Value Collection 36979 Unequal Threaded Stud 2.5 in Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36979 is an unequal double threaded stud designed for fastening applications that require different thread specifications on each end. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel with a yellow zinc dichromate finish for corrosion resistance, this stud measures 2.5 inches overall length. The long end carries a 7/16-20 thread over 1 inch, while the short end carries a 7/16-14 thread over 0.875 inches, with a 0.625-inch unthreaded shank between the two threaded zones. It is installed by licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on mechanical assemblies, machinery, and structural fastening applications where double-end studs are required.

This unequal threaded stud is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and trade applications where two components must be fastened together with a stud rather than a bolt. The differing thread pitches on each end allow the stud to engage separate components with the correct thread engagement on each side. No flat is present on the shank, so installation requires a stud driver or locking nut method. Typical applications include equipment mounting, machinery assembly, and mechanical maintenance work across HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial settings.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding fastening applications
• Yellow zinc dichromate finish provides corrosion resistance in typical service environments
• Unequal thread configuration: 7/16-20 long end and 7/16-14 short end for multi-component fastening
• 0.625-inch unthreaded shank separates the two threaded zones
• 2.5 inches overall length fits standard double-end stud applications
• No flat on shank - requires stud driver or locking nut for installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 7/16-inch unequal double threaded stud with Grade 8 alloy steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with threaded fastener procedures. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing fastening hardware. Because no flat is present on the shank, use a proper stud driver or apply two locking nuts to install or remove the stud without damaging threads. Follow applicable torque specifications per the equipment manufacturer and relevant fastener standards.
