Plain Pattern with Nut Eye Bolts

When to use a nut eye bolt

A nut eye bolt is fastened by passing its extended shank through a hole and tightening a nut on the far side, so it suits mounting through a plate, beam, or panel where you can reach both sides, rather than threading into a tapped hole. Like all plain pattern eye bolts, it has no shoulder, so it is rated for vertical, in-line lifts only and must never be used for angular or side loading. About half the shank is threaded to accept the nut. Choose the material for the environment, with 304 and 316 stainless for corrosion resistance and hot dipped galvanized for outdoor use. Always confirm the rated capacity and inspect before each lift.
