Hey guys about to start up a bubbler build and was looking to do a plate tree. Anyone know where I can get stainless steel threaded rod preferably NOR but if not thats all good. Cheers.

Big green shed has stainless all thread :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Weird I went and couldn't find any in the fasteners area and asked around, staff all said they didn't have it. Have to go have another good look and not listen to staff :handgestures-thumbupleft: cheers for the help bluc.

In our store its on the end of the fasteners aisle.(towards back of shop) Standing up on end in pvc holders. They have galvanised and stainless.

Just realised ours is a superstore standard ones may not have it..

Someone like bolt master or united fasteners will stock ss booker rod. The ones I've seen in Bunnings are only gal or zinc coated. Haven't got a super store up here though

The website for the big green box says they don't have SS threaded rod. Not even as a special order. Besides you can often get stuff like that cheaper at businesses that specialise in fasteners.

What size and length ya after,am putting the feelers out now.Stirlings in Freo may be worth a call.cheers hillzabilly ;-)

Honestly hillz size isn't too important for me but preferably m12 or smaller as i'm going a 3" column and want more space on the plate rather than less. Preferably 1m length as i'm only doing 5 plates all up.

If you have a united fastners over there I would head there. I bought 3x 1mtr lengths of 6mm stainless allthread plus 30 nuts and washers the other day for under $20 :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Just called Stirlings in Freo they have 8-12mm threaded rod and was quoted $15 for a 1mt lenght of 10mm quote number is 819178,they carry nuts and washers and a shitload of other stainless stuff I am sure you will drool when ya visit the shop with a lot on display to snoop thru instead of just a counter and prices are very fair .cheers hillzabilly ;-)

Your right wj and db no stainless rod at bunnings. Sorry for the mix up :oops:

Cheers guy both places sound the goods. United is a little easier for me to get to since its around the corner from curtin uni so I'll check out what they have on offer. If not Stirlings it is :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yeah pretty much any bolts/fasteners supplier will have a little rack of 1m all-thread rod.
Smaller sizes as you have found will be cheaper.

Most of the ones i have seen stock their stainless fasteners from "Hobson" but this may just be a NSW thing.

Industrial suppliers will always be cheaper than the green shed, and they have a better range.

:text-+1: on stirlings. Got clamps and epdm seals too

One place I visited did not do cash sales,so ya needed a bank card and had a minimum purchase of either 20 or 50 bucks,and the idiot behind the counter could not figure out why I left laughing at him,I only wanted one m8 stainless castle nut and a mudgaurd washer to match :laughing-rolling: :angry-banghead: ,its a problem I had in the early days ta find supplies,wich is another reason I joined the forum,ta point others in the right direction and to be guided by others as well.cheers hillzabilly ;-)

Cheers for all the help you give on the forum hillz :) might hit up stirlings if they've got good prices on clamps and seals. Cheers for the help everyone :D

Just returning the good will shown ta me ,another place of interest is Pro Chem just of Orrong rd down welshpool way,both places have pretty good downloadable catalogs as well.cheers hillzabilly ;-)

If your north of the river try West Coast Fasteners in Balcatta there retail counter is down a driveway and behind roller door but clearly signed cheapest stainless steel fixing supplier in Perth by far and they sell direct to the public they will pick your order while you wait
Or if you've got heaps of money and you don't mind going back to pick your order Up 2 days later there's always Austain in Belmont

Cheers ken may check them out since its heaps closer to me. Busy with uni for a few days at least so won't get a chance to go anywhere but once I do I'm glad I've got options.
