FAQs
What material is the Pelican Hook Eye made from?
It is made from 316 Grade Stainless Steel, known for its superior resistance to rust and corrosion.
What is the primary use of this Pelican Hook Eye?
It is primarily used for securing guard rails, maintaining tension, and as a general securing point for chain, cargo, and cable, especially in marine environments.
What are the overall dimensions of the hook eye?
The overall length (G) is 86MM, and the height (H) is 77MM. Other specific dimensions are A=14.5MM, B=5.6MM, C=33MM, D=3.4MM, E=7MM, and F=14.5MM.
Is this hook eye suitable for heavy-duty lifting?
While robust, it is designed for tensioning and securing. For heavy-duty lifting, consult specifications for load ratings and consider purpose-built lifting hardware.
How do I clean the Pelican Hook Eye?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. A mild soap and water solution can be used for tougher grime, followed by thorough rinsing and drying to maintain its appearance and prevent corrosion.
What type of mounting hardware should I use?
You should use fasteners (screws or bolts) that are appropriate for your mounting surface and compatible with the 3.4MM eyelet (D) on the hook eye. Ensure the hardware is also corrosion-resistant for longevity.
Can this be used in saltwater environments?
Yes, 316 Grade Stainless Steel is highly resistant to saltwater corrosion, making it ideal for marine applications.
Troubleshooting
Hook eye is difficult to fasten or connect to.
Ensure you are using appropriate connecting hardware for the hook's eyelet size (D=3.4MM). Check for any debris or damage that might be obstructing the connection.
Rust or discoloration appearing on the surface.
Though highly corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to certain chemicals or highly corrosive environments may cause minor surface marks. Clean with a non-abrasive cloth and mild detergent. For significant rust, a specialized stainless steel cleaner might be needed, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
The hook eye feels loose after installation.
Re-tighten the mounting hardware. Ensure the base material is solid and can support the load. If the issue persists, the mounting hardware may be insufficient or the base material may be compromised.
