Value Collection STDK-13 Fully Threaded Stud 1/4-20 4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION STDK-13 is a fully threaded stud with a 1/4-20 thread size and an overall length of 4 inches. Fully threaded studs provide continuous thread engagement along the entire shaft, allowing for double-nut locking or through-bolt applications where standard bolts cannot reach. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a plain finish, the STDK-13 offers reliable corrosion resistance in wet, humid, or mildly corrosive environments. This type of hardware is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians when securing equipment, mounting panels, or assembling framework where consistent clamping force is required along the full stud length.

The STDK-13 is suited for light-to-medium duty fastening applications in mechanical rooms, equipment enclosures, and utility installations. Its 1/4-20 UNC thread pattern is a widely used coarse-thread standard, compatible with standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, and threaded inserts found in most commercial and residential trade work. The plain finish keeps the part electrically neutral and ready for field modification such as cutting to length or threading additional hardware.

Key Features

• Fully threaded design allows full-length nut engagement or custom cut-to-length use on the job
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in damp or humid environments
• 1/4-20 UNC coarse thread is a universal standard compatible with widely available hardware
• Plain finish with no coating simplifies field cutting, grinding, or modification
• 4-inch overall length suits a range of standoff and through-bolt applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard fully threaded fastener compatible with any 1/4-20 UNC threaded hardware including hex nuts, coupling nuts, wing nuts, and threaded inserts used in general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tooling beyond standard wrenches or nut drivers sized for 1/4-inch hardware. Power down or de-energize any equipment before inserting or tightening fasteners on electrical panels or live assemblies. Thread engagement on both ends should be sufficient to fully seat any mating nut. Stainless fasteners can be susceptible to galling under high torque — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when assembling stainless nut-and-stud combinations.
