Why hot dipped galvanized Style B eye nuts?
Hot dip galvanizing immerses the eye nut in molten zinc for a much thicker coating than electroplating, giving lasting corrosion resistance for outdoor and wet rigging, while the Style B pattern's heavier head and bell add capacity over Style A in the same thread diameter. That makes it a strong outdoor lifting point. It threads onto a stud or bolt for straight, in-line loads. Seat the eye nut squarely on a flat surface or hardened washer, engage full threads (at least one bolt diameter in steel), and align the eye with the pull. Pair galvanized eye nuts with galvanized studs and hardware. For the harshest coastal exposure, stainless offers more resistance. Avoid side loading unless derated, and confirm the rated capacity before each lift.
Why choose hot dipped galvanized steel Style B eye nuts
- Higher capacity: heavier head than Style A for the same thread.
- Thick zinc coating: lasting corrosion resistance outdoors.
- Outdoor durable: for exterior and wet lifting points.
- Match coating: pairs with galvanized studs.
Common applications for galvanized Style B eye nuts

Hot Dipped Galvanized Style B Eye Nuts FAQ
Why galvanized for eye nuts?
Hot dip galvanizing gives a thick, durable zinc coating that resists corrosion far longer outdoors, suited to exterior and wet lifting points.
Why Style B?
The heavier Style B head gives more capacity than Style A in the same thread size.
Can these be side loaded?
Avoid side loading unless the manufacturer allows it with derating. Align the eye with the direction of pull.
