Product Construction

The Electric Galvanized Eye & Eye Turnbuckle
consists of two closed eye fittings joined by an
adjustable central turnbuckle body.

Each closed eye provides a connection point
for compatible rigging hardware.
Unlike clevis jaw fittings, closed eyes do not
incorporate an integral removable jaw pin.

The opposing threaded ends allow controlled
adjustment of the turnbuckle length and tension.
The zinc electroplated surface provides corrosion
protection appropriate to the installation environment.

Dimension letters must be matched to the correct manufacturer drawing.

Electric Galvanized vs. Hot-Dip Galvanized

Coating performance depends on zinc thickness,
environmental exposure and maintenance.
Neither finish alone establishes the product’s
Working Load Limit.

Typical Applications

• Wire Rope and Cable Tensioning
• Indoor Structural Bracing
• Fencing and Barrier Support
• Light-Duty Cable Installations
• Industrial Equipment Adjustment
• Workshop and Maintenance Applications
• General Tensioning Systems

Application suitability depends on the actual
product rating and installation requirements.

How to Select the Correct Eye & Eye Turnbuckle

1. Thread Diameter:
   Select the appropriate size for the installation.
2. Take-Up Length:
   Determine the required adjustment travel.
3. Working Load Limit:
   Confirm whether the supplied model is load-rated
   and suitable for the intended application.
4. Eye Dimensions:
   Verify the eye opening and compatibility with
   connecting shackles or pins.
5. Open & Closed Length:
   Confirm overall dimensions before installation.
6. Environment:
   Ensure the electro-galvanized coating is suitable
   for the expected exposure conditions.
7. Quantity:
   Specify the required quantity when requesting
   a quotation.

Important Safety Information

• Use only within the manufacturer’s specified load rating.
• Apply straight, in-line tension unless otherwise approved.
• Avoid side loading, bending and angular loading.
• Inspect both eye fittings for damage and deformation.
• Inspect the central body and threaded rods.
• Ensure adequate thread engagement.
• Use compatible connecting hardware.
• Do not use damaged or excessively corroded components.
• Do not use for overhead lifting unless the manufacturer specifically approves and rates the product for lifting.
