Searching for threaded sleeve

Ron, I _think_ I've seen some types of "lamp rod" threaded on the i.d. How long do you need these? I'm wondering if "joiner nuts" for all-thread might work.

Sounds like joiner nuts on a piece of all-thread, turned in a lathe to knock the corners off down to .500

If you have some flexibility on either OD or thread (.500 x

thanks for the info so far, I should say that I am looking for 100 of these, so turning the OD on the hex nuts is not too attractive at that quantity. I have been drilling & threading cold rolled round bar, but that gets old quick, too. keep any ideas coming!

Try this site.

That's easier than drilling and tapping from scratch!

I would say you could do a hundred of those in about 1/2 hour or less. Just run the nuts onto a piece of threaded rod, and turn ten of them at a shot.

Bruce - that is exactly what I am after, now to see if they have any north american outlets. Cheers!

Jim - I should have noted that the length of each unit is 1.5 inches, so a normal hex nut is not going to work out.

Nobody but you is talking about a regular hex nut. We're talking about a COUPLER nut which is much longer. It's used for joining threaded rod sections. I've not followed this thread closely, but it seems to me you want 3/8-16, which coupler nuts are 1-3/4" long. See McMaster Carr part number 93350A100 for specs on grade
