It depends on the code of construction. For example, Section I for Power Boilers exempts PWHT for application of non-load bearing studs - see below for General note 5 from table PW-39-4.
(5) for welds attaching nonload‐carrying studs or insulation attachment pins not exceeding 1/2 in. (13 mm) in diameter when using an automatic arc stud welding or automatic resistance stud welding process
(5) for welds attaching nonload‐carrying studs or insulation attachment pins not exceeding 1/2 in. (13 mm) in diameter when using an automatic arc stud welding or automatic resistance stud welding process

I found 2001 version of section I for power boilers and there is a limitation of 4" on that one.

For tubing, most ASME Codes and Standards will exempt PWHT for non-load bearing studs provided the process is by arc or resistance welding and the heat affected zone from the stud does not encroach on the minimum wall thickness of the tube, by design.
