Value Collection 45746 Fully Threaded Stud 1/4-20 1-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 45746 is a fully threaded stud with a 1/4-20 unified coarse thread form and an overall length of 1-3/4 inches. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated plain finish, this stud provides reliable corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and chemically exposed environments. Fully threaded studs eliminate the need for a shoulder or reduced shank, allowing engagement along the entire length of the fastener. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general mechanical contractors use these studs when double-nut or through-bolt applications require consistent thread engagement from end to end.

This stud is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, panel mounting, equipment brackets, and fixture attachments where 1/4-20 thread is the specified fastener standard. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor and outdoor installations, including humid mechanical rooms, rooftop equipment, and marine-adjacent environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. It is sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 10.

Key Features

• Full 1/4-20 thread engagement along the entire 1-3/4 inch body length
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor service conditions
• Uncoated plain finish is compatible with standard stainless hardware and avoids finish mismatch in exposed assemblies
• Unified coarse 1/4-20 thread mates with standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, and tapped holes
• Minimum order quantity of 10 units suits jobsite stocking and small parts inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 fully threaded stud for use with any 1/4-20 threaded nuts, tapped holes, or threaded inserts in mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical panel assemblies.

Installation Notes

Fully threaded studs are typically installed by threading one end into a tapped hole or securing with a nut and locking the stud in place before adding the mating component. Use two jam nuts or an appropriate thread-locking method to set the stud at the desired engagement depth. De-energize all electrical circuits and relieve system pressure before working in mechanical enclosures or live service panels. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation — apply an anti-seize compound appropriate for stainless hardware and hand-start threads carefully before applying torque.
