How to Order
1. Stud Grades and Surface Coating
Stud Grade and Surface Coating may impact the lead time, and cost of a Tie Rod Assembly. If you need a grade not offered by this configurator, place your request in the notes section.
- ASTM F1554-Grade 36 : Low carbon, 36 ksi yield steel.
- ASTM F1554-Grade 55 : High strength, low alloy, 55 ksi yield steel.
- ASTM F1554-Grade 105 : Alloy, heat treated, high strength 105 ksi yield steel.
- ASTM A449 Type 1 : Plain carbon steel, carbon boron steel, alloy steel, or alloy boron steel. 1/4" - 1", 92 ksi min yield strength. 1-1/8" - 1-1/2", 81 ksi min yield strength. 1-5/8" - 3", 58 ksi min yield strength.
- ASTM A193-Grade B7 : Alloy steel, AISI 4140/4142 quenched and tempered. Up to 2-1/2", 105 min yield strength. 2-5/8" - 4", 95 min yield strength. 4-1/8" - 7", 75 min yield strength.
- ASTM A354-Grade BD : Medium-Carbon Alloy, quenched and tempered. 1â„4" - 2-1â„2", 130 ksi yield. 2-5â„8" - 4", 115 ksi yield.
- Stainless Steel Type 304 : Versatile, general purpose stainless steel with good resistance to atmospheric corrosion, and to many chemicals. 30 ksi min
- Stainless Steel Type 316 : Commonly used in industrial applications and high-saline environments due to it's high corrosion resistance. Protects against chlorides, industrial solvents, and de-icing salts. 30 ksi min
2. Pin to Pin
The length of the Tie Rod Assembly from the centerline of the clevis pin on one end of the assembly to the centerline of the clevis pin on the opposite end.
3. Rod Diameter
Your choice of Rod Diameter will determine compatible clevis and turnbuckle size options. Some diameters of rod may be utilized with more than one clevis size. A larger Clevis may affect the size of the "grip" (distance between the clevis ears). The wider the grip the larger the plate a clevis can be fixed to.
Choosing Your Clevis:
This Tie Rod Assembly Configurator allows you to select from 3 attributes of a Clevis. Clevis Number, Clevis Pin Diameter, and Clevis Grip. If you're looking for physical dimensions of our clevises click on the link below.
1/29/165/8
4. Clevis Number
Compatible Clevis Number options are determined by your choice of rod diameter. In some cases you will receive multiple clevis size options. The larger the clevis the larger the grip will be.
5. Clevis Pin Ø (Diameter)
The Configurator will calculate the Maximum and Minimum Clevis Pin Diameters available for your Tie Rod Assembly. Please select a size from within that range and enter it into the text field below the Maximum and Minimum dropdowns. If a pin size is not provided we will quote based on the rod diameter of the assembly (Minimum Pin Size).
6. Clevis Grip
The Configurator will calculate the Maximum and Minimum Clevis Grip Size (distance between the clevis ears) available for your Tie Rod Assembly. The wider the grip the larger the plate a clevis can be fixed to. Please select a size from within that range and enter it into the text field below the Maximum and Minimum drop-down. If a Grip Size is not provided we will quote based on minimum grip size.
