Value Collection 89693 Fully Threaded Stud 3/8-16 4 in Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 89693 is a fully threaded stud machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a plain, uncoated finish. It features a 3/8-16 unified coarse thread and measures 4 inches in overall length. Because the stud is threaded its full length, it offers maximum engagement flexibility — both ends can accept a nut, insert into a tapped hole, or be used in double-nut applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance in damp or chemically active environments. This fastener suits mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC assembly work wherever a standard hex bolt head would interfere with the joint design.

Fully threaded studs in 3/8-16 are commonly used in residential and light commercial mechanical installations, equipment mounting, flange assemblies, pipe support hangers, and equipment base plates. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors use studs like this when through-bolting panels or securing components where bolt access from one side is not practical. The uncoated stainless finish is well suited to indoor utility areas, mechanical rooms, and outdoor environments where mild corrosion resistance is required.

Key Features

• Fully threaded from end to end for maximum engagement flexibility
• 3/8-16 unified coarse thread for broad hardware compatibility
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Plain, uncoated finish — no plating to flake or degrade
• 4-inch overall length suits a wide range of fastening depths

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose fully threaded stud for use with standard 3/8-16 nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes in mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or mechanical contractor using standard hand tools and appropriate torque wrenches. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 alloy is susceptible to galling under excessive rotational force — apply an anti-seize compound when required. Follow applicable mechanical codes for fastener selection in structural or pressure-bearing applications.
