Jergens 38323 Equal Double Threaded Stud 1/2-13 3in Oal

Product Description

The JERGENS 38323 is an equal double threaded stud with a 1/2-13 thread size and a 3-inch overall length. It features matching thread lengths on both ends, making it suitable for through-bolting and clamping applications where a headless fastener is required. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, the stud carries a Class 2A thread fit, providing a standard external thread tolerance appropriate for general mechanical assembly. Each stud weighs 0.165 pounds. Licensed trades and assembly technicians working in industrial, commercial, and mechanical fabrication environments are the primary installers of this type of fastener.

This stud is used in applications where two components must be joined without a bolt head, or where a fastener must be anchored into a tapped hole on one end while accepting a nut on the other. Common scenarios include equipment mounting, fixture assembly, and structural clamping in industrial and commercial settings. The equal thread configuration means both threaded sections measure 1-1/8 inches, leaving a 3/4-inch unthreaded shank at the center.

Key Features

• Equal double threaded design with 1-1/8 inch thread length on each end
• 3/4-inch unthreaded shank at center for precise shoulder positioning
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding applications
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces glare
• Class 2A thread fit meets standard external thread tolerance specifications
• No flat ground on shank, maintaining full cylindrical profile

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 UNC equal double threaded stud for use in tapped holes or with hex nuts conforming to 1/2-13 thread specifications in general industrial and mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a stud driver or double-nut method to drive the stud into a pre-tapped hole. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten during installation, as alloy steel studs can gall or seize in certain base materials without proper lubrication. Follow applicable torque standards for 1/2-13 fasteners as specified by the equipment manufacturer or relevant industry standards.
