The Oval Eye Nut is a drop forged fastener with an elongated eye design used for deadending applications with suspension or strain insulators in electrical power systems. It secures cables and wires, typically working with bolts threaded vertically into dead end clamps. Manufactured from carbon steel or stainless steel, common finishes include hot-dip galvanized, zinc plated, or self colored for enhanced durability.
Drop forged steel construction complies with standards like American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A105 and ASTM A153, with thread sizes such as 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch Unified National Coarse (UNC). Dimensions include specific eye inner and outer diameters, thread lengths, and bell sizes, with ultimate strength ratings reaching up to 14,120 pounds. Hot-dip galvanized finishes provide moisture and corrosion resistance, while stainless steel options like American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) 316 offer additional protection for varied environmental conditions.
The Oval Eye Nut is designed exclusively for deadending and guying applications in power transmission and telecommunications and is not rated for lifting operations. Standard packaging includes quantities of 50 units per pack. The product does not meet Charpy impact requirements unless specified with additional suffixes. Proper installation requires aligning loads with the eye plane and avoiding angular lifting to maintain integrity and safety.
