Value Collection 89696 Fully Threaded Stud 3/8-16 2in Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 89696 is a fully threaded stud with a 3/8-16 unified coarse thread and a 2-inch overall length. Fully threaded along the entire shaft, this stud provides consistent thread engagement from end to end, making it suitable for through-hole fastening applications where a nut is used on both sides or where maximum adjustability is needed. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated plain finish, it offers solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. Trade professionals in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service will find this stud useful for mounting brackets, flanges, and equipment panels.

This fully threaded stud is appropriate for light commercial and residential installations where a 3/8-16 threaded fastener is required. Typical applications include securing equipment housings, pipe supports, conduit strut assemblies, and mechanical mounting points. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode, such as rooftop HVAC installations, wet mechanical rooms, pool equipment enclosures, and coastal installations. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by any licensed trade technician or qualified mechanic using standard 3/8-inch drive or open-end tooling. Power down or de-energize all equipment before fastening near live electrical components. Apply thread-locking compound or anti-seize as required by the application and local code. Do not over-torque stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 material is susceptible to galling — use appropriate lubrication on the threads during assembly.
