Product Description
Crosby HG-226 Eye & Eye Turnbuckles
The Crosby HG-226 Eye & Eye Turnbuckles are precision-engineered for inline tensioning in lifting, rigging, and structural applications. Featuring forged elongated eyes, they allow for easy connection to shackles or other hardware while reducing stress at critical points. Each component is hot-dip galvanized and heat-treated to deliver dependable performance in demanding environments.
Key Features
- Forged and heat-treated construction: quenched and tempered or normalized end fittings; normalized body.
- Elongated eye design allows a shackle one size smaller to pass through for easier rigging integration.
- Modified UNJ threads on end fittings for improved fatigue life; body uses UNC threads.
- Hot-dip galvanized finish provides excellent corrosion resistance.
- Fatigue rated to 20,000 cycles at 1.5× Working Load Limit (WLL).
- Lock nuts available for all sizes.
- 5:1 design factor; proof load is 2.5× WLL.
- Complies with ASME B30.26, ASTM F-1145, and Federal Specification FF-T-791b Type 1 Form 1 Class 4.
Size & Capacity Range
- Available sizes: 5/16" x 4-1/2" through 2-3/4" x 24"
- Working Load Limit (WLL): 800 lbs to 75,000 lbs
Usage & Safety Information
- Turnbuckles are designed for straight, in-line tensioning only. Side loading or bending can cause failure.
- When used for lifting or load-bearing, threads must be fully engaged and end fittings secured to prevent unthreading under load.
- Lock nuts or other positive retention methods should be used for additional safety.
