National Mfg N245-183 Galvanized Forged Eye Bolt 1/2x10

Product Description

The NATIONAL MFG/SPECTRUM BRANDS HHI N245-183 is a galvanized forged eye bolt designed for load-bearing rigging, lifting, and tie-down applications in commercial and industrial settings. The bolt measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 10 inches in length, with a rated safe work load of 2,200 pounds. The hot-dip or electro-galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor use. Forged construction delivers the structural integrity required for overhead lifting and tensioned anchoring. Contractors, riggers, and maintenance professionals specify forged eye bolts when working load ratings and material traceability are critical to job safety.

This eye bolt is suited for use in construction, rigging, marine, and general industrial environments where a secure anchor point is needed. The 0.5-inch shank diameter is a common fastener size compatible with standard hardware, rigging chain, wire rope, turnbuckles, and shackles. The bulk packaging format makes it practical for contractors and supply houses stocking multiple units for project use. It is typically installed in wood, steel, or concrete anchor points depending on the application.

• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in wet, outdoor, and marine-adjacent environments
• 0.5-inch diameter x 10-inch length shank fits standard rigging hardware
• Bulk format available in package quantities of 3

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 0.5-inch forged galvanized eye bolt suitable for use with compatible rigging hardware, wire rope fittings, shackles, and turnbuckles requiring a 0.5-inch anchor bolt.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or tradesperson familiar with applicable load-bearing fastener codes and rigging safety standards. Always ensure the anchor substrate is rated to exceed the eye bolt safe work load before applying tension. Never side-load an eye bolt that is not rated for angular loading, as off-axis loads significantly reduce safe capacity. Inspect threads, the eye, and the galvanized coating for damage before each use.
