• M12 eye nut
• Multi directional loading
• Investment cast grade 316 stainless steel

The AA401 Eye Nut is a robust and versatile anchor point designed primarily for applications in concrete and steel structures. It is engineered to withstand fall arrest loads of up to 15 kN in any direction, making it suitable for industrial rope access (abseiling) and fall arrest applications.

Key Features

• Robust Design: Crafted from investment cast 316 stainless steel, the AA401 Eye Nut offers exceptional durability and corrosion resistance.
• 360° Load Capacity: Capable of supporting a fall arrest load of 15 kN in any direction when used with a suitable personal shock absorber.
• Complete Traceability: Each unit is manufactured with full traceability to ensure quality and reliability.

Installation Guidelines

The AA401 Eye Nut should be installed by trained and certified personnel in accordance with relevant standards such as AS/NZS 4488.2:1997, AS/NZS 1891.4:2009, ISO 22846 (2003), and the manufacturer’s instructions.

Tools Required

• Rotary hammer drill
• 14 mm masonry drill bit
• Air pump
• Cleaning brush

Important Considerations

• When installing through a waterproofing membrane, apply a full gasket of compatible sealant between the eye nut and the membrane to maintain the integrity of the waterproofing.
• All chemical and friction anchorages must be proof loaded before their initial use and subsequently on a regular basis to meet the requirements set out in AS/NZS 1891.4:2009 and AS/NZS 4488.2:1997.
  • Proof load the eye to 7.5 kN for fall arrest applications.
  • Proof load the eye to 6 kN for rope access applications.
• Through bolts must be visually inspected; do not proof load.
