Gibraltar 40708G Double Threaded Stud 1/2-13 5 in Alloy Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 40708G is an equal double threaded stud with a 1/2-13 thread size and an overall length of 5 inches. It is manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, providing corrosion resistance and durability in demanding fastener applications. The stud features a Class 50 thread fit and a Grade 5 material rating, making it suitable for medium-to-high strength bolted connections. A flat is present on the stud body to assist with installation. This type of fastener is commonly installed by millwrights, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors in equipment assembly and mounting applications.

Equal double threaded studs like the 40708G are used in a wide range of mechanical and industrial assembly applications where a bolt-through connection is not practical. The equal thread configuration means both ends carry the same 1/2-13 thread, allowing the stud to be threaded into a tapped hole on one end and secured with a nut on the other. This part is well suited for residential and commercial mechanical equipment, pump housings, compressor mounts, HVAC equipment frames, and similar structural or service access points where repeated disassembly is required.

Key Features

• Equal double threaded design with 1/2-13 thread on both ends
• 5 inch overall length for standard mid-range fastener applications
• Alloy steel construction with Grade 5 material rating for medium-to-high strength service
• Black oxide finish for added corrosion resistance
• Class 50 thread fit for consistent engagement and torque performance
• Flat on body to facilitate installation with a wrench

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 equal double threaded stud for use in any tapped hole or threaded application calling for this thread size and 5 inch overall length in alloy steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation of double threaded studs is typically performed by licensed mechanical contractors, millwrights, or HVAC technicians. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before performing fastener service on mechanical systems. Use appropriate thread engagement depth per the equipment manufacturer's specifications, and apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound as required by the application. Verify thread class compatibility with mating tapped holes before installation.
