Value Collection STDK-05 Fully Threaded Stud 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION STDK-05 is a fully threaded stud with a 5/16-18 UNC thread profile and an overall length of 2.5 inches. Fully threaded studs provide continuous thread engagement along the entire shank, making them well-suited for fastening applications that require threading into a tapped hole on one end and securing a nut on the other. This stud is machined from carbon steel to material grade 3.6 and carries a plain finish with a black oxide coating that provides a baseline level of rust resistance. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades use fully threaded studs when permanent or semi-permanent fastening points are needed in panels, brackets, or equipment frames.

This stud is appropriate for light-to-medium duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial trade applications. Common scenarios include mounting brackets, securing enclosure components, and anchoring equipment panels where a continuous thread is preferred over a partially threaded bolt. The 5/16-18 thread size is widely encountered in trade hardware and pairs with standard 5/16-18 hex nuts, flange nuts, and threaded inserts available through most supply channels.

Key Features

• Fully threaded shank allows engagement along the entire 2.5-inch length
• 5/16-18 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard trade fastener hardware
• Carbon steel construction rated to material grade 3.6
• Black oxide coating on plain finish provides basic corrosion resistance
• Compact 2.5-inch overall length suits close-clearance mounting applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fully threaded stud for use with 5/16-18 UNC threaded hardware including hex nuts, coupling nuts, and tapped holes in compatible equipment and structural components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the stud into a pre-tapped hole or coupling nut using appropriate hand tools such as a stud installer or two-nut method. Ensure the receiving threaded hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening studs in or near electrical enclosures. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes for fastener torque and material requirements relevant to your specific application.
