Gibraltar GIB11712 Closed Eye Bolt 3/8-16 Steel Zinc-plated

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR GIB11712 is a wire-turned closed eye bolt designed for fastening, rigging, and anchoring applications in trade and industrial settings. Manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this eye bolt features a 3/8-16 thread size and a fully closed eye that prevents accidental disengagement of hooks, cables, or rings under load. The shank measures 11.375 inches in length with a thread length of 2.5 inches, making it suitable for through-bolting and embedded anchoring tasks. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general contractors working with structural hardware, rigging systems, or mounting assemblies.

This closed eye bolt is used in residential and commercial construction, mechanical rooms, overhead rigging, and utility installations where a secure, threaded anchor point is required. The closed eye design is preferred in applications where an open hook would create a safety or load-retention concern. The zinc-plated steel construction is appropriate for dry and mildly humid interior environments. This part is sold in a package of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with load-rated fastening and rigging hardware. Ensure the mounting substrate is rated for the intended load before installation. Use appropriate washers and nuts torqued to the hardware manufacturer's standard for 3/8-16 fasteners. Always de-energize or de-load adjacent systems before performing overhead or structural fastening work.
