National Mfg N245-142 Galvanized Forged Eye Bolt 3/8x6 in

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N245-142 is a galvanized forged eye bolt designed for lifting, rigging, and anchoring applications in trade and industrial settings. Measuring 3/8 inches in diameter and 6 inches in length, this eye bolt carries a Safe Work Load (SWL) of 1,200 pounds. The hot-dip or electro-galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in both indoor and outdoor environments. Forged construction ensures consistent grain structure and load-bearing integrity compared to cast alternatives. This fastener is installed by contractors, riggers, and maintenance technicians where a secure anchor point is required.

The N245-142 is suited for residential and light commercial applications including structural tie-downs, rigging setups, and general anchoring tasks. Its 3/8-inch shank diameter is compatible with standard 3/8-inch hardware including nuts, washers, and load binders. The bulk packaging format makes it practical for contractors stocking fastener inventory or completing multi-point installations in a single job.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-inch forged eye bolt compatible with 3/8-inch nuts, flat washers, and common rigging hardware used in residential and light commercial anchoring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by contractors, riggers, or maintenance technicians. Always ensure the mounting substrate — wood, steel, or concrete — is rated to handle the intended load before fastening. Thread the bolt fully through the material and secure with an appropriately rated nut and washer. Never exceed the stated Safe Work Load; side-loading an eye bolt significantly reduces its rated capacity and requires use of a shoulder-pattern eye bolt instead.
