Gibraltar 74363490 Equal Double Threaded Stud 1/2-13 5in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 74363490 is an equal double threaded stud with a 1/2-13 UNC thread form on both ends and an overall length of 5 inches. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this stud provides a fixed, thread-on-both-ends fastening point for clamping, mounting, or through-bolt applications where a headed fastener is not suitable. The 2A thread fit class ensures consistent engagement across standard 2B mating nuts and tapped holes. At 0.28 pounds, it is a lightweight but structurally capable fastener suited for mechanical, HVAC structural, plumbing support, and industrial assembly work.

Equal double threaded studs of this type are used in general mechanical and trade construction applications where two components must be drawn together without a bolt head interfering with clearance. Common scenarios include equipment mounting plates, pipe hanger assemblies, HVAC unit hold-down points, and structural bracket connections. The black oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance and is appropriate for interior or protected environments. Installation is performed by qualified mechanics or trade professionals using standard hand or power tools.

Key Features

• Equal thread length on both ends — consistent engagement from either side
• 1/2-13 UNC thread size — widely compatible with standard hardware
• Alloy steel construction — higher tensile strength than plain carbon steel
• Black oxide finish — provides light corrosion resistance for interior applications
• Class 2A thread fit — meets standard tolerance for general mechanical fastening
• 5 inch overall length — suited for moderate-depth clamping and through-mount applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC threaded nuts, couplings, and tapped holes conforming to Class 2B fit tolerances in general mechanical and trade assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical contractors or trade technicians using standard open-end, box, or socket wrenches. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastening into live assemblies. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound where dissimilar metals or corrosive environments are a concern. Follow applicable torque guidelines per ASME or equipment manufacturer specifications for the fastener grade and material in use.
