Eye Eye Open Turnbuckles are a type of turnbuckle and are also referred to as tensioners or strainers. They are specifically suited for adjusting the tension and length of stainless steel wire rope, balustrade systems and other tensioning methods. Our Open Turnbuckles consist of two (2) threaded AISI 316 grade stainless steel Threaded Welded Eyes screwed into each end of a spun stainless steel threaded body .
The turnbuckle function works because one end of the turnbuckle body is threaded left-hand and the other threaded right-hand allowing the tension to be adjusted by rotating the body. This permits tensioning without twisting the attached stainless steel wire rope or fittings. Open Turnbuckles are specifically designed to reveal the threads within the body for an appealing rustic and industrial look.
In application,one end is normally attached to a loop (made with D-Shackles, or saddles, or snap hook, or thimbles and ferrules) that forms an 'end' on a length of wire or synthetic rope or even chain. The other end is then normally fastened to some other sort of loop or attachment point like a Bow Shackle or a Threaded Fork.
All of the hardware mentioned is available from our eBay store as a separate offer - or look at our eBay DIY kits using either manual or hydraulically swaged connectors.
In the table below - size indicates the turnbuckle size and dimensions are presented according to the included dimensional diagram.

Low Cost Wire Fittings are SuperTuff
We are proud to offer complete systems of fitting kits through our on-line channels. You have found 1 listing here and we have many others. Check our Store :-) They are available individually, as single-wire kits, as wire use kits, and as full deck kits.
We have classified our fitting kits by the type of attachment posts that are used: For example - a run of wire between two posts uses a kit that is identified as either TT (Timber-to-Timber) or MM (Metal-to-Metal). (There are of course other combinations as required - but in those cases it's best to contact us directly). If a run is 10M or under then it is a Short Run (SR) and if it is 10M to 20M long it is a Long Run (LR).

And we will happily put together a bespoke solution to your project.
