Value Collection 45758 Fully Threaded Stud 5/16-18 1in Oal

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 45758 is a fully threaded stud with a 5/16-18 unified coarse thread form and an overall length of 1 inch. Fully threaded studs carry thread from end to end, providing secure fastening without a plain shank section. This stud is machined from 18-8 stainless steel, which delivers corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments. The uncoated finish leaves the base alloy exposed for maximum compatibility with standard hardware. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors regularly use fully threaded studs for flange connections, machinery mounting, and bracket assemblies where through-bolting is required.

This stud is suited for light-duty to medium-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial mechanical systems. The 5/16-18 coarse thread engages standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts commonly found in HVAC equipment frames, pipe support hardware, electrical enclosure mounting, and plumbing fixture assemblies. The 1-inch overall length fits compact fastening situations where a standard bolt head would interfere with clearance or where double-nut locking is preferred.

Key Features

• Fully threaded end to end — no plain shank, maximum thread engagement across the full 1-inch length
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides resistance to rust and oxidation in damp or corrosive service environments
• 5/16-18 unified coarse thread is one of the most common thread forms in mechanical and HVAC trade hardware
• Uncoated plain finish — no plating to flake, chip, or interfere with thread gauging
• Compact 1-inch OAL suits tight clearance mounting locations in equipment cabinets and pipe supports

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 fully threaded stud for use with any hex nut, coupling nut, or threaded insert conforming to ASME B1.1 unified coarse thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the stud into a tapped hole or securing it between two nuts using the double-nut method. Always verify the mating thread form and class of fit before installation to avoid cross-threading. In stainless-to-stainless assemblies, apply an anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Torque to the fastener manufacturer or equipment OEM specification for the given thread size and material grade.
