Gibraltar 74363508 Double Threaded Stud 1/2-13 5.5in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 74363508 is an equal double threaded stud with a 1/2-13 thread size and an overall length of 5.5 inches. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this stud delivers reliable tensile strength and corrosion resistance in demanding fastener applications. The Class 2A thread fit ensures a standard external thread tolerance suitable for general-purpose industrial and mechanical assemblies. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople use double threaded studs where a bolt cannot be turned and a strong threaded connection is required at both ends.

This stud is suited for use in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment assemblies where a fixed threaded anchor point is needed on both ends. The equal thread configuration means both threaded sections are identical in length and thread specification, simplifying installation in symmetrical clamping or mounting applications. The black oxide finish provides mild surface protection and is appropriate for indoor or sheltered environments.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard inch-series fastener hardware
• 5.5-inch overall length suits medium-depth clamping and stud-mounting applications
• Equal double thread configuration provides identical threaded sections on both ends
• Alloy steel construction delivers high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish reduces surface corrosion and minimizes light reflection
• Class 2A thread fit meets standard external thread tolerance per ASME B1.1

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose equal double threaded stud for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC inch-series nuts and threaded components in mechanical and trade equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, pipefitters, or general trade mechanics using standard open-end or socket wrenches. Thread the stud into the base material by driving it with a double-nut locking method to avoid damaging the threads. Ensure both mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound where appropriate to facilitate future removal.
