National Hardware N221-085 Eye Bolt 1/4 X 2 Inch Zinc

Product Description

The NATIONAL HARDWARE N221-085 is a zinc-plated steel eye bolt designed for secure anchoring and fastening in both residential and light industrial settings. Part of the 2160BC catalog series, this eye bolt features machine screw threads and ships with a hex nut assembled, making it ready for installation straight out of the package. The 1/4-inch diameter by 2-inch shank length suits a range of load-hanging, rope-routing, and tie-down applications. Constructed from steel wire with a zinc finish, this fastener resists corrosion well enough for interior and exterior use. Licensed contractors, maintenance crews, and skilled tradespeople install this type of hardware as part of structural anchoring, rigging, or general utility work.

This eye bolt fits interior and exterior applications across home improvement and industrial environments. Typical uses include suspending loads from joists or beams, routing cables or chains, and creating anchor points on equipment frames or wall structures. The assembled hex nut allows immediate installation without sourcing additional hardware. The zinc coating makes it suitable for covered outdoor installations where moisture exposure is moderate.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance professionals, contractors, or knowledgeable tradespeople using standard hand tools. Always ensure the receiving material is structurally rated for the intended load before installing an eye bolt anchor point. Do not exceed the rated working load limit for the bolt diameter and material. Follow applicable building codes and fastener manufacturer guidelines when using eye bolts in overhead or safety-critical rigging applications.
