Eye Nuts

Eye nuts are threaded fasteners with an eye-shaped connection point that install onto compatible threaded hardware. They are used by maintenance, fabrication, assembly, and shop teams when an eye-nut configuration is required for a threaded fastening assembly. Available options include inch and metric threads, multiple materials, finishes, and Style A or Style D configurations.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

1. Verify thread compatibility

Select the exact thread size and thread type

An eye nut must match the compatible threaded hardware. Review both the nominal size and the stated thread designation before selecting a replacement or component for a new assembly.

  • Inch-thread options include 3/8-16, 1/2-13, 5/8-11, 3/4-10, and 1-8.
  • Metric options include M12 x 1.75, M20 x 2.50, and M24 x 3.00.
  • Several inch options are specified with UNC-2B threads.
  • Metric options are specified with ISO coarse tapped threads, including 6H thread classes.
2. Match material, finish, and style

Choose the construction specified for your hardware setup

After confirming thread compatibility, compare the material and surface treatment needed for the application. Carbon steel eye nuts are offered with self-colored, galvanized, or zinc-plated finishes, while stainless steel choices include 304 and 316 options with passivated and electropolished surfaces.

  • Drop-forged carbon steel is available across inch and metric selections.
