Tunking Patti (GI Threaded Rod) – Complete Buying Guide for India
Tunking Patti is the commonly used trade name in India for Galvanised Iron (GI) Threaded Rods — fully threaded steel fasteners used extensively in electrical, civil, and mechanical installations. These rods are the backbone of cable tray suspension systems, conduit hangers, lighting support structures, false ceiling frameworks, and industrial equipment mounting. If you are a licensed electrician, electrical contractor, civil engineer, or project procurement manager, you already know that the right diameter and grade of GI threaded rod can make or break the integrity of your installation.
At Elecload, we stock GI threaded rods in the four most commonly demanded sizes in India: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm, all under the brand ELECLOAD INDIA, made in India, and classified under HSN Code 7316 for accurate GST billing.
Frequently Asked Questions – Tunking Patti / GI Threaded Rod
Q1. What is Tunking Patti and why is it used in electrical installations?
“Tunking Patti” is the Indian trade term for a Galvanised Iron (GI) Threaded Rod — a length of steel rod with continuous threading along its entire length. In electrical work, it is primarily used to suspend cable trays from ceilings, support conduit runs, hang distribution boards, and mount lighting fixtures or false ceiling channels. The galvanised zinc coating provides rust resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor electrical projects. The fully threaded design allows nuts and washers to be fixed at any point along the rod, offering flexible installation options.
Q2. What sizes of GI Threaded Rods are available at Elecload?
Elecload currently stocks GI Threaded Rods in four standard diameters: 6mm (₹60/piece), 8mm (₹75/piece), 10mm (₹110/piece), and 12mm (₹160/piece). All sizes are Made in India and are available for immediate delivery. Prices shown are significantly discounted from MRP — up to 55% off. For bulk project requirements, contact Elecload for custom pricing and volume discounts.
Q3. How do I choose the right size of GI Threaded Rod for my project?
The choice of GI threaded rod size depends on the load it needs to support and the span between supports. As a general guideline used widely in Indian electrical contracting practice: 6mm rods are used for light-duty applications such as small conduit hangers or lightweight light fixtures. 8mm rods are the most common choice for standard cable tray suspension in residential and light commercial projects. 10mm rods are used for heavier cable trays, longer spans, or industrial conduit support. 12mm rods are specified for heavy-duty industrial installations, large cable trays with significant cable loads, or structural support applications. When in doubt, always follow the load specifications in your project design or consult your electrical engineer.
Q4. What is HSN Code 7316 and why does it matter when buying GI Threaded Rods?
HSN Code 7316 covers “Anchors, grapnels and parts thereof, of iron or steel” — under which GI threaded rods and related fasteners are classified in India’s GST structure. When you purchase GI threaded rods from Elecload, your invoice will correctly carry HSN 7316, ensuring your purchase is fully GST-compliant. This is critical for contractors, businesses, and project managers who need clean invoices for tax input credit (ITC) claims and project billing to clients. Elecload is a GST-registered business and all invoices are valid for ITC purposes.
Q5. What is the difference between a GI Threaded Rod and a plain GI Rod?
A GI Threaded Rod (Tunking Patti) has continuous threading along its full length, allowing nuts to be tightened at any point — this is essential for height-adjustable suspension systems like cable tray hangers and ceiling supports. A plain GI Rod (smooth rod) has no threading and cannot accept nuts or bolts. For all suspension and support applications in electrical installations, only fully threaded rods are used. Elecload stocks fully threaded GI rods in all four available sizes.
Q6. Can GI Threaded Rods be cut to a custom length on site?
Yes. GI threaded rods can be cut on-site using a hacksaw or angle grinder. Since the threading runs the full length of the rod, cutting at any point still leaves a usable threaded end — no re-threading is required. This makes them highly versatile for projects where ceiling heights vary or custom drop lengths are needed. Standard lengths available from Elecload are suitable for most ceiling-to-tray spans in commercial and industrial buildings.
Q7. Are these GI Threaded Rods suitable for outdoor or humid environments?
Yes. The “GI” in GI Threaded Rod stands for Galvanised Iron — the steel rod is coated with a zinc layer through a hot-dip or electro-galvanising process, which provides significant corrosion resistance. This makes GI threaded rods suitable for use in moderately humid environments, coastal areas (with appropriate maintenance), outdoor covered structures, and industrial zones with chemical exposure. For extreme outdoor conditions or direct weather exposure, stainless steel threaded rods may be preferred.
Q8. What accessories do I need along with GI Threaded Rods for cable tray installation?
For a complete cable tray suspension system using GI threaded rods, you will typically need: GI Threaded Rods (the vertical hanger), Hex Nuts and Washers (for locking the rod to the slab insert and the cable tray bracket), Spring Nuts or Channel Nuts (if using strut channel systems), Cable Tray Brackets or Beam Clamps (the horizontal support), and Slab Inserts or Drop-In Anchors (to fix the rod to the ceiling slab). Elecload stocks cable accessories including cable trays and related hardware — browse the Cable Accessories section for compatible products.
Q9. Does Elecload offer bulk pricing on GI Threaded Rods for contractors and large projects?
