Single-End Stud

A single-end stud is a rod with a thread on one end and a plain shank on the other. It is used to join parts or to provide a threaded projection from a surface.

A single-end stud has a thread at one end and is fixed into a tapped hole or a through hole. The exposed threaded end takes a nut and often a washer. It is used where a bolt cannot be reached from both sides.

Zinc plating gives mild corrosion protection for indoor or dry use. Hot-dip galvanising gives a thicker coating for outdoor or damp conditions. PTFE coating lowers friction and can help with chemical resistance.

A single-end stud is often made in steel, stainless steel or brass. Stainless steel grades resist corrosion, while brass suits electrical and marine work. Steel grades can be coated for extra protection.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance or a mill test certificate for the material and finish. On receipt, check the thread for damage, the shank for straightness, and the coating for gaps. Confirm the thread size and length match your order.
