Gibraltar PSS16250GB Lifting Eye Nut 2700 Lb 1/2-13 SS316

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR PSS16250GB is a stainless steel lifting eye nut rated for 2,700 pounds of load capacity. Made from Grade 316 stainless steel, this eye nut features a 1/2-13 threaded base that accepts standard bolts and threaded rod. It is designed for overhead lifting, rigging, and load-securing applications where corrosion resistance is critical. The eye opening measures 1.25 inches inside diameter and 2 inches outside diameter, providing a clear passage for hooks, shackles, and lifting hardware. Overall height is 2.5 inches, and the bell or base width is 0.875 inches. Rigging crews, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This eye nut is suited for marine, chemical, and outdoor environments where exposure to moisture, salt air, or corrosive agents rules out carbon steel hardware. The Grade 316 alloy offers superior resistance to chlorides compared to Grade 304. Typical applications include overhead lifting points on structural frames, equipment tie-down anchors, and rigging attachment points in wet or coastal installations. Sold individually, it threads directly onto 1/2-13 fasteners without additional hardware.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or addition for 1/2-13 threaded lifting and rigging assemblies requiring Grade 316 stainless steel eye nut hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified rigging or maintenance personnel familiar with applicable ASME B30 and OSHA overhead lifting standards. Thread the eye nut fully onto a clean, undamaged 1/2-13 fastener and ensure the eye is oriented in the plane of the load before lifting. Never side-load the eye beyond the rated angle without de-rating per the manufacturer or applicable rigging standard. Inspect threads and the eye opening for cracks or deformation before each use.
