Gibraltar 74363250 Equal Double Threaded Stud 5/16-18 2in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 74363250 is an equal double threaded stud with a 5/16-18 thread size and a 2-inch overall length. This fastener features external threads on both ends of equal length, allowing it to mate with two separate threaded components without a bolt head. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it provides solid mechanical strength and basic corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered applications. It is sized to a Thread Fit Class 2A, indicating a standard external thread tolerance suitable for general-purpose assembly work. Mechanical contractors, HVAC technicians, electricians, and maintenance professionals regularly use double-ended studs for equipment mounting, panel attachment, and structural connections.

This stud is suited for light industrial and commercial assembly applications where a headless, double-threaded fastener is required. Typical uses include mounting equipment to brackets, securing panels or covers, and joining two threaded components in-line. The black oxide finish makes it appropriate for interior installations or protected environments where minimal surface treatment is acceptable. The 5/16-18 thread size is a common unified coarse thread widely used across HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• Equal double-end thread configuration for symmetrical engagement on both sides
• 5/16-18 unified coarse thread for broad hardware compatibility
• 2-inch overall length suits standard mounting depth applications
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for mechanical fastening
• Black oxide finish offers basic corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Thread Fit Class 2A ensures standard tolerance for general-purpose use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose equal double threaded stud compatible with any 5/16-18 threaded nut, coupling, or tapped hole requiring a 2-inch headless stud fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals using a stud driver, double-nut method, or locking pliers to thread the stud into a tapped hole or coupling. Ensure the receiving threads are clean and free of debris before installation to achieve proper fit and engagement. Do not overtighten, as alloy steel studs can gall or seize in soft tapped materials. Always follow applicable mechanical and structural fastening standards for the equipment being serviced.
