Value Collection B8MSTFE0500C450 Fully Threaded Stud

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B8MSTFE0500C450 is a fully threaded stud manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated plain finish. It carries a 1/2-13 UNC thread size with a Thread Fit Class 2A and an overall length of 4.5 inches, threaded the full length in a right-hand direction. This stud meets ASTM B8M standards, making it suitable for demanding fastening applications where corrosion resistance and material strength are priorities. It is installed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and general industrial tradespeople working on structural or process equipment assemblies.

This fully threaded stud is suited for industrial, marine, chemical processing, and other environments where stainless steel fasteners are required due to exposure to moisture, corrosive chemicals, or sanitary service conditions. The Grade 316 stainless construction provides elevated resistance to chloride environments compared to standard 304-grade stainless fasteners. The full-thread design allows for flexible engagement depth on both ends, accommodating a wide range of clamping and mounting configurations.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• 1/2-13 UNC right-hand thread with Thread Fit Class 2A for consistent, reliable engagement
• Fully threaded along the entire 4.5-inch overall length for maximum installation flexibility
• Uncoated plain finish — no coating to interfere with dimensional tolerances or galling treatments
• Meets ASTM B8M standards for stainless steel fasteners
• UNSPSC Code 31161618 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 fully threaded stud for use in any application requiring a Grade 316 stainless steel ASTM B8M-compliant fastener with a 4.5-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson using the appropriate wrenches or stud installation sockets sized for 1/2-13 thread. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing fasteners on live assemblies. Apply an anti-seize compound compatible with stainless steel where galling is a concern, as 316 stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling under high torque without lubrication. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant industry standards for the joint being assembled.
