Gibraltar 74363326 Double Threaded Stud 3/8-16 2.5in Alloy Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 74363326 is an equal double threaded stud with a 3/8-16 thread size and an overall length of 2.5 inches. Machined from alloy steel and finished in black oxide, this stud provides corrosion resistance and consistent thread engagement at both ends. The Class 2A thread fit ensures dimensional compliance with standard fastener tolerances, making it suitable for reliable assembly in structural, mechanical, and industrial applications. Installers and maintenance technicians working in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades will find this stud appropriate for through-fastening and standoff applications requiring equal thread engagement on each end.

This double threaded stud is well suited for residential and commercial mechanical installations where a fixed stud is required to mate with two separate threaded components. Typical applications include equipment mounting, bracket assembly, and vibration-isolated panel fastening. The black oxide finish reduces surface friction during threading and provides light corrosion protection in dry or mildly humid environments. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of two units.

Key Features

• Equal thread length on both ends for consistent engagement in double-nut or through-fastening applications
• 3/8-16 UNC thread size compatible with standard fractional inch fastener hardware
• Alloy steel construction provides higher tensile strength compared to standard carbon steel studs
• Black oxide finish offers light corrosion resistance and reduces galling during installation
• Class 2A thread fit meets standard dimensional tolerances for general mechanical assembly

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC equal double threaded stud for use with any mating 3/8-16 threaded hardware in mechanical, HVAC, or industrial assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical tradespeople using standard combination wrenches or a stud driver. Thread both ends fully into mating components and verify Class 2A tolerance fit before applying load. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip threads in softer mating materials such as aluminum housings. De-energize and de-pressurize any equipment before removing or replacing structural fasteners.
