Electro-Voice Bolt

The Electro-Voice Bolt Eyebolt is engineered for secure rigging and reliable mounting in professional audio and stage setups. This heavy-duty eyebolt combines precision forging with a corrosion-resistant finish to deliver a dependable anchor point for cables, chains, and rigging hardware. Designed for environments where safety matters, the Electro-Voice Bolt Eyebolt offers consistent performance across indoor venues, outdoor installations, and studio environments. Whether you’re suspending lighting rigs, securing microphone lines, or creating overhead anchors for temporary structures, this eyebolt delivers dependable strength and stable operation.

• Premium strength and safety — The Bolt Eyebolt is forged from high-grade steel to maximize tensile strength while maintaining a compact profile. It is designed to handle heavy loads when installed in accordance with correct load ratings. The shoulder and thread engagement are engineered to minimize bending under load, and the design keeps the load path aligned with the bolt axis for maximum safety. Available in multiple sizes, each SKU carries its own working load limit; always select the size that matches your anchor point and application. This makes it ideal for rigging microphones, stage lighting, or decorative fixtures in venues and studios, where reliability matters most.
• Durable construction and corrosion resistance — A zinc-plated finish protects against rust and wear in challenging environments, whether you’re rigging in a damp stage setting, outdoor installation, or workshop. The combination of forged steel and protective coating extends service life, reduces maintenance, and preserves performance over time. The finish helps resist oxidation and ensures consistent appearance even after repeated installations, so your rigging remains dependable season after season.
• Versatile mounting options — Eyebolt design accepts cables, ropes, and chains with standard connectors; the internal threading and shoulder design facilitate clean, secure attachment to mounting surfaces. Use with a swivel eye or carabiner for smoother rigging and to reduce line twisting. It’s suitable for anchor points in wood, metal, or concrete when used with appropriate inserts or threaded anchors. The Electro-Voice Bolt Eyebolt integrates seamlessly with stage hardware, lighting grids, camera rigs, and permanent installations in studios, performance venues, and industrial spaces.
• Easy installation and maintenance — Simple to install with basic tools, the eyebolt threads into compatible hardware or mounting points. When used in through-bolt configurations, pair with washers and locknuts for added security. Periodic checks ensure the eyebolt remains straight with no bending or deformation. Routine inspection is recommended to verify thread engagement, ensure there’s no corrosion, and confirm that the load path remains aligned with the bolt axis. With proper care, this eyebolt maintains performance across many events and productions.
• Industry standards and warranty — Electro-Voice designs the Bolt Eyebolt to meet stringent rigging and mounting standards, providing a reliable anchor for your audio, lighting, and rigging setups. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, giving studios and venues confidence to rely on the eyebolts during tours, broadcasts, and installations. Whether you’re upgrading a venue’s rigging or building a custom mount for a pro audio rig, this eyebolt is engineered to deliver long-term dependability and peace of mind.

How to Install Electro-Voice Bolt Eyebolt

Safe and reliable installation begins with selecting the correct eyebolt size and ensuring the mounting point can support the expected load. Follow these steps to install the Electro-Voice Bolt Eyebolt properly and safely, whether you’re anchoring in wood, metal, or concrete structures.

• Step 1 — Choose the right size and thread: Select the eyebolt size and thread type that match your mounting point and the anticipated load. Verify that the working load limit (WLL) exceeds the maximum force you plan to apply. If you’re unsure, consult the SKU-specific specifications for precise numbers.
• Step 2 — Inspect the anchor point: Examine the mounting surface for cracks, corrosion, or wear. The anchor must be structurally sound to ensure safety. Clean any debris from the hole or mounting area to promote clean engagement.
• Step 3 — Prepare the mounting area: For wood, pre-drill a pilot hole that aligns with the eyebolt’s thread size. For metal, ensure a tapped hole or appropriate insert is in place. For concrete, use a compatible anchor system per code. Do not force the eyebolt into a damaged or undersized hole, and never rely on the eyebolt alone for support in compromised material.
• Step 4 — Insert and tighten: Thread the eyebolt in by hand to ensure true alignment, then tighten with a wrench to the manufacturer’s recommended torque. The shoulder should sit flush against the mounting surface with minimal play. Avoid overtightening, which can strip threads or damage the anchor point.
• Step 5 — Attach the load securely: Connect cables, ropes, or chains using a swivel, carabiner, or appropriate connector. Use a washer if required to prevent galling or loosening. Ensure the load path remains in line with the eyebolt’s axis to maximize strength and safety. Periodically inspect the connection for wear, corrosion, or loosening, and retighten if necessary.
• Step 6 — Final checks: After installation, test the anchor with a gradual load to confirm stability. Check that there is no undue movement, twist, or bending when subjected to load. For through-bolt configurations, secure with a lock washer or nut on the opposite side if the design calls for it.
