Gibraltar GIB07460 Open Wire Turned Eye Bolt 1/2-13

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GIB07460 is a 1/2-13 threaded open wire turned eye bolt manufactured from stainless steel. Wire turned construction forms the eye from the same rod as the shank, producing an open-loop configuration suited for light-to-medium load attachment, rigging, and anchor applications. The 1/2-13 thread size is a standard coarse-thread specification commonly found in structural and mechanical fastener work. With an overall length of 4 inches and a shank length of 2 inches, this eye bolt is sized for moderate-depth fastening into wood, metal, or composite substrates. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working in corrosion-prone environments will value the stainless steel construction for its resistance to rust and oxidation.

This eye bolt is appropriate for general construction, marine, HVAC equipment anchoring, and facilities maintenance applications where a corrosion-resistant threaded eye anchor is required. The open wire turned eye design accommodates hooks, carabiners, cables, and rope attachments. Typical installation scenarios include equipment tie-down points, cable routing anchors, and rigging attachment hardware in both indoor and outdoor environments. The 1/2-13 coarse thread allows installation into standard hex nuts, coupling nuts, or tapped holes.

Key Features

• 1/2-13 coarse thread for compatibility with standard nuts and tapped fastener holes
• Stainless steel material provides corrosion and oxidation resistance
• 1 inch inside diameter eye opening with 1-57/64 inch outside diameter
• 2 inch shank length with 1-1/2 inch thread length for secure substrate engagement
• 4 inch overall length suits moderate-depth fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-13 threaded open eye bolt for use with compatible hex nuts, coupling nuts, or pre-tapped holes in wood, metal, or composite substrates requiring a corrosion-resistant stainless steel anchor point.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded eye bolts should be performed by qualified trades personnel following applicable structural and rigging guidelines. Ensure the substrate material and thickness are rated to handle the intended load before installation. Thread the bolt fully so the shoulder or shank seats flush against the mounting surface to maximize load capacity. Do not apply side loads to an open wire turned eye bolt beyond its rated capacity, as this type of eye is not designed for angular or shock loading.
