Gibraltar 74363474 Double Threaded Stud 1/2-13 4.5in Oal

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 74363474 is an equal double threaded stud with a 1/2-13 UNC thread on both ends and an overall length of 4.5 inches. Made from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this stud is built for strength and moderate corrosion resistance in fastener assemblies, structural connections, and equipment mounting applications. The Class 2A thread fit ensures a standard external thread tolerance suitable for most general-purpose mechanical assemblies. Plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and HVAC technicians regularly use double threaded studs where a bolt cannot be driven from one side of a joint.

This stud is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a permanent or semi-permanent threaded fastener is needed in metal-to-metal assemblies, equipment bases, flanged connections, and mechanical supports. Its equal-thread configuration means both ends carry the same 1/2-13 thread, allowing nuts to be driven on either end without concern for thread mismatch. The alloy steel construction handles the mechanical loads typical of trade installation work in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical panel or equipment mounting scenarios.

Key Features

• Equal double threaded design — same 1/2-13 thread on both ends for versatile installation
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for demanding mechanical connections
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in service environments
• Class 2A thread fit meets standard external thread tolerance for general-purpose mechanical assemblies
• 4.5-inch overall length suits medium-depth fastening applications across multiple trade disciplines

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose equal double threaded stud for use in standard 1/2-13 UNC threaded applications in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical equipment assembly.

Installation Notes

Double threaded studs are installed by trade professionals using standard hand or power tools rated for 1/2-13 fasteners. De-energize and isolate any equipment before fastening or removing studs in electrical or mechanical enclosures. Use appropriate thread-locking compound or flat washers and nuts as required by the assembly specification. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or IPC where fasteners are used in code-governed installations.
