An eye bolt provides a lifting point for ropes, hooks or shackles. It often threads into a tapped hole or passes through a hole and takes a nut. A spanner or wrench usually tightens it.

This kind of bolt is often made in stainless steel. Stainless steel gives good corrosion resistance for outdoor and marine use.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance and a material certificate. On receipt, check the thread, eye dimensions and surface finish. Look for cracks or deformation.
