Guidelines for use of Eye nuts

• Check all thread forms prior to installation. Ensure the Eye nut thread and the thread form of the bolt or all thread that you are fitting to the Eye nut are the same.
• Check that the material you are threading into the Eye nut is compatible and complies with the minimum requirements as set out in Table 1. Thread fit shall comply with 6G of the following Standards AS1721-1985 (Metric) AS2451-1998 (BSW) BS1580-1962 (UNC)

• Check that the thread is fully engaged ie: the bolt/allthread is engaged to the bottom of the loop Eye nut minimum thread engagement should be equal to diameter of thread.
• Check the collar face and the contacting face are flat and smooth and securely tightened. When all these conditions are met, the AS2317-1998 Collared Eyebolts table maybe applied refer Table 2.

 
We will provide Conformance Certificates upon request, which state the material composition and batch code. We manufacture our Eye nuts from the same material as our Eyebolts: Ie: Heat Certified Australian steel exclusively to comply with our ISO9001 and NATA accreditation.'
