Thimble Eyelet

Thimble eyelets are heavy-duty hardware fittings used in utility, telecom, and guying systems to connect guy wires or messenger strands to bolts and pole hardware. They combine a smooth, rounded thimble groove that protects the wire from abrasion with an integrated eyelet designed to fit under a bolt head or nut, creating a secure and durable attachment point.

Designed for outdoor pole-line environments, thimble eyelets help distribute load evenly while reducing wear on guy wires. Their forged construction and protective finish make them well suited for long-term exposure in demanding field conditions.

Several configurations are available to match different guying layouts and installation requirements:

• Straight Thimble Eyelets: Used for straight-away or span guy applications where the wire runs in line with the bolt. Commonly compatible with 5/8" or 3/4" bolts.
• Angle Thimble Eyelets: Designed for down guys or angled departures from the pole, featuring an offset eye that accommodates directional changes.
• Standard (Non-Thimble) Eyelets: Similar fittings without the wide thimble groove, typically used for dead-ending when a separate thimble is installed.

Thimble eyelets are typically forged from high-strength carbon steel, such as AISI 1018, to provide excellent mechanical performance under load. They are hot-dip galvanized to resist corrosion, creating a durable zinc coating that protects against weather and environmental exposure.

• Forged carbon steel construction for high strength and durability
• Hot-dip galvanized finish for long-term corrosion resistance
• Smooth thimble groove reduces wire wear and abrasion
• Secure eyelet connection for bolts and pole hardware
• Available in straight, angle, and standard configurations

Common applications include utility pole guying, telecom line support, messenger strand anchoring, and general outdoor structural connections. Their robust design helps maintain system integrity while minimizing maintenance requirements.
