Value Collection B8MS037C450 Threaded Stud 3/8-16 4.5in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B8MS037C450 is a fully threaded stud with a 3/8-16 unified coarse thread form and an overall length of 4.5 inches. Manufactured from stainless steel to material grade B8M, this stud carries a Class 2A external thread fit, indicating a standard clearance tolerance appropriate for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. The uncoated finish preserves the natural corrosion resistance of the stainless steel base material. Fully threaded studs are used by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and general tradespeople when a through-bolt or double-nut fastening arrangement is required and a standard cap screw is not suitable.

This stud is suited for use in industrial, mechanical, and process-equipment assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. Common install scenarios include pipe flange connections, equipment mounting, and structural bracketing in wet or corrosive environments. The 3/8-16 thread size is a standard inch-series fastener dimension found across a wide range of trade and industrial hardware applications. Sold individually as a single piece.

Key Features

• Fully threaded along the entire 4.5-inch length for maximum engagement flexibility
• 3/8-16 unified coarse thread for broad hardware compatibility
• Stainless steel construction at material grade B8M for corrosion resistance
• Class 2A thread fit provides standard external thread tolerance for reliable mating
• Uncoated finish — no plating or coating to flake, chip, or interfere with thread gauging
• Lightweight at 0.12 pounds per piece

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 fully threaded stud for use with any mating 3/8-16 nut or tapped component accepting a Class 2A external thread. Verify thread engagement depth and material compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, or pipefitters using standard open-end, box, or socket wrenches sized for the mating nut. Always de-energize and depressurize the assembly before replacing or installing fasteners in live systems. Thread both mating nuts or components to full engagement depth and verify that the stainless steel stud material is compatible with adjacent metals to avoid galvanic corrosion in wet environments. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific joint being assembled.
