Gibraltar 16295 1 Lifting Eye Nut 7200 Lb 1-8 Thread

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 16295 1 is a regular-duty lifting eye nut rated for 7,200 pounds capacity. It is manufactured from Grade C-1030 carbon steel with a self-colored finish. The nut accepts a 1-8 thread and provides a secure attachment point for overhead lifting applications. Standing 4.3125 inches high, it features a 2-inch inside eye diameter and a 3.5-inch outside eye diameter. The bell and base width measures 3.5 inches. This hardware is used by riggers, millwrights, and maintenance trades who need a reliable threaded lift point on machinery, structural components, or fabricated assemblies.

The GIBRALTAR 16295 1 is suited for industrial and commercial lifting operations where a bolted eye nut connection is required. It threads onto standard 1-8 UNC fasteners and is appropriate for use with hooks, shackles, and lifting slings in plant maintenance, equipment installation, and rigging operations. The self-colored carbon steel construction makes it a practical choice for standard indoor or controlled-environment lifting tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or millwright familiar with applicable ASME B30 and OSHA rigging standards. Always thread the eye nut fully onto a clean, undamaged 1-8 UNC threaded fastener and verify it is seated flush against the load surface before applying any load. Never side-load or shock-load an eye nut beyond its rated capacity. Inspect the eye nut for cracks, deformation, or thread damage before each use and remove it from service if any defects are found.
