Stud Bolts Product Range
A stud bolt is a threaded rod, usually without a head, that is tightened with nuts at one or both ends. Stud bolts are the standard fastener for flanged pipe joints, pressure equipment and machinery where a headed bolt cannot be used or a consistent clamp load is required.

Buyer's guide
How to choose the right stud bolt
Stud bolts are specified by diameter, thread pitch, overall length, thread form at each end, material grade and nut requirement. For flange work, the flange standard and pressure class decide the stud size and length.
Common stud configurations
- Fully threaded stud – thread along the whole length, the usual choice for flanges with a nut at each end.
- Stud bolt with nuts – supplied as a ready-to-install set.
- Tap-end and double-end studs – a short thread at one end screws into a tapped hole and the other end takes a nut.
- U bolts – bent studs that clamp pipes, tubes and round sections to a support.
The same range page also lists square head bolts, the SS square head bolt and the mild steel Allen bolt for buyers who need headed threaded fasteners alongside studs.
Selecting length for a flange joint
Stud length must cover both flange thicknesses, the gasket, both nuts and enough thread projection beyond each nut. Use the flange standard's bolting tables, and allow for washers if they will be used. Our stud bolt flange RFQ checklist lists the information needed.
Material choice
Mild steel suits general structural and machinery joints. Stainless steel is used where corrosion resistance matters. For pressure and temperature service, specify the exact material grade and the documents you need with the enquiry.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do studs come with nuts?
Yes, we can supply studs with matched nuts as a set, or studs only — whatever your order needs.
What is a reduced-shank stud used for?
The reduced shank lets the stud stretch slightly under tension, giving more consistent bolt load on critical flanged joints.
Which stud type suits flange joints?
Fully threaded and double-end studs are the usual choice for flanges. Share the flange rating and we'll recommend the correct length and grade.
Can you make U-studs for pipe work?
Yes, U-studs (U-bolts) are part of our standard range and can be made to your pipe diameter.
