Automotive Studs 5/16 x 1-1/2 Zinc by Hard-to-Find Fastener Rivet

Description

Product Overview

The Hard-to-Find Fastener 014973360894 automotive stud is engineered for demanding fastening applications where strength, durability, and corrosion resistance are essential. Each stud measures 5/16 inch in diameter and 1-1/2 inches in length, providing a substantial engagement length for a secure, fully threaded connection. Constructed from high‑grade alloy steel, the core material offers a Rockwell B hardness of B70, ensuring the stud can withstand high impact loads without deformation. A zinc exterior finish adds a protective barrier against moisture, road salts, and harsh environmental conditions, extending the service life of the fastener in both automotive and industrial settings.

These double‑end rivet studs feature a right‑hand thread style with a coarse 18‑TPI (threads per inch) profile, delivering a maximum shear strength of 30,000 psi. The fully threaded design allows for flexible installation options, whether the stud is used as a permanent anchor or a removable fastener. The flat head style provides a low‑profile finish that sits flush against mating surfaces, reducing the risk of snagging or interference with moving components. With a cylindrical shape and a cutting diameter of 0.31 inches, the stud offers precise fitment for standard automotive holes and brackets.

Usage

These rivet studs are ideally suited for a wide range of automotive repair tasks, including chassis reinforcement, suspension component mounting, brake system brackets, and engine bay accessories. Their robust shear capacity makes them reliable for securing heavy‑duty brackets that support suspension arms, shock absorbers, and steering linkages. In addition to automotive applications, the studs excel in industrial environments where machinery frames, conveyor systems, and equipment housings require strong, corrosion‑resistant fasteners.

Installation is straightforward for technicians familiar with standard stud insertion tools. The fully threaded length allows the stud to be driven into pre‑drilled holes using a manual or pneumatic stud driver, after which a nut is tightened to the desired torque. The zinc coating ensures that the fastener will not seize or gall during installation, even when used with lubricants or anti‑seize compounds. Because the studs are supplied in packs of ten, maintenance crews can keep a ready supply on hand for routine service intervals, emergency repairs, or batch assembly processes.

When used in marine or off‑road applications, the zinc finish provides an extra layer of protection against salt spray and mud, reducing the likelihood of rust formation. The alloy steel core maintains its structural integrity under temperature fluctuations, making these studs reliable in both hot engine compartments and cold storage facilities.

FAQ

What is the recommended torque setting for these studs?

For a 5/16‑inch diameter stud with a zinc coating, a torque of 30–35 Nm (22–26 lb‑ft) is typically recommended. Always refer to the equipment manufacturer’s specifications for exact values.

Can these studs be used with a lock washer?

Yes, a lock washer can be added to the nut to enhance vibration resistance. The flat head style of the stud allows the washer to sit flush without protruding.

Are the studs compatible with stainless steel nuts?

Stainless steel nuts are compatible, but be aware that galvanic corrosion may occur if the assembly is exposed to moisture for extended periods. Using a compatible coating or applying anti‑corrosion compound can mitigate this risk.

How many studs are included in each package?

Each package contains ten individual studs, packaged in a protective polybag to prevent damage during shipping and handling.

Is there a warranty on these fasteners?

Hard-to-Find Fastener offers a limited one‑year warranty covering material defects and coating failures. The warranty does not cover misuse, improper installation, or damage caused by external forces.
