Stay-bolts are most commonly found in locomotive boilers. They are needed because of the irregular shape of the pressure retaining surfaces in that type of boiler. Stay-bolts are usually installed in the area around the firebox portion of a locomotive boiler and can number into the hundreds. It is quite common to install them into threaded holes to join the inner and outer sheets surrounding the firebox, although in modern times many of them may be welded in place. Either way, without stay-bolts to give strength to the irregularly shaped portions of the boiler, an explosion would be a certainty. Steam boiler explosions in the past have completely destroyed locomotives and killed any personnel in the vicinity.
