Value Collection A997188 Eye Bolt 5/16-18 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997188 is a 5/16-18 open wire turned eye bolt machined from stainless steel. It features a 4-inch shank length and a 2.5-inch thread length, with a 0.625-inch inside diameter loop. Wire turned construction forms the open eye from a single piece of rod stock, making it well suited for light-to-medium lifting, rigging, and tie-down applications where a hook or cable attachment point is needed. This fastener is installed by electricians, maintenance technicians, riggers, and general contractors working in corrosive or outdoor environments where stainless steel is specified over zinc-plated alternatives.

This eye bolt is designed for use in overhead rigging, cable management, hanging fixtures, and anchorage applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The open eye design allows a line, hook, or shackle to be threaded through without the need to unclip a closure. The 5/16-18 UNC thread pattern is a common standard size compatible with matching nuts and threaded inserts of the same designation. This listing includes a package quantity of 2 bolts.

Key Features

• Open wire turned eye allows quick hook and cable attachment without unclipping
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for compatibility with standard nuts and threaded inserts
• 4-inch shank length provides extended reach for thick substrates or stacked materials
• 2.5-inch thread length offers ample engagement depth
• 0.625-inch inside diameter loop sized for hooks, shackles, and small carabiners
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, outdoor, and marine-adjacent environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC open wire turned eye bolt compatible with any application requiring that thread designation and a corrosion-resistant stainless steel fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the bolt into a pre-tapped hole or a mating nut of the corresponding 5/16-18 UNC specification. Power down or de-energize any adjacent systems before working in overhead or enclosed spaces. Use appropriate hand tools and verify that the substrate material and load rating are suitable for the intended application before applying any load to the eye. Follow applicable ASME B30 rigging standards and local building codes when using eye bolts in overhead lifting or structural anchorage applications.
