Value Collection 45749 Fully Threaded Stud 1/4-20 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 45749 is a fully threaded stud with a 1/4-20 unified coarse thread form and an overall length of 2.5 inches. Fully threaded studs run threads from end to end, eliminating the unthreaded shank found on standard bolts. This makes them well suited for through-hole fastening applications where adjustable clamping depth or double-nut installation is required. The stud is manufactured from carbon steel at material grade 3.6 and carries a black oxide coating that provides a baseline level of rust inhibition. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors reach for studs like this when securing equipment brackets, duct supports, pipe hangers, and panel components.

This stud is appropriate for light-duty threaded fastening tasks in residential and commercial mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. Common applications include mounting junction boxes, fastening equipment feet to strut channel, securing access panel hardware, and assembling threaded rod assemblies. The 1/4-20 thread size is one of the most common imperial thread standards in trade work, making compatible nuts, couplers, and hardware widely available. The 2.5-inch overall length suits moderate-depth through-hole and tapped-hole installations where standard hex-head bolts are not practical.

Key Features

• Fully threaded from end to end for maximum thread engagement flexibility
• 1/4-20 unified coarse thread for broad hardware compatibility
• 2.5-inch overall length suits a range of through-hole depths
• Carbon steel construction at material grade 3.6
• Black oxide coating applied to inhibit surface rust
• Uncoated (plain) base finish with no plating that could affect dimensional tolerancing

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application accepting a 1/4-20 threaded fastener. Compatible with standard 1/4-20 hex nuts, coupling nuts, wing nuts, and threaded inserts commonly used in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using two jam nuts or a stud driver to avoid damaging threads during insertion into a tapped hole. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize and lock out any electrical panel or powered equipment before fastening hardware in proximity to live components, per applicable NEC or local code requirements. Do not over-torque; tighten to the fastener specification for the mating material to avoid thread stripping.
