Product Description
5/16" Self-Colour Steel Manifold Studs with Brass Nuts
5/16" self-colour steel manifold studs supplied with matching brass nuts. Available with UNC, UNF or combination UNC/UNF threads for exhaust manifolds, inlet manifolds, classic vehicles, motorcycles and vintage machinery.
The combination studs have a 5/16" UNC coarse thread at one end and a 5/16" UNF fine thread at the other. Single-thread versions are also available with UNC or UNF threads at both ends.

Thread Standards
- 5/16"-18 UNC thread reference: ASME B1.1 and BS 1580-1:2007
- 5/16"-24 UNF thread reference: ASME B1.1 and BS 1580-1:2007
BS 2693-1:1956 is the current British Standard covering general-purpose imperial screwed studs with UNC and UNF threads. However, this manifold-specific range includes mixed UNC/UNF stud ends and is not stated as certified to BS 2693-1. The supplied dimensions and product options should therefore govern selection.
Applications
- Exhaust and inlet manifolds
- Classic and vintage vehicles
- Motorcycle restoration
- Automotive repair and fabrication
- Vintage engines and machinery
- General imperial-thread repairs
Installation Information
UNC and UNF threads have different pitches and must not be interchanged. Confirm the thread in the manifold or cylinder head and the required nut-end thread before selecting a stud.
Self-colour steel has no protective plated finish and may require suitable corrosion protection for the application. Follow the engine or equipment manufacturer's tightening procedure and torque recommendations.
