Stainless Steel Eyelet with Metal Washer 40.5 mm / 1.59 in Inner Diameter, 25 Pieces Pack ER0066PPK

Large Stainless Steel Eyelet for Heavy-Duty Textile Applications

This stainless steel eyelet with metal washer is designed for heavy-duty applications that require a large reinforced opening. It can be used on tarps, truck tarpaulins, tents, awnings, curtains, shade systems, vinyl banners, heavy canvas, technical textiles, leather panels and reinforced fabric surfaces.

The eyelet and washer work together to reinforce the hole area. When installed correctly, the metal washer helps grip the material over a wider surface and reduces the risk of fraying, tearing or deformation around the opening.

Important Installation Note

This is not a small garment eyelet. It is a large stainless steel grommet with a metal washer and requires high closing force. In thick tarpaulin, multi-layer canvas, hard technical textile or leather applications, a small tabletop hand press may not have enough power to close the eyelet and washer evenly.

For proper installation, use the compatible 40 mm / 1.57 in Eyelet Setting Die. If the material hole must be prepared before installation, use the matching 40 mm / 1.57 in Eyelet Punching Die. For stronger application force, a manual impact press, lever press, motorized press or professional eyelet installation machine should be considered.

A suitable hand-striking setting tool may also be used for small quantities or field-type applications. However, for this large stainless eyelet size, hand-striking may be slower and less consistent than press installation. Always test with the real material, real washer and selected tool before production.

Setting Die and Punching Die Are Different Tools

Eyelet installation has two separate steps. First, the material hole is prepared. Then, the eyelet capsule and washer are set into the material. A punching die prepares the hole; a setting die closes the eyelet and washer. These tools should not be confused.

If the hole is too small, the eyelet may not seat correctly. If the hole is too large, the material grip may weaken and the eyelet may rotate or pull out under tension. For tarps, tents, awnings and heavy technical textiles, the material thickness must be matched with the eyelet height before production.

When to Choose Stainless Steel

Stainless steel eyelets are suitable when better resistance to standard outdoor moisture, rain and everyday humidity is needed. However, prolonged exposure to sea salt, chlorides or harsh chemicals may still cause corrosion risk over time. For marine, poolside or chemical-contact environments, final material suitability should be checked separately.

Common Questions Before Ordering

What is the inner diameter of this eyelet?

The eyelet capsule inner diameter is 40.5 mm / 1.59 in.

Is the washer included?

Yes. The product is sold as eyelet capsule and metal washer sets. You do not need to purchase a separate washer for this pack.

Can it be installed with a small hand press?

In some applications, a small hand press may not provide enough force for this large stainless steel eyelet with metal washer. A stronger impact press, lever press, professional machine or suitable hand-striking setting tool should be selected after testing.

Which die is required?

A compatible 40 mm / 1.57 in eyelet setting die is required for installation. A separate punching die or hole preparation tool is required if the material hole is not already prepared.

Can it be used for tarps and tents?

Yes. It is suitable for tarps, truck tarpaulins, tents, awnings, curtains, banners, technical textiles and leather applications after testing material thickness and setting force.

Is stainless steel completely corrosion-proof in marine environments?

Stainless steel provides better resistance to standard moisture, but prolonged exposure to sea salt, chlorides or harsh chemicals may still create corrosion risk.

Can a hand-striking setting tool be used?

It may be used for small quantities or field applications if the correct tool size is selected. For production consistency, a stronger press and correct setting die are usually safer.
