Gibraltar 74363375 Equal Double Threaded Stud 3/8-16 5 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 74363375 is an equal double threaded stud with a 3/8-16 Unified National Coarse thread on both ends and an overall length of 5 inches. Made from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this stud is built for mechanical assemblies that require a fastener threaded on both ends without a plain shank in between. The Class 2A thread fit provides a standard external thread tolerance, appropriate for general-purpose bolted connections in industrial and trade applications. Typical installers include millwrights, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance mechanics working on equipment frames, mounting brackets, and piping supports.

Equal double threaded studs are used where two threaded nuts or components must be drawn together or where a stud must thread into a tapped hole on one end and accept a nut on the other. This part suits residential and light commercial applications including equipment mounting, structural bracing, and mechanical assembly work. The 3/8-16 thread size is one of the most common coarse-thread standards in North American trade work, making this stud a straightforward replacement or supplemental fastener in a wide range of service scenarios.

Key Features

• Equal double threaded design — both ends carry the same 3/8-16 thread with no plain shank section
• Alloy steel construction for higher tensile strength compared to standard carbon steel studs
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies
• Class 2A thread fit meets standard external thread tolerances for general mechanical use
• 5-inch overall length suits medium-depth mounting and through-bolt applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose equal double threaded stud for use in mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting frames, and structural connections requiring a 3/8-16 coarse thread fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanics, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians using standard hand tools and thread gauges. Verify that mating tapped holes or nuts match the 3/8-16 thread specification and Class 2A fit before installation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before working in the fastener zone. Do not over-torque; consult applicable structural or mechanical codes for proper torque values based on joint type and load requirements.
