Hot Dip Galvanizing Pigtail Bolt

Pigtail bolt

Pigtail bolt is also called pigtail eye bolt, pigtail hook, pigtail screw, pigtail hook screws, pigtail fastener, it’s one kind of pigtail hardware.

SMICO pigtail bolt is designed for use on wooden poles, concrete or other power line poles to hang the dead end clamp or suspension clamp. Because the helical end of the pigtail bolt is like the “ pigtail”, so it was called a pigtail bolt or pigtail hook.

The pigtail bolt does not have the same shape and structure. The pigtail bolt used in Kenya and Zambia is a welded square washer or round washer on the neck of the pigtail hook. The pigtail bolt used in Malaysia has two extra forged points, on the left and right sides of the neck pigtail hook. This design prevents the washer from dropping off.

The complete set of a pigtail hook usually includes one piece of pigtail hook main body, two hex nuts, and two washers.

When the pigtail screw is installed on the wooden pole or concrete pole, the hex nuts and washers are used to fasten the end on one side of the pole. The other pigtail end is used to link the suspension clamp.

There is also a pigtail bolt without a screw, it’s only with a round end.

Compared to other pigtail eye bolt manufacturers, SMICO delivers a large variety of pigtail eye bolt designs to end-users, from varying rod diameter, thread length to structures. SMICO eyebolts are ideal for electric transmission, communication lines, and train lines.
