Gibraltar 74363565 Equal Double Threaded Stud 1/2-13 12 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 74363565 is an equal double threaded stud with a 1/2-13 UNC thread size and a 12-inch overall length. It is machined from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating that provides moderate corrosion resistance and a uniform dark appearance. The stud is manufactured to Thread Fit Class 2A, which is the standard tolerance class for externally threaded fasteners in general industrial and mechanical assembly applications. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians typically use this stud where a fully threaded, continuous fastener with equal engagement on both ends is required.

This stud is suited for structural assembly, equipment mounting, and mechanical fixture applications across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade environments. The equal thread configuration allows the stud to be installed into a tapped hole or nut on each end with identical engagement length, making it well suited for through-bolt, tie-rod, and tensioned-assembly installations. The 12-inch OAL accommodates assemblies requiring extended reach or a stacked-component configuration.

Key Features

• Equal double threaded design provides identical thread engagement on both ends
• 1/2-13 UNC thread size conforms to standard inch-series coarse thread specifications
• 12-inch overall length suits extended-reach and through-assembly applications
• Alloy steel construction delivers higher tensile strength than standard carbon steel fasteners
• Black oxide finish reduces surface friction and provides light corrosion resistance in dry or mildly humid environments
• Class 2A thread fit ensures broad compatibility with standard 2B tapped holes and nuts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for industrial and mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/2-13 UNC Class 2A externally threaded stud with a 12-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson or maintenance technician familiar with threaded fastener assemblies. Ensure mating tapped holes or nuts are Class 2B or equivalent to maintain proper thread fit. Use appropriate thread-locking compound or torque specification per the equipment manufacturer's assembly documentation. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not force the stud into a misaligned or undersized tapped hole.
