Eye bolt wood thread | A4 | M8268
This version features a solid cast eye with a collar that provides a strong attachment and replaces the need for a washer during installation.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
What characterizes an eye screw with wood thread and a solid cast collar?
This eye screw combines the simplicity of a wood screw with the strong fastening capabilities of an eye bolt:
-
Solid cast eye with collar: The cast collar under the eye acts as a built-in washer. It distributes pressure and tensile forces over a larger surface against the wood, providing a significantly more stable attachment and eliminating the need for a separate, loose washer.
-
Sharp wood thread: The screw's coarse wood thread cuts deep into the wood fibers and provides extremely high pull-out resistance in both soft and hard timber.
-
Fixed attachment point: Ideal for securing ropes, lines, hooks, wires, covers, or lighter chains directly into wooden structures.
Why is stainless steel the optimal material choice for docks, boats, and agriculture?
Eye screws installed outdoors are exposed to constant moisture, weather, and chemical stress:
-
Superior corrosion protection: The stainless steel does not rust, is not susceptible to surface corrosion, and does not discolor the wood around the attachment.
-
Withstands marine and harsh environments: Perfect for installation on docks, boats, fences, and poles, as well as in animal barns and outbuildings in agricultural settings where ammonia and moisture would otherwise break down standard galvanized steel.
-
Mechanical strength: The solid cast construction has no weld seams that could crack under jerking or heavy loads.
How do you install the eye screw with wood thread for best results?
-
Pre-drill if necessary: When installing in hard wood (e.g., oak or hardwood) or near the end of a board, you should pre-drill with a bit diameter corresponding to the screw's core diameter. This prevents the wood from cracking and makes installation easier.
-
Screw in until the collar is flush: Screw in the eye screw so that the collar fits completely flush against the wood surface. This maximizes the contact area and prevents water from entering the screw hole.
-
Use leverage for the final turns: Insert a screwdriver or metal bar through the eye to easily gain leverage when tightening the final turns against the timber.
