Threaded Plug:

- Are typically plain finish but can be supplied in zinc or galvanized. Like threaded plugs, the before swage diameter is equal to the nominal thread size. It’s a good, all-around, heavy duty stud.
Carbon Steel Stud:
- Have an after swage diameter equal to the nominal thread size. Because they have a greater wall thickness in the swaging area, they can sometimes have an increased holding strength on strand construction such as 1×19. These threaded studs are well suited for some of the toughest applications.
