Value Collection A997187 5/16-18 Ss Eye Bolt 3in Shank 5-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997187 is a 5/16-18 open wire turned eye bolt manufactured from 304 stainless steel. Wire turned eye bolts are formed by bending round wire stock into a circular eye loop, producing an open-eye geometry suited for hooking, rigging, and light lifting applications. The shank measures 3 inches in length with a 1.5-inch threaded section and a 5/8-inch inside diameter eye. Grade 304 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and mildly corrosive environments. This listing is sold as a pack of 5 pieces. Mechanical contractors, riggers, marine technicians, and maintenance crews regularly specify open wire turned eye bolts for cable routing, tie-down anchoring, and hook-point installation.

This eye bolt is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a threaded anchor point is needed in wood, metal, or composite substrates. The 5/16-18 UNC thread is a standard coarse-pitch size compatible with widely available nuts and threaded inserts. The open eye design allows a hook, carabiner, or cable loop to be inserted and removed without threading. Typical use cases include utility routing, barrier rigging, sign hanging, and equipment anchoring in environments exposed to moisture or weather where stainless hardware is preferred over zinc-plated alternatives.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading contractors, maintenance technicians, or qualified tradespeople using a standard hand tool or threading driver. Ensure the substrate material and thickness are rated for the intended load before installing. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize compound when installing stainless fasteners into stainless or dissimilar metal threads to prevent galling. Verify load ratings with published fastener standards before use in overhead or life-safety rigging applications.
