Gibraltar 40714G Double Threaded Stud 1/2-13 8 in Alloy Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 40714G is an equal double threaded stud with a 1/2-13 thread size and an overall length of 8 inches. It is constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, providing corrosion resistance and durability in demanding fastening applications. The stud carries a material grade of 5 and a thread fit class of 50, making it suitable for structural and mechanical assemblies where consistent clamping load is required. A flat is included for installation access. Licensed tradespeople and mechanical contractors use this type of fastener when threading into tapped holes or mounting components between two threaded connections on both ends.

Equal double threaded studs like the 40714G are used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical enclosure mounting, and general mechanical assembly applications. The equal thread configuration means both ends carry the same 1/2-13 thread, allowing the stud to be driven into a tapped bore on one end while a nut is applied to the other. This stud is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a Grade 5 alloy steel fastener meets the load and torque requirements of the joint.

Key Features

• Equal double threaded design — both ends feature 1/2-13 thread for versatile fastening configurations
• Alloy steel construction with material grade 5 for reliable mechanical strength
• Black oxide finish for added corrosion resistance in moderate environments
• Thread fit class 50 for consistent, dependable thread engagement
• Includes a flat for installation and removal with standard wrenching tools
• 8-inch overall length suits applications requiring extended reach between threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical assemblies requiring a 1/2-13 equal double threaded stud with an 8-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical contractors, HVAC technicians, plumbers, or electricians depending on the assembly. Ensure the tapped bore matches the 1/2-13 thread specification before driving the stud. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before working in the fastener area. Use the included flat with an open-end or adjustable wrench to drive and seat the stud without damaging threads.
