Gibraltar 74363409 Double Threaded Stud 3/8-16 7 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 74363409 is an equal double threaded stud with a 3/8-16 thread size and a 7-inch overall length. It is machined from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating that provides moderate corrosion resistance and a uniform dark appearance. The Thread Fit Class 2A designation indicates a standard external thread tolerance suitable for general-purpose fastening applications. This stud is installed by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians wherever a fixed threaded anchor point is needed on both ends of a single fastener.

Equal double threaded studs are used in a wide range of industrial and mechanical assembly applications where a bolt head would be impractical or where components must be clamped between two nuts. Typical installations include pump flanges, valve bodies, equipment mounting plates, and structural assemblies in commercial and industrial facilities. The equal thread configuration means both ends share the same 3/8-16 thread pitch, simplifying nut selection. The black oxide finish makes this stud well suited to indoor and semi-protected environments where mild surface protection is acceptable.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 unified coarse thread on both ends for consistent nut fitment
• 7-inch overall length provides ample engagement depth for thick flanges or stacked components
• Alloy steel construction offers higher tensile strength than mild steel fasteners
• Black oxide finish reduces surface friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• Thread Fit Class 2A tolerance ensures compatibility with standard Class 2B nuts and tapped holes

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose use in mechanical and industrial assemblies requiring a 3/8-16 external thread fastener with a 7-inch overall length and a Class 2A thread fit.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified machinists, pipefitters, or maintenance mechanics using a stud driver or double-nut method. Always ensure the tapped hole or mating nut meets Class 2B specifications before installation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing fastened assemblies per applicable safety codes. Avoid exceeding the recommended torque range for the 3/8-16 thread class to prevent galling or thread damage.
