If the material is on the list, the brand shouldn't matter. Did you buy it at a local store, or through a commonly available catalog? If yes, then you should be okay.

Allowable

Since acme threaded rod is available from McMaster's and other catalog companies that we all have equal access to, and since threaded rod is on the allowed materials list, I don't see any reason not to use it. Martus will give the official reply soon.

Acme thread - Official answer - Mike Martus

As Mac has said, since it is threaded rod on the official list and available to all at many sources it is approved.

Thanks for asking. Better to be safe than sorry later.
