Value Collection B8MSTFE0500C225 Fully Threaded Stud

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B8MSTFE0500C225 is a fully threaded stud in 1/2-13 UNC thread, with an overall length of 2.25 inches. Made from 316 stainless steel to ASTM B8M standards, this stud is designed for applications where corrosion resistance and mechanical strength are critical. The uncoated finish and Class 2A thread fit make it compatible with standard 1/2-13 nuts and tapped holes. It is sold individually and is suited for use in industrial, plumbing, and mechanical fastening applications where stainless steel hardware is specified.

This fully threaded stud is commonly used in commercial and industrial installations requiring corrosion-resistant fastening, including marine, chemical processing, and wet-environment plumbing assemblies. The 316 stainless steel material grade provides strong resistance to chloride environments and elevated-temperature service, making it a practical choice where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. Installation professionals working in plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical systems frequently specify 316 stainless hardware for flanged connections and equipment mounting in corrosive service conditions.

Key Features

• Full-thread engagement across the entire 2.25-inch length for maximum clamping flexibility
• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in chloride and wet environments
• Right-hand thread direction, 1/2-13 UNC, Class 2A fit for standard nut compatibility
• Meets ASTM B8M standard for stainless steel fasteners
• Uncoated plain finish — no coating to crack, flake, or interfere with torque values

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fastener compatible with standard 1/2-13 UNC tapped holes and hex nuts in industrial, plumbing, and mechanical assemblies requiring 316 stainless steel hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors following applicable codes such as the IPC or ASME B31 piping standards. Power down and depressurize any system before replacing or installing fasteners in pressurized assemblies. Use calibrated torque equipment and apply appropriate anti-seize compound when threading stainless into stainless to prevent galling. Do not mix hardware grades within the same fastener group.
