PGB threaded rod 4.8 DIN976A M5 x 1000 Zn/st

Because the thread runs continuously, you can secure the rod at any point you need. You can cut a one-meter rod to size yourself, so one item can be used for many different applications.

What do 4.8, DIN976A and M5x1000 mean?

M5 indicates the thread diameter of 5 mm and 1000 is the length in millimetres, so one metre. DIN976A refers to the standard for threaded rods with a thread over the full length. The number 4.8 is the strength class. This is a standard class for general use. If you have a heavily loaded structure, check the required strength class carefully and ask for advice if needed.

Galvanised steel: what should you watch out for?

The zinc layer protects the steel against rust, especially in dry and indoor spaces. In a humid environment, outdoors or in contact with aggressive substances, another version, such as stainless steel, is often a better choice. Preferably use nuts and washers of the same size and a matching finish, so that the connection is uniform.

Cutting and combining M5 threaded rod

You can cut the rod to length with a metal saw or a suitable cutter. Screw a nut onto the rod beforehand, so that after sawing you can turn it back over the cut to restore the thread. For M5 you need nuts of the same size. When ordering, always check that the diameter and length suit your application.
