Why High-Quality Anchor Bolts Ensure Structural Stability

In construction, small components often make the biggest difference. Anchor bolts, though hidden beneath concrete or steel, are essential to the integrity and long-term stability of any structure.

They form the critical connection between a building and its foundation, transferring loads, resisting external forces, and helping the structure stay anchored — especially during high winds, seismic events, or other environmental stresses. When anchor bolts fail, the result can be structural shifting or even collapse.

That’s why selecting high-quality, precisely fabricated anchor bolts is so important. At Threadline, we manufacture anchor bolts that meet the strictest standards, helping your projects stay safe, secure, and compliant.

Here’s a breakdown of our most trusted anchor bolt types.

Double-Ended Studs

Double-ended studs feature threading on both ends, with a plain shank in the middle. They are widely used for structural steel connections, tensioning assemblies, and concrete embedment with exposed thread for future attachment.

  • Fully or partially threaded to suit your needs
  • Common in bridges, steel columns, and heavy equipment mounting
  • Installed with nuts and washers on each end for load transfer
  • Custom fabricated to length, diameter, and finish requirements

Bent Anchor Bolts

Our bent anchor bolts are designed for concrete embedment and customized for specific load conditions and configurations.

L-Bend Anchor Bolts

  • Bent at 90° for solid anchorage in concrete
  • Commonly used to anchor sill plates and base plates

Custom Bent Bolts

  • Fabricated to unique customer specs (e.g., 22° bends)
  • Ideal for specialized foundation applications

Eye Bolts

  • Round eye at one end (formed or welded) for attachment of chains, rods, or hooks
  • Used in both structural and rigging applications

Hook Bolts

  • Hooked end with thread on the opposite side
  • Provides a secure, easy-to-install anchor point

J-Bolt Anchors & Rounded Bolts

  • J-shaped anchor bolts for embedment in concrete
  • Frequently used in highway and bridge construction

Round or Square U-Bolts

  • U-shaped with threaded ends
  • Ideal for fastening pipes, conduit, or round materials to structural supports
  • Formed to fit around specific diameters of round piping
  • Used in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical applications

Headed Bolts

Threadline offers a full selection of headed bolts engineered for load-bearing, structural connections.

A325 Structural Bolts

  • Heavy hex bolts for steel-to-steel structural joints
  • Available with plain or galvanized finish and various strength grades

Tension Control Bolts

  • Integrated spline ensures precise tension during installation
  • Requires specialized electric shear wrench
  • Common in high-strength steel connections

Carriage Bolts / Carriage Anchors

  • Domed head with square neck to prevent spin during tightening
  • Ideal for wood framing or square-holed steel components

Hex Head Bolts

  • Six-sided head, industry standard for structural and mechanical fastening
  • Available in multiple finishes and strength grades

Lag Screws / Lag Bolts

  • Large-diameter fasteners for wood or lag-shield anchors
  • Zinc or HDG coated for corrosion resistance

Socket Head Bolts

  • Low-profile hex insert design, used with Allen keys or drivers
  • Often used where flush mounting or clearance is important

Deco-Type Anchor Bolts

Deco-type anchor bolts are heavy-duty, embedded anchor bolts designed for industrial and equipment applications.

  • Ideal for anchoring machinery bases, steel columns, and equipment pads
  • Typically embedded in concrete with threaded ends for base plate connections
  • Designed to withstand dynamic loads and vibration
  • Custom configurations available for unique installation layouts or load requirements
