Value Collection CD560456 Threaded Stud 3/8-16 2-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CD560456 is an unequal double-ended threaded stud designed for mechanical fastening applications where two different thread engagement lengths are required on a single fastener. Made from grade 8 alloy steel with a yellow zinc dichromate finish, this stud provides high tensile strength and corrosion resistance suitable for demanding assembly and maintenance work. The overall length is 2.75 inches, with a long thread length of 1 inch and a short thread length of 0.75 inches, separated by an unthreaded shank section of 1 inch. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically install this type of fastener when anchoring components to tapped holes or joining structural members with different engagement requirements.

This threaded stud is suited for industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly applications where grade 8 strength fasteners are specified. The unequal thread length configuration allows one end to be permanently set into a tapped hole or fixture while the other end accepts a nut for clamping or securing a secondary component. It is commonly used in machinery, equipment mounting, and general mechanical assembly in both shop and field settings. The yellow zinc dichromate coating helps resist oxidation in moderately corrosive environments.

Key Features

• Unequal double-ended design with 1-inch long-end thread and 0.75-inch short-end thread
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high tensile and proof-load strength
• Yellow zinc dichromate finish provides corrosion and oxidation resistance
• 1-inch unthreaded shank provides a defined grip length between threaded sections
• 3/8-16 UNC thread size on both ends for standard nut and tapped-hole compatibility
• No flat — designed for installation using a stud driver or thread-locking method

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC unequal double threaded stud for use in any tapped hole or fixture accepting 3/8-16 thread engagement. Verify thread class and engagement depth requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Install using a stud driver or double-nut method to avoid damaging the threads during driving. Always ensure the tapped receiving hole is clean, properly threaded, and of adequate depth before seating the stud. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant fastener standards. De-energize and isolate any equipment before performing fastener replacement or assembly work on live machinery.
