Value Collection 45888 Fully Threaded Stud 5/16-18 4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 45888 is a fully threaded stud designed for general fastening applications across mechanical, industrial, and construction trades. Featuring a 5/16-18 thread size and an overall length of 4 inches, this stud is manufactured from carbon steel with a material grade of 3.6 and includes a black oxide coating to help resist rust. Fully threaded along its entire length, it provides consistent thread engagement for nuts, inserts, or tapped holes from end to end. It is a standard choice for fabricators, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople who need reliable, off-the-shelf fastener stock without special configuration.

This stud is suited for light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, pipe support structures, and general trade installations where a 5/16-18 threaded fastener is required. Its uncoated carbon steel construction with black oxide treatment makes it appropriate for dry or protected indoor environments. The fully threaded design eliminates the need to align a shoulder or shank, simplifying installation in applications where full thread engagement is preferred throughout the entire bolt length.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 thread size for compatibility with standard nuts and tapped holes
• 4 inches overall length provides ample thread engagement for most fastening scenarios
• Fully threaded from end to end for maximum versatility in positioning
• Carbon steel construction at material grade 3.6 for reliable structural performance
• Black oxide coating applied to help prevent rust in dry or protected environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fully threaded stud for use with any 5/16-18 compatible nut, coupling, or tapped component in general mechanical and industrial fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, or general tradespeople using standard hand or power tools. Always ensure the mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Thread a nut onto both ends or engage a tapped hole as required by the assembly design. Do not over-torque, as carbon steel grade 3.6 fasteners are not rated for high-strength structural applications.
