Swaged Rod 1.125in x 22.5in 5/8in Thread

The Swaged Rod 1.125in x 22.5in 5/8in Thread is a precision marine fastening component designed for boat manufacturers, dealers, and serious watercraft builders who require reliable structural and mechanical applications. Experienced anglers and boaters understand that hardware failure at sea is unacceptable, and this swaged aluminum rod meets those high standards.

Manufactured by M AND W ALUMINUM PRODUCTS, this rod features a 1.125-inch diameter body with a precisely machined 5/8-inch threaded end, ensuring optimal stress distribution and corrosion resistance in both saltwater and freshwater environments. The swaging process cold-works the aluminum, enhancing material density and tensile strength without brittleness, making it superior to simply drilled-and-tapped alternatives.

With a weight of just 0.98 pounds and a length of 22.5 inches, this lightweight aluminum rod is ideal for applications where weight is a concern, such as cabin bracing and transom reinforcement. The threaded end allows for secure, repeatable installation and easy removal for future service, making it a preferred choice for professional boatyard technicians, marine surveyors, and DIY restoration enthusiasts.
