Nelson’s B4L and B4P studs have a 90° bend and are used for exposed hangars and steps. They are also embedded as anchors or supports for positioning reinforcing bars.

Nelson NBL studs are designed to be welded to heavy base materials and are commonly used as locator pins, axles, pivot points, spacers, and stops. In the power generation market, they are used to anchor refractory to water walls and to facilitate heat transfer in coal burning furnaces. In forging applications, NBL studs are used as the tong hold on the ends of billets.

NJL unthreaded studs have a reduced weld base diameter, to produce a smaller weld flash diameter. The smaller weld flash allows the use of smaller clearance holes. The strength of the assembly is determined by the area of the reduced weld base rather than the thread area.
