Metallics EB17 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread size and length is the Metallics EB17 eye bolt?
The EB17 is a 3/8-16 eye bolt with an 8 inch shank. 3/8-16 is the standard UNC coarse thread in that diameter, so it takes any 3/8-16 nut or 3/8 threaded coupling, and the hex nut is supplied with the bolt.
2) Is the Metallics EB17 eye bolt zinc plated or stainless?
Steel with a zinc plating, not stainless. Zinc plated steel is fine for dry interior work such as electrical rooms, ceilings, and indoor mechanical spaces. For a wet, washdown, coastal, or chemically aggressive location, zinc will corrode, so specify a stainless eye bolt instead.
3) Does the Metallics EB17 eye bolt come with a nut?
Yes, the nut ships with it. The EB17 is sold as an eye bolt and nut assembly, so you do not need to order 3/8-16 nuts separately for a through-bolt application. You will still need your own washers if the substrate needs bearing area.
4) How many eye bolts are in a box of Metallics EB17?
Twenty-five per box, and it is packed as a box rather than a bag or single. If you are hanging a run of conduit, cable, or chain supports, plan on ordering in multiples of 25.
5) Can an 8 inch 3/8-16 eye bolt be used to hang conduit or cable through a thick beam?
The 8 inch shank is what you buy this one for. It gives enough threaded length to pass through heavy timber, a built-up assembly, or a thick plate and still leave thread for the nut on the far side. On thin material you will have a lot of excess shank sticking out, so a shorter eye bolt is the cleaner choice there.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 3/8-16 x 8 eye bolt with nut?
Metallics catalogs it as EB17, which is the manufacturer part number to quote or cross reference. One model covers the 3/8-16 by 8 inch zinc plated configuration.
