Jaw & Eye Turnbuckles

Galvanized, high strength turnbuckles for precise in-line tensioning of wire rope, cable, and bracing.

Our jaw & eye turnbuckles combine a secure jaw connection on one end with a versatile eye on the other, giving you reliable connection points and smooth take-up for accurate tension control. These forged units are finished in hot-dip galvanizing for corrosion resistance and include lock nuts to help maintain set tension.

Key Features

• Forged, high tensile steel with hot-dip galvanized finish for strength and durability.
• Jaw end with pin and cotter on larger sizes for secure, repeatable connections.
• Eye end accommodates hooks, shackles, or other hardware for flexible rigging layouts.
• Right and left-hand threaded ends allow fast adjustment without twisting connected lines.
• Lock nuts included to help resist loosening after you set the tension.
• Multiple body lengths including 6 in, 9 in, 12 in, 18 in, and 24 in depending on size.
• Clear Working Load Limits by size so you can match capacity to the job.

Common Applications

• In-line tensioning of wire rope, cable, and guy lines
• Structural bracing and fencing tension systems
• General rigging where a fixed jaw and flexible eye simplify hook-up

Turnbuckles are recommended for straight or in-line pulls only. Do not side load.

How to Choose the Right Jaw & Eye Turnbuckle

1. Confirm Working Load Limit and select a size with a WLL equal to or greater than your maximum applied load.
2. Pick the body length that provides the take-up you need while keeping threads engaged after final tension.
3. Verify pin and eye fit with your mating hardware including shackles, hooks, or connection plates.
4. Plan for environment and choose hot-dip galvanized for outdoor and marine-adjacent conditions.
5. Inspect before service and remove from use if there is deformation, thread damage, or excessive wear.
