Gibraltar 40702G Equal Double Threaded Stud 1/2-13 2 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 40702G is an equal double threaded stud with a 1/2-13 thread size and a 2-inch overall length. This stud is threaded equally on both ends, allowing it to anchor into one component while accepting a nut or mating part on the opposite end. It is made from alloy steel with a black oxide finish and carries a material grade 5 rating. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use this type of fastener in mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural connections where a through-bolt is not practical.

This stud is suited for general industrial and mechanical applications where a permanent or semi-permanent threaded anchor point is needed. The 1/2-13 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in North American mechanical work, making this stud compatible with standard 1/2-13 nuts, flanges, and threaded inserts. It is commonly installed in equipment frames, pump housings, gear boxes, and similar assemblies in industrial maintenance environments. The equal thread length on both ends simplifies installation when identical engagement depth is required on each side of a joint.

Key Features

• Equal double threaded design provides identical thread engagement on both ends
• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread — common standard size for wide hardware compatibility
• 2-inch overall length suits shallow to mid-depth fastening applications
• Alloy steel construction with material grade 5 rating for reliable mechanical strength
• Black oxide finish adds mild corrosion resistance and reduces surface glare
• Thread fit class 50 for consistent engagement tolerances

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC threaded nuts, inserts, and tapped holes in general mechanical and industrial assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a stud driver, double-nut method, or locking pliers. Ensure the tapped receiving hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as doing so can strip the threads or compromise the thread fit class tolerance. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and relevant mechanical codes for the assembly in which this stud is used.
