Value Collection B8MSTFE0500C350 Threaded Stud 1/2-13

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B8MSTFE0500C350 is a fully threaded stud manufactured from 316 stainless steel to ASTM B8M standards. It features a 1/2-13 UNC thread with a Class 2A thread fit and a 3.5 inch overall length that is threaded end to end. The right-hand thread direction and uncoated plain finish make it ready for direct installation. This stud is suited for structural fastening, piping support, and equipment assembly in corrosive or high-moisture environments where stainless steel is required. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.

This fully threaded stud is used in industrial, commercial, and marine applications where 316 stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. It is appropriate for flanged connections, anchor bolt assemblies, and through-bolt applications in piping, HVAC equipment mounting, and structural support work. The B8M designation indicates compliance with ASTM standards for stainless steel bolting, commonly required on pressure vessels and piping systems governed by ASME codes.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Fully threaded 3.5 inch length allows flexible engagement depth on both ends
• 1/2-13 UNC thread at Class 2A fit for standard tolerance fastening
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard nuts and couplings
• ASTM B8M compliant for use in pressure piping and industrial bolting applications
• Uncoated finish suitable for direct use or pairing with anti-seize compounds

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1/2-13 UNC hex nuts, coupling nuts, and flanged hardware in 316 stainless steel or compatible alloys. Suitable for ASME B16.5 flange bolting and general industrial fastening where B8M stainless bolting material is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pipefitters, plumbers, or mechanical contractors following applicable ASME and OSHA guidelines. Depressurize and de-energize any system before replacing fasteners in piping or equipment assemblies. Apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when threading into dissimilar metals to prevent galling of the stainless steel threads. Torque to the value specified by the joint or flange design engineer rather than a generic fastener table.
