W500 5" I-Lag™ Eye Lag Screw for Wood

The W500 eye lag screw provides a direct anchor point for ceiling wire or jack chain on timber framing. Its long body, open eyelet, and Type A wood thread create a defined attachment location in joists and wood members, supporting orderly overhead drops. The clean electroplated zinc surface is suited to dry indoor work and helps prevent oily transfer to gloves, driving tools, wire, and finished materials.

We stock the W500 eye lag screw in 100-piece boxes and master cartons containing ten 100-piece boxes, allowing crews to stage hardware for either a limited layout or a large framing package. It is intended for tension-only use. Confirm the support configuration, spacing, wood condition, load, approved installation method, and local requirements before work begins. Hook and Hanger supplies this hardware for overhead support applications, not as a replacement for project-specific engineering.

Establishing Stable Wiring Paths with the W500 Fastener Series

The 1/4-inch nominal Type A thread profile is designed to penetrate suitable wood framing and maintain engagement under a suspended tension load. Its 5-inch overall length gives installers a long shank for placing the fastener through board surfaces and into structural wood, while the threaded section creates the holding interface. The open eyelet provides a repeatable route for wire or jack chain, helping crews establish drop points that align with the planned cable management route.

The electroplated zinc finish is for dry, indoor applications and leaves no oily film on the part. This is useful when crews are handling wire, tools, and layout marks throughout the shift. The W500 eye lag screw is RoHS compliant, American Recovery Act compliant, and produced in an ISO 9001-approved factory. These designations can support material review and procurement records, but they do not replace project specifications, inspections, or local code provisions.

Sizing and Technical Specifications for the W500 Eye Lag Screw Series

Use the following specifications to confirm fit with the planned wood-framing workflow:

• 5-inch overall profile: The total length measures exactly 5 inches to establish deep structural engagement in suitable wood surfaces.

• Extended thread pitch: It includes a minimum of 1-1/2 inches of aggressive thread for a continuous gripping area in the wood.

• 1/4-inch nominal gauge: The fastener uses a 1/4-inch nominal Type A thread-size diameter for standard overhead wood-fastening tasks.

• Clean electroplated zinc finish: The oily-residue-free zinc barrier is configured exclusively for dry, indoor applications.

• Pre-tied capability: The open eyelet allows crews to pre-tie ceiling wire or jack chain before the part is placed.

• Lagmaster® pole tool integration: The fastener works with compatible Lagmaster® pole tools, allowing floor-based installation where the approved method permits it.

• Tension-driven engineering: This eye lag is designed and rated for tension hardware applications only.

Standard Installation Procedures and Structural Integration Workflows

Confirm the framing location, drop-point spacing, and approved driving method before installing. For a suspended ceiling layout, mark each timber joist or framing member and drive the W500 eye lag screw into sound wood. Do not use it for compression, side loading, or unverified pull directions. Position the eyelet so the connected wire or chain follows its route without rubbing on sharp framing edges.

The eyelet can accept pre-tied ceiling wire, jack chain, or an approved hanging component. This supports consistent locations for low-voltage lines, fiber optic runs, and communication cabling while keeping pathways clear of members that can pinch or abrade conductors. On projects that also include steel framing or secondary support points, purlin clips, j-hooks, beam clamps, and threaded rod fasteners serve different connection roles. Select every component for its specific substrate, load direction, and approved method.

Plan the fastening sequence before materials are brought into position. Approved overhead drilling and anchoring tools and compatible extension poles can help crews reach repeated locations from the floor when the project method allows. Group hardware by room, grid line, or drop zone so counts and routes can be checked before the ceiling system is closed.

Advantages of Optimizing Overhead Wire Arrays with W500 Eye Lag Screw

The W500 eye lag screw provides practical benefits within its intended tension-only application:

• Compatible pole tools support floor-based installation methods, reducing repeated ladder or scaffold moves where permitted.

• The clean zinc treatment helps keep gloves, driving tools, and nearby materials free of oily transfer.

• RoHS and ARRA compliance can support projects with documented environmental and federal procurement requirements.

• Box quantities of 100 and master-carton quantities of 1,000 help purchasing teams stage hardware around planned layout counts.

• The open eyelet provides a direct attachment point for pre-tied wire or jack chain and consistent drop locations.

Get All Your Installation Supplies under One Roof with Hook and Hanger

Hook and Hanger supplies the W500 eye lag screw with related hardware used in commercial overhead installations. Submit the required size, quantity, application details, and delivery requirements through our online ordering process. Our team can route suitable hardware for nationwide shipping. Browse our range of eye lag screws and related connection hardware before finalizing the bill of materials.

We support field teams that need complementary components during active work. Where framing geometry changes, angle clips may be used for their intended connection task rather than as an alternative to a wood-threaded eye lag. Hook and Hanger provides direct customer support and maintains a return policy to help minimize project downtime when an unused item is not suitable for the application.
