Jaw-Eye Turnbuckles

Jaw-eye turnbuckles are a three piece assembly that consists of a jaw end fitting, an eye end fitting, and a turnbuckle body. The turnbuckle body is left hand threaded on one end and right hand threaded at the opposite end. Slack is removed from the rigging assembly and tension is adjusted by turning only the turnbuckle body, drawing both end fittings into the body simultaneously. The jaw and eye end fittings are threaded opposite, also. Jaw end fittings allow for quick attachment to mating hardware that cannot open such as, wire rope eyes, chains or eye bolts. Eye end fittings provide a secure point of attachment.

Turnbuckles are not intended for lifting as they are designed to take up slack and apply tension for support or suspension, or to adjust the length of rope, cable, or tie rods. U.S. Federal Specification FF-T-791B provides specifications for eight classes of turnbuckle components including untapped bodies, tapped bodies, stub/stub, eye/eye, hook/hook, eye/jaw, eye/hook, and eye/jaw. Choose from galvanized steel, die-cast, or corrosion resistant stainless steel.
