Product Information
Full details
The Forgefix Eye Bolt masonry anchor is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts requiring a heavy-duty, secure fixing point in stone or concrete. Its primary benefit is the combination of a four-way expansion shield and a reliable wedge-retaining spring system that provides exceptional anchorage for lifting or tethering applications. While these bolts offer superior hold strength, they are specifically engineered for masonry materials and should not be used in hollow block or soft brick without verifying load-bearing requirements.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Can these bolts be used in hollow brick?
No, these are expansion anchors designed for solid masonry and concrete. They will not gain the necessary grip in hollow materials.
Does the yellow coating prevent rust permanently?
The Zinc Yellow Passivation provides excellent corrosion resistance, but it is not completely rust-proof in extreme environments or constant water exposure.
What tool do I need to install these?
You will need a rotary hammer drill for the masonry and a standard spanner of the correct size to tighten the bolt.
Is this bolt suitable for overhead lifting?
While the anchor is heavy-duty, always ensure the load rating of the masonry and the bolt exceeds your safety factor requirements for overhead applications.
Can I reuse these anchors after removal?
It is not recommended to reuse expansion anchors once they have been fully set, as the expansion shield may be permanently deformed.
Troubleshooting
Bolt spins in the hole without tightening
The drill hole is likely too wide or the substrate is too soft. Check that the drill bit diameter matches the specifications and ensure you are working in solid concrete.
Difficulty inserting the anchor
Ensure the drill hole is free of concrete dust. Use a wire brush to clear the hole before attempting to insert the bolt again.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High corrosion resistance from yellow passivation
- Secure four-way grip in solid masonry
- Reliable wedge encapsulation prevents mechanical failure
- Ideal for heavy-duty load-bearing tasks
Cons
- Requires precise drilling in masonry
- Not suitable for soft or crumbling brickwork
- Requires specific spanner size for proper torque
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these anchors, drill a hole into the substrate matching the diameter of the expansion shield. Clear the hole completely using a brush or compressed air. Insert the bolt into the hole, ensuring the wedge and shield are fully seated. Tighten the nut using a correctly sized spanner; as the nut is tightened, the shield expands and grips the surrounding masonry. To maintain the life of the coating, avoid using abrasive tools or cleaners that could strip the Zinc Yellow Passivation. Regularly inspect the eyelet for signs of deformation if used for high-frequency or heavy-duty load applications.
