CD Annular Ring Navy Stud Features

CD Annular Ring Navy Studs provide a specialized fastening method for insulation applications by combining a welded stud attachment with a locking cap retention system.

Insulation Mounting

CAR weld studs are designed specifically for installing insulation materials by providing a welded point where insulation can be positioned and secured.

Ring Groove

The annular ring design provides a locking surface for the Mushroom Navy Cap after installation, helping retain insulation materials on the welded stud.

Cap Retention

After insulation is placed over the stud, the aluminum Mushroom Navy Cap is installed with a hammer and locks onto the stud.

Material Options

Available in mild steel and stainless steel, CAR weld studs accommodate various insulation installation requirements.

Standard and Short Collets

Standard 1-3/8" long B collets (P/N CDB-018) and short 1-3/16" long B collets (P/N CDB-018A) are fully compatible but require a B Stop.

Extended Long Collets

The tooling guide features an extended 2-3/8" long collet configuration option, which notes that it requires Long Style Stops for proper tool assembly.
