Choosing an eye pad or anchor dish
304 or 316 stainless
316 (A4) stainless has the best corrosion resistance and is the choice for marine, coastal and other harsh outdoor environments. 304 (A2) suits indoor and sheltered outdoor use. Pair stainless eye pads with stainless fasteners to avoid galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.
Shape and size
Square, round and diamond pads are the same type of fitting in different footprints. Choose the thread size and shape to suit your mounting surface and fixing method. Check the product page for dimensions and how it is fixed.
Anchor point dishes
Tie-down anchor point dishes give a fixed point to attach tie-down fittings. The LC rating is shown in the product title, so choose a dish whose rating suits the restraint loads on your vehicle or trailer, and fit it as the manufacturer directs.
Load ratings
These fittings are for load attachment, so check the working load or LC rating for the specific item before you rely on it. The eye pads in this collection do not state a working load in the listing, so confirm it with us before using one for any load-bearing application.
Always check the data sheet
Material grade, dimensions, load rating and the Australian Standard a fitting is made to differ between products. Confirm these on the product page, and ask us if you are unsure what suits your application.

Eye pad FAQs
What is an eye pad?
An eye pad, also called a pad eye or deck plate, is a flat plate with an eye that gives a fixed attachment point for ropes, lines or fittings on a surface.
Should I choose 304 or 316 stainless?
Choose 316 (A4) for marine, coastal and harsh outdoor use, because it resists corrosion best. 304 (A2) suits indoor and sheltered outdoor use.
What sizes are available?
The square eye pad is available in M5, M6, M8 and M10, and the round and diamond eye pads in M5, M6 and M8. Check the product page for dimensions.
What does LC mean on the anchor point dishes?
It is the load rating of the dish shown in the product title. Choose a rating that suits your restraint loads, and check the product page for how to fit it.
Are these eye pads rated for lifting?
The listings do not state a working load, so do not use them for lifting or any load-bearing application until you have confirmed the rating with us. Contact us with your application.
Do I need stainless fasteners with a stainless eye pad?
Yes, use stainless fasteners, washers and nuts to avoid galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.
