Mild Steel Threaded Rod

Mild Steel Threaded Rod – Glasgow & UK Wide

When it comes to construction, mechanical, or electrical work in Glasgow and across the UK, mild steel threaded rods offer a reliable, cost-effective fastening solution. Known also as studding or allthread, these steel rods are fully threaded along their length, allowing you to securely join, support, or suspend materials in a wide variety of applications.

Material and Finish

Our mild steel threaded rods are made from high-quality Grade 4.8 mild steel and coated with bright zinc plating (BZP) for excellent corrosion resistance indoors and in mildly corrosive environments. This finish helps protect the rod against rust and wear, extending the lifespan and reliability of every installation.

Sizes and Standards

Standard metric sizes include M6, M8, M10, M12, and M16. They come in popular lengths of 1, 2, and 3 meters with custom cuts available for exact project requirements.

Additionally, for smaller or precision projects, we offer short length mild steel studding in M10 diameter with lengths ranging from 25mm up to 150mm:

• M10 x 25mm

• M10 x 30mm

• M10 x 40mm

• M10 x 50mm

• M10 x 60mm

• M10 x 70mm

• M10 x 80mm

• M10 x 100mm

• M10 x 120mm

• M10 x 150mm

These are available in boxes of 100 for convenience or as single units if you only need a few.

Our threaded rods comply with DIN 975 and ISO 898-1 standards, ensuring precise thread pitch (M10 has a 1.5 mm pitch) and compatibility with UK standard nuts, washers, and connectors.

Mechanical Properties

Mild steel threaded rods provide strong performance with tensile strength around 480 MPa (Grade 4.8). This means they can safely bear loads in light to medium structural and mechanical applications, making them perfect for jobs where structural integrity is crucial but stainless steel isn’t necessary.

Typical Applications

Mild steel threaded rods are versatile and used widely for:

• Suspending ceilings, pipework, and containment trays in construction projects

• Securing ductwork, cable trays, and equipment in HVAC and electrical settings

• Bracing and mounting applications in mechanical and general construction work

While zinc plating helps resist corrosion, mild steel rods are best used indoors or in environments with limited exposure to harsh weather or chemicals. For outdoor or marine use, stainless steel is recommended.

Accessories and Installation

Compatible with a broad range of nuts, washers, couplers, and thread convertors, our threaded rods can be combined for modular and flexible installation solutions. The availability of short studding lengths in convenient boxes makes your job easier when small components or precise fittings are required.
