Why Choose Zinc Plated Threaded Studs?
Our zinc plated threaded studs at AlbanyCountyFasteners.com, also known as zinc plated studs, are fully threaded rods without heads, designed for double-nut fastening or embedding into materials for secure, custom-length connections. Made from Grade A307 low carbon steel with a zinc plating, these studs offer moderate corrosion resistance, ideal for indoor or sheltered environments. The zinc coating provides a sacrificial layer to protect against rust while maintaining precise thread tolerances for reliable fastening. Available in imperial sizes like 1/4"-20, 5/16"-18, and 3/8"-16, they meet ASTM A307, ASTM F1941, IFI tolerances, REACH, and RoHS standards. Perfect for manufacturing, plumbing, and construction projects requiring cost-effective, dependable fastening with frequent assembly or disassembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Zinc plated threaded studs are fully threaded rods without heads, made from low carbon steel with a zinc coating, used for double-nut fastening or embedding into materials, offering moderate corrosion resistance for indoor applications.
How do zinc plated threaded studs differ from zinc plated threaded rods?Zinc plated threaded studs are pre-cut with specific thread configurations, often for permanent or semi-permanent installations, while threaded rods are continuous and cut to size for adjustable fastening.
Are zinc plated threaded studs suitable for outdoor use?They provide moderate corrosion resistance for sheltered outdoor settings, but for marine or harsh environments, consider stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized studs for superior durability.
How do I install zinc plated threaded studs?Thread nuts onto both ends for double-nut fastening, tightening them against each other, or embed the stud into a tapped hole or material and secure with a nut. Use a torque wrench to avoid overtightening.
How do I choose the right size zinc plated threaded stud?Select based on thread size, such as 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16, and length needed for your application. Ensure the thread pitch matches the nut or material. Check sizing charts or consult our team for guidance.
