Shoulder Nut Eye Bolt - Installation for Angular loading

The threaded shank must protrude through the load sufficiently to allow full engagement of the nut.

If the eye bolt protrudes so far through the load that the nut cannot be tightened securely against the load, use properly sized washers to take up the extra space

Between The Nut And The Load

Place washers or spacers between nut and load so that when the nut is tightened securely, the shoulder is secured flush against the load surface.
