Value Collection B8MS050C700-D Fully Threaded Stud 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B8MS050C700-D is a fully threaded stud machined from stainless steel to material grade B8 specifications. It carries a 1/2-13 UNC thread form with a Class 2A thread fit, providing standard tolerance and clearance suitable for most general fastening applications. The overall length is 7 inches, and the stud is uncoated, leaving the base stainless steel surface exposed for corrosion resistance without any added plating or treatment. Fully threaded along its entire 7-inch length, it accepts a nut or threaded insert at either end, making it useful wherever a through-bolt or double-nut configuration is needed. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance mechanics commonly install studs of this type in mechanical and piping assemblies.

This stud is suited for light industrial, mechanical, and trade service applications where a corrosion-resistant fastener is required. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for damp or mildly corrosive environments such as mechanical rooms, rooftop HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing equipment flanges, and pump or valve assemblies. The 1/2-13 thread size is a common inch-series coarse thread, compatible with standard 1/2-13 hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts available through most fastener and trade supply sources.

Key Features

• Fully threaded 7-inch length allows double-nut mounting or through-bolt configurations without repositioning
• 1/2-13 UNC coarse thread form is a widely stocked, standard inch-series size
• Class 2A thread fit provides standard clearance tolerance suitable for general mechanical assembly
• Stainless steel material grade B8 offers corrosion resistance in damp or mildly aggressive environments
• Uncoated finish retains the natural stainless surface with no risk of coating delamination under torque

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 fully threaded stud for use with any 1/2-13 UNC compatible nuts, threaded inserts, or flanged fastener hardware in general mechanical and trade service assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed mechanic, pipefitter, plumber, or HVAC technician using standard hand tools and a torque wrench appropriate to the joint specification. De-energize or depressurize any system before removing or replacing fasteners in pressurized or live electrical enclosures. Apply anti-seize compound sparingly when mating stainless steel threads to dissimilar metals to prevent galling. Follow the applicable mechanical code or equipment manufacturer torque requirements for the specific joint being assembled.
