Gibraltar GIB07040 Open Eye Bolt 1/4-20 Zinc-plated Steel 10-pack

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GIB07040 is a wire-turned open eye bolt made from steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features a 1/4-20 thread size, a 1-inch shank length, and a 2-inch overall length. The open eye design allows for easy lateral loading and quick attachment or detachment of cables, hooks, and fasteners without disassembly. This style of eye bolt is widely used in light-duty rigging, cable management, and general fastening applications across mechanical, electrical, HVAC, and construction trades. Each package contains 10 pieces.

Wire-turned open eye bolts like the GIB07040 are suited for residential and light commercial applications where a fixed attachment point is needed for cables, wires, straps, or light loads. Common install scenarios include securing conduit or low-voltage wiring runs, hanging lightweight HVAC components, and general mechanical fastening to wood, metal framing, or structural members. The 1/2-inch inside diameter eye accommodates standard hooks and loops used in typical trade work.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 wire-turned open eye bolt suitable for use with any fastening application requiring a 1/4-20 threaded connection point and a 1/2-inch inside diameter open eye.

Installation Notes

Install using standard hand tools appropriate for 1/4-20 threaded fasteners. Ensure the receiving material provides adequate thread engagement for the intended load. Do not use open eye bolts for overhead lifting or vertical shock-load applications — open eye designs are not rated for those conditions. Power down or de-energize any nearby electrical systems before fastening hardware in panel or wiring areas.
