Gibraltar 74363888 Equal Double Threaded Stud 1-8 Thread

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 74363888 is an equal double threaded stud with a 1-8 UNC thread size and an overall length of 5 inches. It is manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, providing corrosion resistance in moderate service environments. The Thread Fit Class 2A designation indicates a standard external thread tolerance, suitable for general mechanical fastening applications. This type of stud is typically installed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and other trade professionals working on structural assemblies, pump housings, flanges, and similar equipment.

Equal double threaded studs are used where a bolt cannot be inserted from one side, or where a permanent anchor point is needed in a tapped hole. The equal thread configuration means both ends feature the same thread size and pitch, making this stud interchangeable end-to-end during installation. Common applications include machinery assembly, flange connections, and equipment mounting in industrial and commercial maintenance settings.

Key Features

• Equal double threaded design with matching 1-8 UNC thread on both ends
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding fastening applications
• Black oxide finish for moderate corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection
• Thread Fit Class 2A for standard external thread tolerance and broad nut compatibility
• 5 inch overall length suits medium-depth flange and housing applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use equal double threaded stud for industrial and commercial mechanical assemblies requiring a 1-8 UNC thread and 5 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or trades professional using appropriate thread engagement depth per the assembly specification. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before removing or installing studs on live machinery. Use a stud driver or double-nut method to thread the stud into the tapped hole without damaging the threads. Inspect tapped holes for damage or contamination before installation to ensure proper thread engagement.
