A boiler stay, also known as a boiler stay bolt or simply stay, is a type of structural support used in the design of steam boilers. It is usually a horizontal or vertical rod that provides additional strength and stability to the boiler shell, helping to withstand the internal pressure generated when the boiler is in operation. Boiler stays are typically installed to prevent the boiler from deforming or collapsing under high pressures and to help maintain its shape.
