Value Collection AB7STFE0500C300 Fully Threaded Stud

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION AB7STFE0500C300 is a fully threaded stud with a 1/2-13 UNC thread and an overall length of 3 inches. The stud is threaded its entire length, eliminating any unthreaded shank section and providing maximum engagement flexibility along the full 3 inches. Manufactured from Grade B7 alloy steel with an uncoated plain finish, it meets the mechanical requirements for high-strength fastener applications. Thread fit is Class 2A, the standard external thread tolerance class for general-purpose bolting. Right-hand thread direction. This fastener is installed by millwrights, pipefitters, maintenance mechanics, and structural tradespeople wherever a double-nut or tapped-hole stud connection is required.

Fully threaded studs in the 1/2-13 size are commonly used in flanged pipe connections, structural assemblies, equipment mounting, and industrial machinery maintenance. The Grade B7 material designation indicates alloy steel heat-treated to meet ASTM A193 B7 mechanical minimums, making this stud appropriate for elevated-temperature and high-load bolting situations such as pressure vessel flanges, pump housings, and heavy equipment frames. The uncoated finish is suitable for applications where a field-applied coating or lubricant will be used, or where bare steel is acceptable for the service environment.

Key Features

• Fully threaded 3-inch length with no unthreaded shank — maximum engagement along entire body
• 1/2-13 UNC thread form, Class 2A external fit for standard nut compatibility
• Grade B7 alloy steel construction for high-strength and elevated-temperature service
• Right-hand thread direction
• Uncoated plain finish suitable for field coating or lubrication

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 fully threaded stud for use with any 1/2-13 UNC-threaded nut or tapped hole requiring a Grade B7 alloy steel fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical, pipefitting, or maintenance trades using standard 1/2-inch drive or open-end tooling. Torque to values specified by the joint designer or applicable code for the material grade and application. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound as required by the service environment. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut meets Class 2B internal thread tolerance for proper fit.
