Gibraltar GIB07090 Open Eye Bolt 5/16-18 Zinc-plated 10-pack

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GIB07090 is a wire-turned open eye bolt designed for general fastening and rigging applications in trade and industrial environments. Manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish, this eye bolt offers corrosion resistance suitable for light-duty indoor and outdoor use. The 5/16-18 unified coarse thread provides a reliable, widely compatible mechanical connection. The open eye design allows for quick attachment and removal of hooks, cables, or rope without the need to thread through a closed loop. Installers in electrical, mechanical, and structural trades will find this a straightforward, stock fastener for support and suspension work. Sold in a pack of 10.

This eye bolt is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a threaded suspension or anchor point is required. Typical uses include hanging conduit supports, securing cable runs, suspending HVAC components, attaching rigging lines, and mounting support brackets. The 1 inch shank length and 5/16-18 thread size fit standard clearance holes and nuts commonly found in structural members, wood framing, and metal panels. The zinc plating provides a layer of protection against moisture and mild corrosion typical of mechanical room and utility space environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, or general mechanical contractors during rough-in or support-hanging work. Ensure the mounting substrate is rated for the intended load before installing. Thread the bolt to the full recommended engagement depth and secure with a corresponding 5/16-18 nut or into a properly tapped hole. Do not exceed the load ratings of the supporting structure or use this open eye bolt in safety-critical rigging applications without verifying applicable load specifications and local code requirements.
