Value Collection A996953 Hook Eye Turnbuckle Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996953 is a hook-and-eye turnbuckle designed for tensioning and adjusting tension in wire rope, cable, and rod assemblies. Built from C1035 steel, it handles a working load limit of 3,500 pounds and features a 5/8-inch thread diameter with 6 inches of take-up travel. The closed length measures 14-1/8 inches. This turnbuckle is installed by riggers, ironworkers, general contractors, and maintenance trades wherever secure, adjustable tensioning is required in structural, rigging, or tie-down applications.

Typical applications include cable bracing, guy wire tensioning, load securing, and structural tie-down systems in both commercial and industrial settings. The hook-and-eye configuration allows quick attachment to anchor points and cables without requiring special tooling for connection. This turnbuckle is suited for overhead and lateral tension applications where a reliable, adjustable mechanical link is needed between two fixed or semi-fixed anchor points.

Key Features

• 3,500 pound working load limit for heavy-duty tensioning tasks
• 5/8-inch thread diameter for compatibility with standard rigging hardware
• 6 inches of take-up travel allows substantial length adjustment in the field
• 14-1/8-inch closed length suits a range of structural and rigging span requirements
• C1035 steel construction provides strength and durability under sustained load
• Hook-and-eye ends allow attachment to cables, anchor rings, and structural loops

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use turnbuckle for rigging and tensioning systems requiring a 5/8-inch thread diameter hook-and-eye configuration with a 3,500-pound working load limit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified rigger or trades professional familiar with applicable load-bearing hardware standards. Before installing or adjusting the turnbuckle, ensure the load is fully relieved and anchor points are rated to meet or exceed the working load limit of this hardware. Thread both the hook and eye ends fully onto the turnbuckle body, verifying that a minimum of full thread engagement is achieved before applying tension. Never exceed the rated working load limit, and inspect the turnbuckle body, threads, and hooks for deformation or wear before each use.
