Gibraltar P16050GB Lifting Eye Nut 2700 Lb 1/2-13 Thread

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR P16050GB is a heavy duty lifting eye nut engineered for industrial rigging and material handling applications. Manufactured from Grade C-1030 carbon steel with a self-colored finish, this eye nut is designed to handle a working load capacity of 2,700 pounds. The 1/2-13 thread size provides a secure connection to standard threaded rod or anchor hardware. At 2.5 inches tall with a 2-inch outside eye diameter and a 1.25-inch inside eye diameter, this component delivers a robust load path for vertical lifting and tensioning tasks. Rigging professionals, millwrights, and maintenance technicians rely on hardware of this type for dependable overhead lifting setups.

This eye nut is suited for use in construction, industrial maintenance, and manufacturing environments where threaded lifting points are required. The bell and base width of 0.875 inches provides a stable seating surface against the bearing face of a nut or flange. It is appropriate for use with hooks, shackles, and other standard rigging hardware. Installations requiring compliance with ASME B30.26 rigging hardware standards should verify load ratings and application requirements before use.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-13 threaded rod, anchor bolts, or machine screws in standard rigging and lifting applications. Confirm thread engagement depth and load rating requirements prior to installation.

Installation Notes

Eye nuts of this type are installed by licensed riggers or qualified maintenance personnel following applicable ASME and OSHA rigging standards. Thread the eye nut fully onto the rod or bolt until the base seats flush against the bearing surface, then verify the rated load path is vertical or within the manufacturer-specified angle. Never side-load an eye nut unless it is specifically rated for angular lifts. Inspect threads and the eye body for damage or deformation before each use.
