Gibraltar 40414G Double Threaded Stud 5/16-18 8 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 40414G is an equal double threaded stud with a 5/16-18 thread size and an overall length of 8 inches. This fully threaded fastener features alloy steel construction with a black oxide finish, providing corrosion resistance and a consistent surface for reliable clamping and assembly. The equal style means both ends carry the same thread specification, making it suitable for symmetrical bolted connections. Material Grade 5 construction delivers the tensile strength required for structural and mechanical assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and industrial installers are the typical end users.

This stud is used in mechanical and structural assembly applications where a fixed threaded anchor or through-bolt configuration is needed. Common installation scenarios include mounting components to equipment frames, securing machinery guards, and assembling flanged connections where a bolt-through approach is not practical. The 5/16-18 UNC thread fits standard imperial hardware in light industrial, commercial, and trade service environments.

Key Features

• Equal double threaded design — both ends are 5/16-18, allowing symmetrical clamping with standard nuts
• Alloy steel construction with Material Grade 5 for reliable tensile strength in mechanical assemblies
• Black oxide finish reduces surface corrosion and minimizes light reflection in service environments
• Thread Fit Class 50 ensures consistent thread engagement and proper fit with mating hardware
• No flat machined on shank — clean cylindrical profile for standard stud applications
• Sold individually, compatible with 5/16-18 UNC nuts and threaded hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC equal double threaded stud for use with any mating hardware conforming to that thread specification. Fits applications requiring Grade 5 alloy steel studs in light industrial, mechanical, and commercial service settings.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools and torque wrenches. Ensure mating threaded holes or nuts are clean and free of debris before threading the stud to avoid cross-threading. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize compound as required by the application. Always torque to the assembly specification for the mating component and hardware grade rather than to a generic value.
