Value Collection BD32423 Unequal Double Threaded Stud

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD32423 is an unequal double threaded stud designed for fastening applications that require two different thread specifications on a single fastener. The stud features a 3/8-16 short-end thread and a 3/8-24 long-end thread, making it suitable for joining components with mismatched thread pitches. Machined from Grade 5 steel with an uncoated finish, it measures 1-1/2 inches overall length with a 1/2-inch short thread, a 3/4-inch long thread, and a 1/4-inch unthreaded shank in between. These studs are sold in a package quantity of 25.

Unequal double threaded studs are commonly used in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial assembly work where a fixed fastening point is needed between two separate components or panels. The dual thread specification allows one end to anchor into a tapped hole while the opposite end accepts a nut or threaded fitting of a different pitch. This makes them well-suited for OEM assembly, equipment repair, and field service installations across residential and light commercial applications.

Key Features

• Unequal thread design: 3/8-16 on the short end, 3/8-24 on the long end
• Grade 5 steel construction for reliable tensile strength in mechanical assemblies
• 1/4-inch unthreaded shank separates the two thread zones
• Uncoated finish suitable for applications where coating is applied post-installation or not required
• Packaged in quantities of 25 for shop stock and field service kits

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose unequal double threaded stud for mechanical and industrial fastening applications requiring 3/8-16 and 3/8-24 thread engagement on a single fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools compatible with 3/8-inch fasteners. Ensure the receiving tapped holes are clean and properly threaded before installation to avoid cross-threading. Do not over-torque the stud during installation, as the Grade 5 steel rating defines the upper limit of safe clamping force for this fastener class.
