Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a threaded rod and a stud?
A threaded rod is threaded along its full length and can be cut to any size. A stud is threaded only on each end (or one end), leaving a plain, unthreaded shank in the middle — typically used where a flange, gasket, or bearing surface needs a smooth section to clamp against.
Should I use a threaded rod or a stud for a flange joint?
Use a partially threaded stud when the joint has a gasket or bearing surface that needs a smooth, unthreaded section to clamp against — this is the standard choice for pipe flanges and pressure vessels. A full-length threaded rod works where you need to cut custom lengths on site or thread the full span, such as anchoring or all-thread rod applications.
