5/8" & 3/4" Oval Eye Nut ANSI/IEEE C135.80 Drop Forged Steel Hot Dip Galvanized for Pole Line Guying
Description
Oval Eye Nut – Drop Forged Pole Line Hardware Supplier | YOKELINK
YOKELINK Oval Eye Nuts are heavy-duty pole line fittings designed for deadending, back guying, pole head guying and guy wire connections in overhead electrical distribution systems.
The eye nut is manufactured from drop-forged steel and supplied with a hot-dip galvanized finish for long-term outdoor corrosion protection. The internally threaded base allows the eye nut to be installed onto compatible crossarm bolts, through bolts and other threaded pole-line fasteners.
YOKELINK supplies Oval Eye Nuts in 5/8" and 3/4" bolt sizes, with manufacturing and dimensional requirements based on ANSI/IEEE Std C135.80 and galvanizing to ASTM A153 requirements. YOKELINK's existing pole-line products use the same forged-steel/HDG construction approach for outdoor utility applications.

Key Features
1. Drop Forged Steel Construction
The Oval Eye Nut is manufactured by a drop-forging process, producing a one-piece forged body suitable for demanding pole-line applications. Forged construction avoids the welded joint associated with fabricated alternatives and provides a robust load-transfer path through the eye and threaded body.
2. ANSI/IEEE Std C135.80
Designed for pole-line hardware applications with dimensional and manufacturing requirements based on ANSI/IEEE Std C135.80.
3. ASTM A153 Hot Dip Galvanized
The complete steel component is hot-dip galvanized to provide corrosion protection for long-term outdoor installation. ASTM A153 is used by YOKELINK for galvanized iron and steel pole-line hardware. Yokelink
4. Heavy-Duty Oval Eye Design
The large oval opening provides sufficient space for compatible guying hardware and pole-line connections, while its forged profile distributes load through the body of the fitting.
5. 5/8" and 3/4" Thread Sizes
Two common utility hardware sizes are available:
5/8" – D0158
3/4" – D0134
This makes the product suitable for matching commonly used pole-line through bolts and crossarm hardware.
6. Outdoor Utility Construction
The combination of forged steel + hot-dip galvanizing makes the product particularly suitable for overhead distribution networks, wooden utility poles and other outdoor pole-line installations.
Oval Eye Nut Performance
The primary function of an Oval Eye Nut is to provide a secure mechanical attachment point at the threaded end of a pole-line bolt. During guying or deadending service, the mechanical load is transferred from the connected guying hardware through the forged eye body into the threaded connection and supporting bolt.
Important performance characteristics include:
Mechanical Strength: One-piece drop-forged construction provides a robust structure for pole-line loading.
Load Distribution: The forged oval eye provides a continuous load path around the eye opening.
Thread Engagement: Precisely formed internal threads provide stable engagement with the corresponding bolt.
Corrosion Resistance: Hot-dip zinc coating protects the steel substrate from atmospheric corrosion during outdoor service.
Dimensional Consistency: Controlled forging and machining help maintain eye dimensions, thread dimensions and overall geometry between production batches.
Long-Term Outdoor Service: Designed for overhead utility infrastructure exposed to rain, humidity, temperature changes and other environmental conditions.
For project-specific minimum tensile/breaking loads, the value should be stated according to the applicable drawing, customer specification and validated test report rather than applying an Oval Eye Bolt load rating to the Oval Eye Nut.
Oval Eye Nut Applications
Utility Pole Guying
Oval Eye Nuts can be installed on the threaded end of a through bolt to provide an attachment point for pole guying hardware.
Back Guying
Used as part of a back-guy arrangement to transfer guy-wire forces to the pole structure and associated hardware.
Pole Head Guying
Suitable for pole-head guy arrangements where an eye connection is required at the end of a threaded pole-line bolt.
Deadending
Used with compatible deadend and guying components in overhead electrical distribution construction.
Crossarm & Pole Hardware Connection
The threaded eye nut can be combined with suitable crossarm bolts, through bolts and related pole-line fasteners to form a complete attachment system.
YOKELINK's pole-line hardware documentation similarly identifies guying, deadending, clevis and related utility-pole connections as core applications for its forged eye hardware. Yokelink

YOKELINK Oval Eye Nut Production Process
For the product detail page, I recommend showing the manufacturing process as:
Raw Material → Cutting → Heating → Drop Forging → Trimming → Thread Machining/Tapping → Deburring → Dimensional Inspection → Hot Dip Galvanizing → Coating Inspection → Thread Inspection → Mechanical Testing → Final Inspection → Packing
01. Raw Material Inspection
Steel raw materials are checked before production for material specification and traceability.
02. Material Cutting
Steel billets are cut to the required forging weight and dimensions.
03. Heating
The billet is heated to the required forging temperature to prepare it for forming.
04. Drop Forging
The heated billet is forged in dedicated dies to form the integrated oval eye and nut body.
05. Trimming & Finishing
Excess flash from the forging operation is removed and the body is cleaned and finished.
06. Thread Processing
Internal threads are machined/tapped according to the specified 5/8" or 3/4" configuration.
07. Hot Dip Galvanizing
Finished steel components are hot-dip galvanized for outdoor corrosion protection.
08. Final Inspection
Dimensions, threads, appearance and zinc coating are inspected before packing.
YOKELINK describes hot forging, trimming, machining/thread processing, galvanizing and final inspection as key stages in its current forged pole-line hardware manufacturing process. Yokelink
YOKELINK Quality Control & Testing
YOKELINK can present the QC process around these checkpoints:
Raw Material Inspection — Verify incoming material specifications and raw-material traceability.
Forging Inspection — Check the forged body for incomplete filling, excessive flash, deformation and visible forging defects.
Dimensional Inspection — Verify critical dimensions including A, B, C, D and threaded-hole dimensions against the approved drawing.
Thread Inspection — Use suitable thread gauges to verify thread size and fit.
Coating Thickness Inspection — Measure the hot-dip galvanized coating to verify conformity with the specified galvanizing requirements.
Visual Surface Inspection — Check galvanized surfaces for unacceptable bare areas, excessive buildup or other visible coating defects.
Mechanical / Load Testing — Mechanical testing can be performed according to applicable product specifications, approved drawings and customer requirements.
Final Inspection Report — Production batches can be supported by inspection documentation according to order requirements.
YOKELINK's current quality documentation states that its pole-line hardware inspection capabilities include mechanical/tensile testing, dimensional inspection, hardness and coating-thickness checks, with material and inspection documentation used for traceability. Yokelink

Q4: How much tension can a 5/8" drop-forged Oval Eye Nut withstand?
A: The holding capacity of a utility-grade eye nut is engineered to meet or exceed the minimum tensile strength of the corresponding bolt it attaches to. For a standard 5/8" drop-forged oval eye nut compliant with IEEE C135.80, it is designed to easily match or surpass the 13,500 lbs minimum tensile strength requirement of a standard 5/8" utility machine bolt or double arming bolt, ensuring the nut is never the weak link in your deadend assembly.
Q5: Can I attach an Oval Eye Nut directly to the top of an Anchor Rod?
A: Yes, Oval Eye Nuts are frequently threaded onto the above-ground end of standard threaded anchor rods. However, there is a critical distinction: you should only use an Oval Eye Nut if you are attaching a clevis, shackle, or insulator to the anchor rod. If your design requires the steel guy wire to be wrapped directly through the eye, you must use a Thimble Eye Nut instead, which has a contoured groove to prevent the guy wire from kinking and breaking under high tension.
