M6 Collared Eye Bolt, 316 Stainless Steel - 142918

Made in 316 (A4) stainless steel, the Collared Eye Bolt is a threaded bolt with a closed eye and a collar under the eye. The collar seats against the surface.

You can choose from 7 variants, covering sizes M6 to M24. Variants are supplied in packs of 2 to 10, depending on size.

The A4 (316) grade is stainless steel with added molybdenum, which helps it hold up where salt, pool chemicals or washdown chemicals are present. It is the more corrosion-resistant of the two common stainless grades, at a higher cost than 304. Metric sizes are written M followed by the nominal thread diameter in millimetres, so M10 is a 10 mm thread.

Austenitic stainless steel is generally non-magnetic, although cold-worked parts can show weak magnetism. Stainless threads can gall (seize) when tightened under load or at speed. A smear of anti-seize on the thread and a steady tightening speed reduce the risk.

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

Choose the size by the thread and length shown on the variant. Do not use an eye bolt for lifting unless the supplier states a rating and the bolt is marked with a working load limit (WLL). Eye bolts are rated for a straight pull in line with the shank, and the rating drops sharply for angled loads. For lifting, use a rated lifting product and a qualified rigger.

Important

This product is not stated as lifting rated in the supplier data. Do not use it to lift or suspend people or loads unless it is marked with a working load limit (WLL). Rigging and lifting hardware should be selected, inspected and used in line with your site procedures and the relevant Australian Standards, and a qualified rigger should be consulted for any lift.
