Value Collection STDK-03 Fully Threaded Stud 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION STDK-03 is a fully threaded stud fastener designed for general mechanical and structural assembly applications. It features a 5/16-18 unified coarse thread and measures 1-1/2 inches in overall length. Constructed from carbon steel with a grade 3.6 material rating, this stud carries a black oxide coating that provides a base level of corrosion resistance. Fully threaded studs are used where a bolt head would create clearance problems or where a component must be clamped from both ends using nuts. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians rely on this type of fastener across a wide range of mechanical installations.

This stud is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture brackets, and similar trade applications where a 5/16-18 threaded connection is specified. The uncoated plain finish with black oxide treatment makes it appropriate for interior or protected installations where exposure to standing moisture is limited. The compact 1-1/2 inch length fits tight-clearance fastening points common in equipment panels and junction brackets.

Key Features

• Fully threaded along the entire 1-1/2 inch length for maximum engagement flexibility
• 5/16-18 unified coarse thread for broad nut and insert compatibility
• Carbon steel construction with grade 3.6 material rating
• Black oxide coating applied to resist surface oxidation
• Uncoated plain finish suitable for interior mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fully threaded stud for use in any application requiring a 5/16-18 unified coarse thread fastener with a 1-1/2 inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the stud into a tapped hole or using two nuts in a jam-nut configuration. Always verify thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the assembly specification before torquing mating nuts. Use appropriate thread gauges to confirm hole thread condition before installation. For structural or pressure-boundary applications, consult applicable codes such as ASME or applicable mechanical codes for minimum engagement and fastener grade requirements.
