Corrosion-resistant fasteners for Water Treatment & Desalination.
High-strength duplex studs and corrosion-resistant flange sets for seawater pumps, concentrate lines and treatment equipment.
Which fasteners fit your water-treatment and desalination applications?
BYBOLT supplies Super Duplex 2507 stud bolts and stud & nut sets for high-pressure seawater pumps and flanges. Inconel 625 stud & nut sets add corrosion resistance for demanding brine connections; Duplex 2205 hex bolts offer strength for less aggressive treatment-water equipment. Order by stream and equipment tag to keep the correct alloy with each connection.
Fasteners for desalination & water-treatment equipment.
SWRO high-pressure membrane vessels
On SWRO assemblies with bolted end hardware or external supports, 2507 studs carry the connection load in saline service. Super duplex strength is useful within the available bolt pattern, while chloride resistance addresses brine around the exposed threads. The end-plate and support layouts determine the stud lengths and nut stack.
Super Duplex 2507 Stud BoltsRelated material guides
Connection requirements
- Vessel end-retention drawing
- Design load and end-plate thickness
- Stud length and nut arrangement
Brine booster & high-pressure pumps
Brine booster pumps need removable bolted covers that carry pressure loads in concentrated saline service. 2507 hex bolts are useful where the pump’s corrosion assessment selects super duplex steel. The bolt shank, thread runout and nut position should be laid out against the actual cover stack before the length is fixed.

Connection requirements
- Brine composition and temperature
- Cover stack and thread runout
- Required finished-bolt strength
Energy recovery devices (ERDs)
2507 studs can serve bolted covers and flanges on energy-recovery equipment specified for super duplex fastening. Their strength and chloride resistance are useful where compact pressure housings leave a limited fastening envelope. A tapped-stud arrangement can retain the studs during servicing; through-flange connections use their own nut and engagement layout.

Connection requirements
- Housing pressure and cover load
- Seawater or brine temperature
- Nut access and stud engagement
Seawater intake screens & gates
Intake-screen brackets often use slots to allow installation adjustment. 254 SMO washers can bridge the slot in chloride exposure and transfer nut pressure onto the bracket. The slot span determines the bending demand on the washer, making thickness and supported width more useful ordering details than bolt diameter alone.
254 SMO Flat WashersConnection requirements
- Slot width and supported span
- Washer thickness and outline
- Mounting load and immersed exposure
Chemical dosing & chlorination skids
Chemical dosing skids combine small pumps and valve blocks in crowded layouts. 825 socket screws can retain removable housings exposed to compatible sulfuric-acid dosing solutions. The head needs a clean, fully supported seat; placing the recess away from a drip path reduces chemical accumulation in the drive.

Connection requirements
- Dosing chemical and concentration
- Head-seat dimensions
- Blind-hole engagement and screw length
Thermal desalination (MED/MSF) evaporators
Thermal-desalination equipment has saline covers and auxiliary connections that must be opened for cleaning. S32760 studs can serve those joints where temperature and brine chemistry fall within the selected super duplex duty. Their removable nuts simplify cover work, while the complete flange stack determines the stud length.
Super Duplex S32760 Stud BoltsConnection requirements
- Brine temperature and chemistry
- Cover, gasket and nut stack
- Required mechanical properties at service temperature
Salinity, oxidants and cyclic pressure.
2205 offers strength for less aggressive treatment-water joints; 2507 and SMO 254 add pitting resistance for demanding chloride exposure. Select seawater and concentrate-line fasteners using temperature, deposits and crevice conditions, including shutdown periods.
What to specify
- Chloride concentration
- Brine concentration ratio
- Service temperature range
Titanium Grade 2 is an option for wet hypochlorite service where chemistry and temperature support its protective film. C-276 is another candidate for some mixed treatment liquids. Separate directly wetted dosing joints from external skid bolts exposed only to occasional splash.
What to specify
- Free chlorine concentration
- Oxidant exposure duration
- Cleaning chemical pH range
2507 and Zeron 100 combine high strength with chloride resistance for high-pressure RO connections. Fatigue life and retained preload also depend on thread geometry, assembly preload and the pressure cycle; an alloy change alone does not solve joint loosening.
What to specify
- Pressure cycle count
- Peak operating pressure
- Preload retention requirement
