Value Collection C86488 Forged Eye Bolt 1/4 in Zinc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C86488 is a forged steel eye bolt with a zinc-plated finish, designed for wood screw fastening applications. Sized at 1/4 inch thread, it features a 1.5-inch thread length, a 2.75-inch shank length, and a 0.5-inch inside diameter loop. The forged construction provides greater structural integrity than cast alternatives, making this eye bolt suitable for rigging, anchoring, and tie-down tasks in light industrial, construction, and maintenance environments. Installation is handled by general contractors, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople who require a reliable threaded anchor point in wood substrates.

This eye bolt is used in residential and light commercial settings where a secure, threaded loop anchor is needed in wood framing, beams, joists, or similar substrates. The wood screw thread type allows direct installation without a nut on the backside, making it efficient for single-access fastening points. Typical applications include hanging, suspending, or securing loads from wood members in mechanical rooms, workshops, garages, and job sites.

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stocking fastener for wood screw eye bolt applications requiring a 1/4 inch forged steel anchor point.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by general tradespeople or maintenance technicians using an awl or pilot hole drill bit sized appropriately for the wood species and fastener diameter. Always pre-drill a pilot hole to prevent wood splitting, particularly in hardwoods or near board edges. Verify that the substrate thickness provides adequate thread engagement for the intended load. Do not exceed the rated load capacity of the fastener or use in overhead lifting without confirming load ratings from the manufacturer.
