Galvanized Eyelet with Metal Washer 39.5 mm / 1.56 in Inner Diameter DT00066

Large Galvanized Eyelet for Tarps and Heavy Technical Textiles

This galvanized metal eyelet with metal washer is designed for large reinforced openings in tarps, truck covers, stage banners, industrial curtains, awnings, large banners, carrier bags, bags, fair equipment, vinyl prints, heavy canvas and technical textile applications. It is used where ropes, hooks, cords, tensioning accessories or fixing hardware need to pass through the material.

The eyelet and washer work together to reinforce the hole area. When installed correctly, the metal washer supports the back side of the material and helps the eyelet grip a wider surface. This is especially important for wide and heavy materials that are pulled, tensioned or fixed outdoors.

Important Installation Note

This is not a small garment eyelet. It is a large galvanized grommet with a metal washer and a high capsule, so it requires strong and even closing force. In thick tarpaulin, multi-layer canvas, stiff technical textile or leather applications, a small tabletop hand press may not 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 setting, use the matching 40 mm / 1.57 in Eyelet Punching Die or another suitable hole preparation tool. For applications where a small hand press lacks power, a manual impact press, lever press, motorized press or professional grommet setting machine should be considered.

A suitable hand-striking setting tool may be used for small quantities or field-type applications when the correct size is available. For production work, a stronger press and correct setting die usually provide a more repeatable and secure setting result.

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, truck covers, awnings and industrial curtains, the material thickness must be matched with the eyelet height before production.

When to Choose Galvanized Eyelets

Galvanized eyelets are suitable when a durable and economical metal grommet is needed for heavy textile and tarp applications. They can be a cost-effective alternative to stainless steel eyelets in many standard outdoor uses.

Galvanized coating improves resistance to moisture, but it should not be treated as identical to stainless steel. Long exposure to sea salt, chlorides, harsh chemicals or damaged coating may increase corrosion risk. For marine or chemical-contact applications, stainless steel alternatives should be evaluated separately.

Common Questions Before Ordering

What is the inner diameter of this eyelet?

The eyelet capsule inner diameter is 39.5 mm / 1.56 in.

Is the metal washer included?

Yes. The pack includes eyelet capsules and metal washers. It is sold as 1000 pieces per pack.

Can it be installed with a small hand press?

In some thin and suitable materials it may be tested, but this large galvanized eyelet may require more force than a small hand press can provide. A stronger manual impact press, professional machine or suitable hand-striking setting tool should be considered.

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 truck covers?

Yes. It is suitable for tarps, truck covers, stage banners, industrial curtains, awnings, carrier bags, large banners and technical textiles after testing material thickness and setting force.

Is galvanized metal the same as stainless steel?

No. Galvanized metal is coated for improved resistance, while stainless steel has a different material structure. For marine, salt or chemical exposure, stainless alternatives should be evaluated.

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 consistent production, a stronger press and correct setting die are usually safer.
