Gibraltar PSS16262GB Lifting Eye Nut 5000 Lb 5/8-11 Thread

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR PSS16262GB is a Grade 316 stainless steel lifting eye nut rated for 5,000 pounds capacity with a 5/8-11 threaded bore. It is designed to accept a bolt or threaded rod and provide a secure overhead lifting or rigging attachment point. Grade 316 stainless steel offers strong resistance to corrosion, making this eye nut suitable for demanding environments including marine, chemical, and washdown applications. The nut stands 3 inches high with a 1-3/8 inch bell and base width. The eye opening measures 1-1/2 inches inside diameter and 2-1/2 inches outside diameter. Rigging professionals, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this hardware as part of engineered lift assemblies.

This lifting eye nut is appropriate for use in both light industrial and heavy maintenance settings where a removable, threaded overhead attachment point is required. Typical applications include machinery positioning, structural component lifts, and fixture rigging on threaded rod assemblies. The Grade 316 stainless steel construction makes it well suited for outdoor, coastal, or high-humidity environments where carbon steel hardware would be prone to corrosion and performance degradation over time.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified rigging or maintenance personnel familiar with applicable ASME B30 and OSHA rigging standards. Thread the eye nut fully onto a compatible 5/8-11 fastener or rod and ensure full thread engagement before applying any load. Inspect the eye nut, mating fastener, and lifting hardware for damage or corrosion prior to each use. Never exceed the rated working load limit and do not use this hardware for angular loading unless the working load limit has been appropriately derated per applicable rigging guidelines.
