Galvanized Eye & Eye Turnbuckles

Galvanized eye-and-eye turnbuckles adjust tension in compatible cable, wire-rope and tie-rod assemblies. Closed eyes at both ends provide attachment points for suitable connecting hardware. Choose the thread diameter and take-up length to suit the installation, then check the exact assembly’s working load limit and connection clearances.

Closed-Eye Connections

Eye ends form closed loops rather than open hooks. They are useful where a connection will stay assembled and adjustment is made by rotating the turnbuckle body. Check the eye opening against the diameter and shape of the mating connector; a nominal thread size does not specify eye clearance.

Sizing & Adjustment

Size is listed as thread diameter × take-up. Take-up describes the available adjustment, not the overall length. Use the dimensional drawing to check open and closed lengths, eye openings and the space required for installation. Set up the assembly with enough usable adjustment and maintain the manufacturer’s required thread engagement.

Finish & Applications

The hot-dip galvanized finish provides corrosion protection for suitable outdoor installations. Common uses include compatible bracing, guy-line and tensioning assemblies. Check the environment, mating materials and application requirements before selecting hardware.

Installation & Inspection

Use for straight, in-line tension only. Do not side-load or shock-load. Verify the manufacturer’s working load limit and suitability for the exact complete assembly. Maintain required thread engagement and secure pins, retainers and any locking provisions as instructed. Inspect before use and remove damaged or worn hardware from service. Do not assume general-purpose hardware is approved for overhead lifting, fall protection or personnel support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an eye-and-eye turnbuckle?
It is an adjustable tensioning assembly with a closed eye at each end. Rotating the body adjusts the distance between the end fittings.

Does a 1/2 × 9 turnbuckle measure 9 inches overall?
No. The first number is the nominal thread diameter and the second is the take-up length. Refer to the drawing for overall open and closed dimensions.

Can eye-and-eye capacity be used for hook-ended turnbuckles?
No. Use the working load limit for the exact complete assembly and end configuration, not the rating of a different style.
