Gibraltar GIB07290 Open Wire Turned Eye Bolt 1/4-20

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GIB07290 is a 1/4-20 open wire turned eye bolt manufactured from stainless steel. Wire turned construction forms the eye from the same rod as the shank, producing a continuous-grain loop without welds. The bolt features a 2-inch overall length, a 1-inch shank, and a 7/8-inch thread length. The eye measures 1/2 inch inner diameter and 15/16 inch outer diameter. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, coastal, and chemical environments. This fastener is used by ironworkers, riggers, electricians, and general contractors wherever a threaded anchor point or wire-routing eye is needed on a structural or mechanical assembly.

Open wire turned eye bolts in 1/4-20 thread are installed in light-to-medium load applications including cable management, wire rope anchoring, hanging fixtures, and equipment tie-down points. The open-eye design allows wire or cable to be threaded through or clipped in without tools. Stainless steel is the appropriate material choice for outdoor, marine, pool, and food-processing environments where carbon steel would corrode. This SKU ships in a package of 10 units, making it suitable for multi-point installations or service van stock.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the shank into a tapped hole, threaded insert, or through a clearance hole with a nut and washer on the back side. Ensure the eye is oriented in the direction of the applied load before final torque is applied. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply a compatible anti-gall lubricant when threading into stainless or aluminum. Follow applicable load ratings and building codes for the specific rigging or fastening application.
