National Mfg N245-126 Galvanized Forged Eye Bolt 3/8x2-1/2

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N245-126 is a galvanized forged eye bolt rated for a 1200-pound safe work load. It measures 3/8 inches in diameter by 2-1/2 inches in length and is constructed through a forging process that produces a stronger, more uniform grain structure than cast alternatives. The hot-dip or electro-galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor applications. This fastener is sold in bulk packs of 5 units, making it a practical choice for contractors and maintenance professionals who need reliable lifting or rigging anchor points on job sites or in mechanical rooms.

The N245-126 eye bolt is suited for general rigging, hanging, and anchoring tasks across residential and light commercial work. Typical applications include suspending conduit runs, supporting pipe hangers, securing equipment to structural members, and anchoring cable or rope loads. It is commonly used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors wherever a threaded eye anchor point is required in wood or steel structures. The bulk packaging supports stocking by trade professionals and supply houses alike.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-inch forged eye bolt suitable for general rigging, hanging, and anchoring applications in wood or compatible structural substrates where a 3/8-inch threaded anchor point is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the bolt into a pre-drilled pilot hole sized to the bolt diameter in the structural member. Always verify that the substrate material and thickness are rated to support the intended load before installation. Do not exceed the stated 1200-pound safe work load, and ensure the load is applied in line with the plane of the eye to avoid side-loading. Follow applicable load-bearing and rigging guidelines per ASME B30 or local building codes as appropriate.
