Gibraltar 74363557 Equal Double Threaded Stud 1/2-13 10 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 74363557 is an equal double threaded stud with a 1/2-13 thread size and an overall length of 10 inches. It is manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, providing corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The Thread Fit Class 2A designation indicates a standard external thread tolerance suitable for general-purpose fastening applications. This stud is used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors wherever a fully threaded, equal-engagement double-end fastener is required for secure mechanical connections.

Equal double threaded studs like the GIBRALTAR 74363557 are used in a wide range of trade and industrial applications, including HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture installation, electrical panel and equipment anchoring, and structural fastening. The equal thread configuration means both ends carry the same 1/2-13 thread, allowing the stud to be threaded into a tapped hole on one end and secured with a nut on the other. This makes it well suited for through-bolt replacements and equipment-to-structure connections in both residential and commercial installations.

Key Features

• Equal double threaded design with 1/2-13 thread on both ends for symmetrical engagement
• 10-inch overall length accommodates deep-reach fastening applications
• Alloy steel construction delivers high tensile strength for structural and mechanical use
• Black oxide finish provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Thread Fit Class 2A meets standard external thread tolerance requirements for general fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose equal double threaded stud compatible with any application requiring a 1/2-13 UNC thread and a 10-inch overall length fastener in alloy steel with a black oxide finish.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical tradespeople using standard hand or power tools appropriate for 1/2-13 fasteners. Ensure the receiving tapped hole or nut is free of debris and properly aligned before threading. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize compound if required by the application or local code. Always follow relevant fastener torque guidelines established by the equipment manufacturer or applicable mechanical codes.
