Jergens 38327 Equal Double Threaded Stud 1/2-13 5 in Oal

Product Description

The JERGENS 38327 is an equal double threaded stud with a 1/2-13 thread size and a 5-inch overall length. It is manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance in demanding fastening applications. Each end carries a 1.5-inch threaded length, leaving a 2-inch unthreaded shank in the center. Thread fit is Class 2A, indicating a standard external thread tolerance suited for general mechanical assemblies. This stud is installed by licensed mechanical contractors, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople working on equipment mounting, fixture assembly, and structural fastening tasks.

Equal double threaded studs are used wherever a bolt cannot be inserted from one side or where permanent stud mounting is required. The 1/2-13 coarse thread makes this stud well suited for steel-to-steel connections in light industrial and commercial equipment, HVAC mounting frameworks, pump and compressor housings, and general mechanical assemblies. The black oxide finish provides a mild level of corrosion protection for indoor and semi-protected environments. The 2-inch unthreaded shank centers the stud and provides clearance for mating parts.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or tradespeople using a stud driver or double-nut method to drive the stud into a tapped hole. Ensure the receiving threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound as appropriate for the service environment. Follow applicable torque specifications for 1/2-13 fasteners per the equipment manufacturer or relevant industry standards.
