Gibraltar 74363318 Equal Double Threaded Stud 3/8-16 2in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 74363318 is an equal double threaded stud with a 3/8-16 thread size and a 2-inch overall length. It is machined from alloy steel and finished in black oxide for corrosion resistance. The stud carries a Class 2A thread fit, indicating a standard external thread tolerance suitable for general fastening applications. Equal double threaded studs are used when a fastener must thread into a tapped hole on one end and accept a nut on the other, with identical thread engagement on both ends. Installation and removal are handled by plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC mechanics, and general mechanical contractors working with threaded assemblies in equipment mounting and piping support applications.

This stud is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical applications where a removable, two-ended threaded connection is required. Typical uses include equipment mounting brackets, flanged connections, pump assemblies, and structural supports where both ends must engage threaded components. The 3/8-16 coarse thread pattern is widely compatible with standard hardware and fittings found in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical systems.

Key Features

• Equal thread engagement on both ends for symmetrical fastening
• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread pattern for broad compatibility with standard hardware
• Alloy steel construction for strength in mechanical and structural applications
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light glare during service
• Class 2A thread fit meets standard external thread tolerance requirements
• 2-inch overall length suits compact mounting and flange applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fastener replacement or new installation component for any assembly requiring a 3/8-16 equal double threaded stud with a 2-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed mechanics, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians using appropriately sized hex nuts and wrenches. De-energize and depressurize any system before replacing or installing fasteners in live assemblies. Apply thread-locking compound or anti-seize as required by the equipment manufacturer. Verify thread engagement depth meets the fastener and joint design requirements before torquing mating hardware.
