Eye bolts & Screw eyes
|
Wire eye bolts (also referred to as bent or turned eye bolts) are used for light duty applications, and should not be used for angular loads.
|
Drop forged eye bolts are significantly stronger than wire eyes and are available in larger sizes. These bolts should not be used for angular loads.
-
Stainless steel 304
A corrosion resistant steel alloy. The most common stainless steel for general hardware use.
-
Stainless steel 316
A corrosion resistant steel alloy. A highly corrosion resistant grade of stainless steel. Ideal in salt water and chlorine environments. More expensive than 18-8.
-
Hot dipped galvanized steel
A low carbon steel for general use. Hot dipped galvanized is a coating for very good corrosion resistance.
|
Drop forged machinery eye bolts are fully threaded. Machinery eye bolts without a shoulder should not be used for angular loads.

-
Zinc plated steel
A low carbon steel for general use. Zinc plated for moderate corrosion resistance.
-
Steel plain finish
A low carbon steel for general use. Unplated finish.
-
8620 alloy steel
A very high strength heat treated alloy steel.

Wire eye lags (also referred to as screw thread eye bolts, eye screws, or turned/bent eye lags) have a wood screw thread for use in wood or lag anchors. Like wire eye bolts, wire eye lags are intended for light duty applications and should not be used for angular loads.
|
Forged eye lags have a lag screw thread for use in light to medium duty wood applications. These bolts should not be used for angular loads.
|
Forged eye lags with shoulder have a lag screw thread for use in light to medium duty wood applications. These can be used for angular loads.
|
Screw eyes are similar to wire eye lags, but are specified by trade size and available in smaller sizes. See our screw eye ‘lay-over’ chart for details.

Brass
Solid brass. An alloy of primarily copper and zinc with good corrosion resistance. Used mostly in decorative and electrical applications. Exact color varies.
