Threaded studs

Threaded studs are the first piece of hardware most project managers
reach for when they are working on a high-tension structure. There are
a variety of threaded studs to choose from and selecting the right one is
key in doing the job well.

Common Types of Threaded Studs:

Continuous Thread Studs: Threaded studs designed to be continuous

are engineered with the thread running from one end to other. These
are a great choice for flange bolting when a two-nut applications are
required.

Tap-end Studs: This type of threaded stud comes with a short thread
and a longer thread on either end of the stud. The shorter threaded
end is called the tap. The tap end has a chamfered edge that is formed
in the shape of a cone and it is this side that is meant to be screwed
into a tapped hole. The longer thread is designed to secure the stud
into a structure with an appropriately sized nut. The end with the
threaded nut-side may come with either a chamfered end or a round
point, depending on the manufacturer.

Double-end Studs: This stud is manufactured with equal-length threads

on either side and can accommodate nuts. Both sides of the stud have
chamfered points, unless a specific request is made, in which case
round points may be added at the manufacturer’s discretion.
When looking for threaded studs, it is important to know the precise
length you need, since the varying lengths in the thread and overall
fastener is critical to a secure fit. Check out the listed inventory at
