Pleated Fly Screen Eyelet 5.3 mm / 0.209 in Inner Diameter Steel with Washer 250 Pieces/Pack KSAC0003Sin

Pleated Fly Screen Eyelet 5.3 mm / 0.209 in Inner Diameter Steel with Washer

This pleated fly screen eyelet is a small but important steel component used to reinforce cord passage points on PVC strips or connection bands. In pleated fly screen and pleated blind systems, the operating cord moves repeatedly through the same points. A correctly selected eyelet helps reduce direct friction between the cord and the PVC edge, strengthens the passage point and supports smoother system movement.

This product belongs to the 5–5.5 mm / 0.197–0.217 in eyelet class. Its current measured dimensions are approximately 5.3 mm / 0.209 in inner diameter, 9.2 mm / 0.362 in outer diameter and 6 mm / 0.236 in barrel height. Before using it in pleated screen production, the PVC strip thickness, cord diameter, hole size, washer type and setting die compatibility should be checked together.

When Should This Eyelet Be Selected?

• For reinforcing cord passage points on PVC strips in pleated fly screen production.
• For pleated blind and accordion-style screen systems that require a small steel eyelet.
• For fly screen repair workshops replacing worn or damaged cord passage eyelets.
• For reducing direct friction between the operating cord and the PVC strip edge.
• For workshops using the 5–5.5 mm / 0.197–0.217 in eyelet class as a standard stock size.

Technical Measurement Table

Why Measurement Control Matters in Pleated Screen Applications

In a pleated fly screen system, the eyelet is not mainly decorative. Its role is to create a cleaner and stronger cord passage point. If the inner diameter is too small, the cord may jam or wear faster. If the eyelet is too loose for the prepared hole, it may rotate on the PVC strip. If the barrel height does not match the strip thickness and washer structure, the assembled eyelet may loosen or deform the material.

Punching Die and Setting Die Compatibility

Eyelet installation includes two different steps. A punching die prepares the hole where the eyelet will pass through the material. A setting die closes the eyelet and washer onto the surface. These two tools should not be treated as the same product.

For this 5–5.5 mm / 0.197–0.217 in eyelet class, the 5 mm / 0.197 in eyelet hole punching die and the 5–5.6 mm / 0.197–0.220 in eyelet setting die should be checked together. For repeated workshop production, a press solution from the setting dies, fastening molds and application tools category should also be reviewed according to the selected die connection.

Products and Categories to Review Together

• Eyelets and grommets — for comparing materials, shapes, barrel types and washer options
• Grommet setting dies and application tools — for choosing the correct setting die
• Grommet punching dies — for preparing the correct hole before setting
• 5–5.6 mm / 0.197–0.220 in eyelet setting die — for the setting step of this size class
• 5 mm / 0.197 in eyelet hole punching die — for hole preparation before installation

Wrong Selection and Assembly Warning

Metal Washer or Plastic Washer?

A metal washer may provide stronger holding performance in some workshop applications. A plastic washer may be preferred depending on the PVC strip, material thickness and system structure. For pleated fly screen applications, the eyelet, washer and setting die should be tested together on the actual PVC strip before serial production.

Real Usage Areas

• Pleated fly screen production
• Pleated blind systems
• Pleated screen repair
• Accordion-style fly screen systems
• Fly screen manufacturing workshops
• Special technical systems with cord passage through PVC strips
• Small textile and accessory applications requiring a 5–5.5 mm / 0.197–0.217 in eyelet class

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this eyelet be used for pleated fly screens?

This 5–5.5 mm / 0.197–0.217 in class steel eyelet is a suitable candidate for pleated fly screen and pleated blind applications. Final compatibility should be checked with the PVC strip, cord diameter, washer and setting die.

What is the real inner diameter of this eyelet?

The current product measurement is approximately 5.3 mm / 0.209 in inner diameter, 9.2 mm / 0.362 in outer diameter and 6 mm / 0.236 in barrel height.

Is a 5 mm / 0.197 in eyelet the same as a 5.5 mm / 0.217 in eyelet?

They should not be treated as identical without measurement control. Eyelets in the 5–5.5 mm / 0.197–0.217 in class may have different inner diameters, outer diameters and barrel heights depending on the manufacturer.

Which die should be checked for this eyelet?

For hole preparation, a 5 mm / 0.197 in eyelet hole punching die should be reviewed. For setting, a 5–5.6 mm / 0.197–0.220 in eyelet setting die should be checked. Die compatibility should always be tested on a sample.

Should I choose a metal washer?

A metal washer may provide stronger holding performance, but the final choice depends on the PVC strip, material thickness, setting die and system structure. Testing before production is recommended.

Does this eyelet fit every pleated fly screen system?

No. Pleated fly screen systems may use different PVC strip widths, strip thicknesses, cord diameters and hole structures. Even if the size class seems suitable, final approval should be based on sample testing.
