Product Information

Full details

The TIMCO M12 x 1000mm Threaded Bar is an essential structural component designed for professionals and contractors who require reliable, heavy-duty fastening solutions in corrosive environments. Crafted from A2 stainless steel, this bar excels in suspending cable trays and securing anchors in both industrial and outdoor settings; however, users should note that while it offers superior corrosion resistance, it is specifically intended for moderate salt atmospheres and may require higher-grade materials for extreme marine conditions.

FAQs

Can I use this bar in coastal areas?

It is rated for urban and industrial areas with a moderate salt atmosphere, but for direct marine or harsh coastal exposure, a higher grade like A4 stainless steel is recommended.

Is this bar magnetic?

A2 stainless steel is generally considered non-magnetic in its annealed state, though some magnetism may be present if the metal has been cold-worked.

What is the primary use of the green paint on the ends?

The green markings are for easy identification on busy construction sites to distinguish this specific grade of stainless steel from other types of threaded rod.

Can I cut this bar with a standard angle grinder?

Yes, but ensure you use a cutting disc specifically rated for stainless steel to prevent overheating and contamination.

Is the thread pitch standard?

Yes, this bar features standard metric coarse threads compatible with standard M12 hardware.

Troubleshooting

Nut does not thread onto the cut end of the bar

Check for burrs caused by the cutting process and use a metal file to smooth the threads, or use a die to re-thread the end.

Surface discoloration or tea staining

Clean the bar with a dedicated stainless steel cleaner or a mild detergent to remove surface contaminants or airborne particles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior corrosion resistance compared to zinc-plated alternatives
  • High tensile strength suitable for heavy structural supports
  • Highly versatile for cutting to custom lengths
  • Green identification markers prevent material mix-ups on site

Cons

  • Not suitable for severe marine or coastal environments
  • Requires manual cutting tools if the 1000mm length is not ideal
  • Heavier than standard steel rods

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the base material is pre-drilled to the correct diameter for your anchor system. When cutting the bar, use a high-quality metal hacksaw or a portable band saw; always file the cut ends to remove burrs that could interfere with nuts or couplers. This bar is fully compatible with standard M12 nuts, washers, and coupling nuts. To maintain the life of the stainless steel, avoid using tools that have been previously used on carbon steel to prevent cross-contamination, which can lead to localized rust spots on the surface of the stainless steel.
