Screw kit Fischer 90944 100 mm Zinc plated steel 2 pcs

The Fischer 90944 screw kit contains two zinc-plated steel eye screws, each 100 mm long with an 8 mm thread diameter, designed primarily for use with wood and for anchoring with appropriate plugs in masonry. These eye screws are suitable for fixing ropes, chains, clothes lines and lightweight hanging items. The weld at the eye prevents opening under load, and the zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor applications.

Advantages

The combination of the eye screw and compatible Fischer plugs achieves a high load-bearing capacity when installed correctly, increasing safety for suspended loads. The high-quality weld secures the eye loop and prevents deformation or opening under normal working loads. Zinc-plated steel construction offers durability and basic corrosion protection, while the 8 mm thread diameter provides a reliable connection in timber and when used with recommended anchors in masonry.

Suitable for

• Fixing ropes and cords
• Hanging chains and light fixtures
• Clothes lines and drying systems
• Hanging baskets and decorative planters
• Light trellis and garden applications

When it may not be suitable

These eye screws are not intended for heavy structural loads or overhead lifting where certified load-rated hardware is required. For long-term outdoor exposure in harsh environments or corrosive conditions, zinc plating may not provide sufficient protection; stainless steel fasteners would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Material: Zinc-plated steel
• Quantity: 2 pieces per kit
• Length: 100 mm
• Thread diameter: 8 mm
• Head type: Eye screw (closed loop)
• Recommended use: Wood (direct), masonry with appropriate plugs

How to use

For timber applications, pre-drill a pilot hole sized to the screw's minor diameter, then drive the eye screw into the wood until the shoulder is flush with the surface. For masonry, select the appropriate Fischer plug (for example S 12 R for solid substrates or S 14 HR for perforated substrates), drill the hole to the plug's recommended diameter and depth, insert the plug, and then screw the eye screw into the plug until secure. Ensure alignment and that the eye faces the intended load direction before final tightening.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended substrate: wood allows direct use; masonry requires matching Fischer plugs
• Load requirements: not certified for heavy lifting—use load-rated anchors for safety-critical applications
• Environmental exposure: zinc plating is suitable for indoor or sheltered outdoor use; consider stainless steel for corrosive environments
• Compatible plug types for masonry: choose plugs recommended for solid or perforated materials

Usage recommendations

Use the Fischer eye screw GS 8 together with the appropriate Fischer plug to achieve the intended load-bearing performance in masonry. When installing in wood, ensure a correct pilot hole and avoid over-tightening to maintain thread engagement and the integrity of the weld.
