Gibraltar 40554G Unequal Double Threaded Stud 3/8-16 5in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 40554G is an unequal double threaded stud with a 3/8-16 thread size and a 5-inch overall length. It is manufactured from Grade 5 carbon steel with a black oxide finish, providing moderate corrosion resistance and a consistent dark appearance suitable for a range of fastening applications. The long thread measures 1.75 inches and the short thread measures 0.625 inches, allowing secure engagement on both ends with different depth requirements. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals install this type of stud where a bolt cannot be inserted from one side or where a permanent threaded post is needed in an assembly.

This stud is suited for light industrial, mechanical, and trade applications where dual-end threading is required. The unequal thread lengths allow one end to be permanently anchored into a tapped hole or threaded insert while the other end accepts a nut or fitting. Class 50 thread fit ensures reliable engagement across standard 3/8-16 threaded components. It is commonly used in equipment mounting, panel assembly, structural connection points, and mechanical fastening tasks in residential and commercial service work.

Installation Notes

Threaded studs of this type are installed by trade professionals using a stud driver, double-nut method, or appropriate thread engagement tool. Always de-energize and de-pressurize the assembly or equipment before installing or removing fasteners. Verify thread engagement depth on both ends meets application requirements before final torque. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener selection and installation.
