Value Collection 45828 Fully Threaded Stud 5/16-18 2in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 45828 is a fully threaded stud with a 5/16-18 Unified National Coarse thread form and an overall length of 2 inches. Fully threaded studs run threads along their entire shaft, providing consistent engagement depth and making them well suited for through-hole fastening, double-nut installations, and stud-mount assemblies. This stud is manufactured from carbon steel at material grade 3.6 and finished with a zinc plating that provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for general-use environments. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals encounter this hardware type regularly in equipment panels, pipe hangers, and mechanical assemblies.

This stud is applicable across a broad range of light-duty industrial, commercial, and residential trade applications. Common uses include threaded rod hangers, terminal block mounting, junction box assemblies, and equipment frame fastening wherever a 5/16-18 thread pattern is specified. The zinc finish makes it suitable for dry and mildly corrosive indoor environments. It is sold individually but subject to a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces, making it practical for stocking in trade supply bins or completing multi-point installations.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC thread runs the full 2-inch length for maximum engagement flexibility
• Carbon steel construction at material grade 3.6 provides reliable tensile strength for general fastening loads
• Zinc plating delivers corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected outdoor environments
• Fully threaded design compatible with standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts
• Compact 2-inch overall length suits space-constrained mounting situations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose fully threaded stud compatible with any standard 5/16-18 UNC threaded fastener application requiring a 2-inch length carbon steel stud.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with standard hex wrenches and nut drivers; use a double-nut or stud-driver bit to drive the stud into a tapped hole without damaging threads. Always verify that the receiving material thread specification matches 5/16-18 UNC before installation. Avoid overtightening, which can strip threads in softer base materials such as aluminum or plastic. Follow applicable mechanical and building codes for fastener selection and load rating in structural or pressure-bearing applications.
