Blue Wave Swageless Stud Terminal
Mechanical wire stud terminal for turnbuckles and rigging screw assemblies
The Blue Wave Swageless Stud Terminal provides a strong,
serviceable wire termination with precision-machined threads designed for
direct installation into turnbuckles and rigging screws. As one of the most
common end fittings in standing rigging systems, stud terminals create a
clean, compact connection while allowing precise rig tension adjustment.
Like other Blue Wave swageless fittings, the stud terminal installs without
hydraulic swaging equipment. An internal cone and mechanical compression
system securely captures the wire strands, allowing assembly with standard
tools. This makes it ideal for professional rigging shops, boatyards, and
sailors performing on-site rigging replacement or emergency repairs.
The standard thread length provides reliable engagement in most turnbuckle
bodies and rigging screws. For applications requiring additional thread
engagement or adjustment range, see the
Blue Wave Long Swageless Stud Terminal.

Why Choose a Swageless Stud Terminal?
Stud terminals are widely used throughout standing rigging systems because
they provide direct, efficient connection to turnbuckles while maintaining
full working load capacity. A swageless stud terminal adds the advantage of
field installation and serviceability without specialized swaging equipment.
For sailors upgrading aging rigging, preparing for offshore passages,
or completing custom builds, the Blue Wave Swageless Stud Terminal
delivers strength, precision fit, and dependable long-term performance.
