Stainless Steel Small Bolt

Small Eye Bolts - Stainless Steel Type 316

Small eye bolts, sometimes called mini eye bolts or miniature eye bolts, handle the tie-down and anchor-point jobs that don't call for a full-size eye bolt. When the application sits outdoors, near saltwater, or around other corrosive agents, a stainless steel eye bolt is worth the upgrade. Fasteners Plus stocks this stainless eye bolt lineup in Type 316 stainless steel, for better resistance to rust and pitting than standard 304 stainless in marine and weather-exposed environments.

Key Features

• Type 316 stainless steel construction for extra resistance to rust and pitting
• Continuous-eye, machine-thread design built to run with a nut or into a tapped hole, not a wood-thread screw eye
• Available in 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" diameters, each in multiple lengths
• Consistent corrosion resistance across every size in the line
• Rated for tie-down and anchor duty, not for overhead lifting

Common Uses

• Lightweight cable tie-downs and anchor points
• Marine hardware, dock fittings, and other saltwater-exposed applications
• Securing tarps, netting, and cargo where a small, corrosion-resistant eye bolt gets the job done
• General-purpose fastening anywhere a metal eye bolt needs to thread into a tapped hole or nut

Choosing the Right Size

This line runs 5/16", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" diameters, each available in multiple lengths, so you can match the eye bolt to the application instead of sizing up out of habit. A 5/16" or 3/8" eye bolt covers light-duty tie-downs, while the 1/2", 5/8", and 3/4" sizes handle heavier straps and hardware. Every size ships in the same Type 316 stainless, so corrosion resistance stays consistent across the range.
