Value Collection STDK-16 Threaded Stud 1/4-20 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION STDK-16 is a fully threaded stud fastener with a 1/4-20 thread size and an overall length of 1.25 inches. Constructed from carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish, this stud provides corrosion resistance suitable for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. The continuous threading along the full shank length allows engagement from either end, making it adaptable for a range of clamping and mounting configurations. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors commonly use fully threaded studs when assembling equipment brackets, panel mounts, or mechanical supports.

This stud is suited for light-duty to medium-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial installations. Typical applications include equipment mounting, conduit support, bracket assembly, and general mechanical connections where a through-bolt or double-nut configuration is needed. The zinc plating provides a degree of protection against surface oxidation in dry to mildly humid indoor environments. Material Grade 3.6 indicates a low-carbon steel composition appropriate for non-critical structural fastening.

Key Features

• Fully threaded shank allows double-nut or through-nut engagement along the entire length
• 1/4-20 UNC thread — a widely standardized size compatible with common nuts, inserts, and tapped holes
• Carbon steel construction with zinc-plated finish for surface corrosion resistance
• Overall length of 1.25 inches suits compact mounting and shallow-depth fastening applications
• Material Grade 3.6 carbon steel for general-purpose mechanical use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose fully threaded stud compatible with standard 1/4-20 UNC nuts, couplings, and tapped components used in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing support applications.

Installation Notes

Installation typically requires a standard hex nut driver, wrench, or stud-driving socket. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut meets the 1/4-20 UNC thread specification before installation. Avoid over-torquing, as Grade 3.6 carbon steel has lower tensile strength than higher-grade alloys. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when using threaded fasteners in structural or load-bearing assemblies.
