Ring bolt is a special fastener, which is characterized by a forged metal ring at one end and a standard threaded rod at the bottom. The second larger metal ring is interlocked with the first forged ring. The second ring allows the object to be firmly fixed on the ring bolt, but still maintains a certain degree of flexibility. The design of the ring bolt allows the second one to rotate or articulate around the handle, thus being able to accommodate multiple angles of force. Worker these bolts can be used in many applications, including residential and commercial projects. They are usually installed underground to help secure the cover or tarpaulin to the equipment. They can also be installed on truck beds or boats to fix special covers in place. Ring bolts can also be used to connect support cables or tie wires to the ground, such as those used to support tents or awnings. Before installing the ring bolt, the user must take the time to select the correct bolt for each application. These bolts may be different in size and diameter, which will affect strength and holding power. Thicker bolts and heavier structures can usually bear more loads than smaller bolts. The size of the ring should also match the object to be fastened, whether it is a link, a cable or other fasteners. Finally, users should evaluate different materials, such as steel or brass, and find the materials that best meet the needs of the project. Installation For ring bolts, the user must first pre-drill a hole large enough to accommodate the rod of the bolt. Bolts can be screwed in by hand, wrench or pliers. If bolts are used in applications where the rod ends are exposed, nuts are usually used to fix them in place. Depending on the application, these bolts may be used for various materials from wood to masonry. Although ring bolts and standard eyebolts have many common characteristics, these two fasteners are designed for different types of projects. The eyebolt has a ring forged to the top of the rod, while the ring bolt has an additional ring hinged around the first forged ring. This means that the design of the ring bolt can bear the force from directly above or below, while the ring bolt can bear the force from an angle. The hinged ring on the ring bolt means that the fastener is unlikely to bend or fail when subjected to wrestling.
