Wichard Double Folding Pad Eye 10mm Diameter

The Wichard double folding pad eye gives a strong deck attachment point that can fold down when not in use to reduce protrusion and snagging hazards. Its drop-forged construction is built to maintain published working and breaking loads across different load angles, so it is appropriate for compatible stays, blocks, jib tack points, and other fastening applications.

316L stainless-steel construction gives corrosion resistance, while the double-eye arrangement can accommodate several compatible stays or attachments. A silicon pad beneath the folding hardware helps reduce noise and vibration when the eye is stowed, and the low folded profile improves deck usability around the fitting.

Confirm the 10mm eye diameter, mounting footprint, working load, breaking load, load direction, deck structure, backing requirements, and connected hardware before installation. Use appropriate through-bolting and backing for the expected loads. Inspect the pad eye, fasteners, deck laminate, hinge areas, and connected fittings regularly for movement, wear, or corrosion.

• The low stowed profile reduces protrusion and potential snagging.
• Forged construction is designed around published capacity regardless of load angle.
• The double-eye design gives additional connection options.
• A silicon pad cushions the folded hardware against the mounting surface.
