Gibraltar 40505G Double Threaded Stud 3/8-16 3.5 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 40505G is an equal double threaded stud with a 3/8-16 thread size and an overall length of 3.5 inches. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this stud is built for strength and corrosion resistance in demanding fastener applications. The Grade 5 material rating and Class 50 thread fit indicate a precision-machined component suited for secure, load-bearing connections. Both ends carry the same 3/8-16 thread, making it a true equal stud for symmetrical assembly work. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and mechanical contractors install this type of fastener where a bolt-through connection is not practical and a threaded post is required on both sides of a joint.

This stud is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial mechanical systems wherever a double-ended threaded fastener is needed. Common applications include equipment mounting, pipe support assemblies, panel attachment, and general structural fastening. The flat feature on the stud body aids in torquing and positioning during installation. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces surface glare, making it suitable for interior mechanical and electrical enclosure environments.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 equal double threaded stud suitable for general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical fastening applications requiring a symmetrical threaded post.

Installation Notes

Install using an appropriate wrench or stud driver on the flat of the stud body to avoid thread damage. Shut down and de-energize any equipment before servicing fastener connections in electrical or mechanical enclosures. Follow applicable code requirements including NEC or IFGC guidelines when fastening equipment in regulated systems. Do not overtighten; use manufacturer torque specifications for the connected equipment as the guide.
