Product Description
The Simpson ATR 1/2 in. x 12 in. All-Thread Rod is a fully threaded fastening rod engineered by Simpson for dependable tension transfer in structural and general construction applications. Threaded along its entire length, this 1/2 in. diameter, 12 in. long rod is made from uncoated black steel, giving installers consistent thread engagement at any point along the rod for versatile positioning and connection.

Key Features
- Fully threaded along entire length - provides maximum flexibility in positioning nuts, connectors, and hardware anywhere along the rod without dead zones
- Cut to length for convenience - arrives pre-cut to 12 in., reducing job-site prep time and ensuring a ready-to-install fit
- 1/2 in. diameter - a widely used fastener size that works with standard hardware and fittings common in both light framing and heavier structural assemblies
- Uncoated black steel construction - delivers solid base-metal strength for interior structural connections where no corrosion-resistant coating is required
- UNC Class 2A or 1A thread specifications - conforms to recognized Unified National Coarse thread standards, ensuring compatibility with standard nuts and threaded connectors
Why This Product
- Designed specifically for tension transfer - the ATR rod is purpose-built for structural tension applications, not a generic threaded fastener, giving buyers confidence in its intended engineering use case
- Full-length threading eliminates placement restrictions - because every inch of the rod is threaded, connections can be made at any position, reducing waste and simplifying installation in tight or unconventional framing conditions
- Standard UNC thread profile ensures broad hardware compatibility - conforming to UNC Class 2A or 1A specifications means the rod pairs reliably with widely available nuts and connectors without requiring special-order hardware
- Backed by Simpson, a trusted name in structural connectors - the ATR rod comes from a brand with deep roots in engineered structural fastening, offering builders a product held to consistent manufacturing standards
