Gibraltar 74214016 Double Threaded Stud 1/4-20 Alloy Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 74214016 is an equal double threaded stud with a 1/4-20 thread size and an overall length of 3.5 inches. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this stud provides corrosion resistance and durability in demanding fastening applications. The Class 2A thread fit ensures standard external thread tolerances suitable for general mechanical assembly. Installers use this type of hardware in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and structural mechanical assemblies where a double-ended threaded connection point is required between two components.

Equal double threaded studs are commonly used in residential and commercial mechanical installations. This stud is suited for applications where both ends require the same thread engagement, such as securing panels, mounting brackets, or connecting components in tight or inline fastening scenarios. The black oxide finish reduces friction during installation and offers mild corrosion resistance in indoor or protected environments.

Key Features

• Equal thread engagement on both ends for symmetrical fastening
• 1/4-20 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard hardware
• 3.5-inch overall length provides adequate engagement depth for typical mechanical assemblies
• Alloy steel construction delivers strength and durability under load
• Black oxide finish reduces surface friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• Class 2A thread fit meets standard external thread tolerance requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 equal double threaded stud for use in general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical fastening applications requiring a symmetrical double-end threaded fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, or general mechanical tradespeople using standard hand tools. Power down or de-energize any equipment before installing or removing studs in live assemblies. Apply appropriate thread locking compound or torque to specification per the equipment manufacturer guidelines. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip the 1/4-20 thread or damage mating components.
