Value Collection BD32426 Unequal Double Threaded Stud 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD32426 is an unequal double threaded stud made from Grade 5 steel with an uncoated finish. It measures 2-1/4 inches in overall length and features two distinct thread specifications on each end: a 3/8-16 thread on the short end and a 3/8-24 thread on the long end. The short thread length is 1/2 inch, the long thread length is 1-1/4 inches, and an unthreaded shank of 1/2 inch separates the two threaded sections. These studs are installed by mechanics, pipefitters, millwrights, and maintenance technicians in applications that require connecting components with differing thread pitches on a single fastener.

Unequal double threaded studs are commonly used in mechanical assemblies, industrial equipment, and trade installations where one end threads into a fixed component such as a casting or housing, and the other end accepts a nut for clamping or securing a mating part. The combination of a coarse-pitch thread (3/8-16 UNC) and a fine-pitch thread (3/8-24 UNF) on a single fastener makes this stud well suited for situations where different thread standards must interface in the same assembly. This listing is sold in a pack of 25 units.

Key Features

• Unequal thread configuration: 3/8-16 UNC short end and 3/8-24 UNF long end on a single stud
• Grade 5 steel construction for reliable tensile strength in mechanical assemblies
• Uncoated finish suitable for use as-is or with field-applied coatings or thread compounds
• 1/2 inch unthreaded shank separates the two threaded zones, providing a defined transition between thread specifications
• 2-1/4 inch overall length accommodates standard clamping depth requirements
• Sold in packs of 25 for efficient stocking and repetitive assembly work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8-inch diameter unequal double threaded stud with UNC and UNF thread engagement on opposing ends.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician familiar with threaded fastener assembly practices. Verify that mating thread specifications in the receiving component match the appropriate stud end before installation. Apply thread-locking compound or anti-seize as required by the assembly specification. Use calibrated torque tools and follow the equipment manufacturer torque requirements for Grade 5 fasteners of this diameter.
