What is this I found in the interior wall?

[hsd]

I would have either started by making an easy-to-repair hole in the wall or drilled a hole just above into the stud to check with the phone how it's done on the other side. But I guess it's a coupling fitting considering the location and "ankarmuttern." Then it could be that there is a reverse thread on the other end and a square/hexagonal profile in the middle, or a simpler solution, double nut and turnbuckle. But why it's built with such complicated things, I have no guess. But I'm curious!

It's going to be wallpapered over anyway...
I would have broken up the side wall and checked...

The builder bought studs at Byggmax, this is how he fastened them together to straighten them. It is mao a straightening bracket 🥸

Hello

Today I got the keys to the new house built in '51.
An interior wall needs to be torn down, and I immediately put the saw to it.

When I had almost sawed out the hole as big as it should be, I found this in the interior wall.

It is a threaded rod with some type of sleeve on it that could be unscrewed, what is this? I will need to cut it off by 7-8 cm.

The wall I am tearing down is not load-bearing but is connected at an angle with a load-bearing wall, and this "rod" starts about 70 cm from the load-bearing wall.

Probably a mounting bracket that previously held something like a sink or radiator. Or a stud that was used when they put it in. It doesn't interfere with the construction.

I believe the mystery is solved.
It seems to be some form of bolt/expander to hold together two standing studs so they become joined. I found several as I continued to tear down.

Are you sure it's not some sort of prefabricated or modular house?
Isn't that how it can look when you assemble the elements?

Quite possible!

As I understand it, though I am an amateur, you cannot tear down such walls in an ordinary simple way. Even if they do not support the ceiling/joist above (are load-bearing).

Which wall are we talking about?

It's the one between the living room and the bedroom.

If no one else in the forum has an opinion on the wall, it might be best to contact a structural engineer.

Do you have more construction drawings and descriptions than the sectional drawing you posted in the other thread?
And I don't mean facade drawings.

There is nothing else.

In older modular houses, I have seen bolts used to hold the modules together. In this case, it doesn't look that long, but they can be several meters long and 16-20mm in diameter. I suspect it could make quite a noise when cutting one like that🫣
Plus, the house is no longer structurally OK.

My thought is also that it is screws that join together a module/element house. If these are cut or removed, the house can slide apart into its original parts.
