Purchasing Eye Nuts
An eye nut has a looped head designed to receive a hook or rope. They have an oval or round shape and feature different ratings for specific applications. You can attach an eye nut to a bolt, stud, anchor or threaded rod, depending on the intended use. Eye nuts can perform vertical lifting only. You will need a different type of fastener if you plan on using it with an angular lift.
Eye Nut Applications
Projects involving eye nuts tend to have purposes related to hanging or pulling. The looped head can accommodate up to multiple tons of weight, depending on the nut's material, mounting surface and fastening hardware. Eye nuts graded for lifting often find use in industrial and marine applications because of their strength. Meanwhile, eye nuts without load ratings hold guiding wires or tie downs.
Types of Eye Nuts
Eye nuts have specifications that include:
- Maximum load capacity: The maximum load capacity of an eye nut depends on its material and engineering.
- Bell diameter: An eye nut's bell diameter measures the part of the eye that includes the tap.
- Threaded length: Most eye nuts have threading, but some come untapped.
- Bail size: The bail size refers to the inside diameter or width of the eye nut's loop.
- Weight: Eye nut weight also depends on the material used, as well as the nut's size.
You can find eye nuts created from a variety of metals that serve different purposes. Metals such as aluminum prioritize lightness over strength, while materials like steel have superior load capacities.
