Large Stainless Steel Eyelet for Drapery, Tarps and Technical Textiles
This 28 mm / 1.10 in stainless steel eyelet is designed for wide reinforced openings in drapery, curtains, stage curtains, tarps, truck covers, awnings, tents, shade systems, vinyl banners, heavy canvas and technical textiles. It is used where cords, rods, hooks, ropes or tensioning accessories need to pass through the material.
The large inner diameter makes it different from small garment eyelets. It is suitable for projects where the opening must stay clean, stable and visually neat on thick or wide fabric surfaces.

Important: Plastic Washer Option
These eyelet capsules are sold with a plastic washer option. Washer type must be checked before ordering, especially if the final product requires a metal washer for stronger back-side support.
A plastic washer may be suitable for many curtain, drapery and decorative textile applications. For heavy tarps, tents, awnings and high-tension technical fabrics, washer type becomes a critical part of the installation. The eyelet, washer, hole size, material thickness and setting force must work together.
Important: Wrong washer selection, wrong hole size or weak setting force may cause uneven closing, rotation or pull-out under load.
Installation Requires the Correct Die
No 34 eyelets must be installed with a compatible setting die. Use the 28 mm / 1.10 in Eyelet Setting Die for installation. If the material hole needs to be prepared before setting, use a 28 mm / 1.10 in punching die or a suitable hole cutter.
Installation Warning: This is a large eyelet, not a small garment grommet. Thick tarpaulin, dense drapery, multilayer canvas or stiff technical textiles may require stronger press force than a basic hand press can provide.
It can be applied with a hand press, lever machine, motorized machine or automatic machine when the correct die is used. For small quantities or field applications, a suitable hand-striking setting tool may be considered. For repeatable production, press installation with correct die alignment is safer.
When to Choose Stainless Steel
Stainless steel eyelets are suitable when better resistance to standard moisture, rain and everyday washing is needed. They are commonly selected for curtains, drapery, outdoor textile, tarp and awning applications where rust marks on fabric would be a problem.
Important: Stainless steel provides better resistance to standard moisture, but long exposure to sea salt, chlorides or harsh chemicals may still create corrosion risk. For marine, poolside or chemical-contact environments, final suitability should be checked separately.
