Gibraltar 74363417 Double Threaded Stud 3/8-16 8 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 74363417 is an equal double threaded stud designed for fastening applications requiring threaded engagement on both ends of a single fastener. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this stud measures 8 inches overall length (OAL) with a 3/8-16 thread size and a Class 2A thread fit. The black oxide finish provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection. This type of stud is installed by licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals in mechanical, structural, and equipment-mounting applications where a bolt-through solution is not practical.

Equal double threaded studs are commonly used in HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture assemblies, and general mechanical installations where two threaded connection points are needed on a single fastener body. The 3/8-16 coarse thread pattern is one of the most widely used thread sizes in trade applications, making this stud a frequent fit for equipment brackets, flanges, and structural tie-down assemblies. The equal thread configuration means both ends engage the same thread size and pitch, simplifying hardware selection on the job.

Key Features

• Equal thread configuration on both ends — same 3/8-16 thread size and pitch throughout
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for demanding fastening applications
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectance appearance
• Class 2A thread fit — standard tolerance class for general mechanical fastening
• 8-inch OAL accommodates thicker assemblies, deep flanges, or stacked components

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8-16 equal double threaded stud at 8 inches overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified mechanical, HVAC, or plumbing tradespeople. Always de-energize and relieve pressure from any system before replacing or installing studs in pressurized assemblies. Use the correct thread engagement depth per standard fastening practice and avoid cross-threading during installation. A calibrated torque wrench is recommended; follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidance or relevant code requirements for the assembly type.
