Screw Eye

The fastener is used to secure items in soft materials — plastic, wood — and in hard materials — brick, concrete.

Fastening into hard surfaces requires a plastic wall plug of the appropriate size.

The fastener’s name relates to a feature of its design.

Hardware features

The head of the product is shaped as a properly formed eye. The ring prevents straightening, which allows various fixtures to be hung from it. The threaded element on the shank has the geometry of an ordinary wood screw. Hardened carbon steel is used in production.

The fastener is protected from corrosion by a zinc coating. The product must not be used to secure massive structures with the eye facing down — in that case the entire load falls on the thread.

This type of screw is not intended for hanging chandeliers and other bulky items. The fastener is driven into vertical and horizontal surfaces. The welded eye does not straighten out, so the fastener withstands significant loads.

Use

• Working with rigging equipment.
• Cable routing.
• Attaching scaffolding to a structure.
• Securing support items to a concrete base.
• Various household tasks.

A screwdriver, pliers and other tools are used when installing the fastener. Installation is carried out into walls and ceilings.
