Value Collection 55160 Fully Threaded Stud 5/16-18 X 3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 55160 is a fully threaded stud with a 5/16-18 UNC thread form and an overall length of 0.75 inches. Fully threaded studs carry threads along the entire shank, allowing fastening from either end or from any point along the shaft. This stud is manufactured from carbon steel with an uncoated finish and a material grade of 3.6, indicating a low-carbon, general-purpose fastener. A black oxide coating is applied to provide baseline rust resistance. It is a standard industrial fastener used across mechanical assembly, HVAC equipment fabrication, plumbing fixture mounting, and electrical enclosure work by trade professionals and assembly technicians.

This fully threaded stud is suited for light-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial mechanical systems. Its 5/16-18 thread size is a widely used coarse-thread specification compatible with standard nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts of the same designation. The compact 0.75-inch overall length makes it appropriate for thin-panel mounting, bracket attachment, and other close-tolerance assembly applications where stud projection must be minimized. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 25 units per order.

Key Features

• Fully threaded along entire 0.75-inch shank for maximum fastening flexibility
• 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard hardware
• Carbon steel construction at material grade 3.6 for general-purpose mechanical use
• Black oxide coating applied to reduce surface oxidation and rust formation
• Uncoated exterior finish suitable for applications where additional plating is not required
• Compact overall length of 0.75 inches for tight-clearance or thin-panel installations

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 5/16-18 UNC nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts in general mechanical and trade assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers, millwrights, or trade technicians using a standard 5/16-inch hex driver, stud installer, or locking-nut method. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten into soft base materials such as aluminum or thin sheet steel, as this stud grade is intended for light-to-medium duty loads. Torque to the specification required by the assembly drawing or applicable mechanical standard for the application.
