40.5 mm / 1.59 in Stainless Eyelet with Metal Washer for Large Openings
This stainless steel eyelet with metal washer is designed for large reinforced openings in curtains, tarps, truck covers, tents, awnings, shade systems, banners, vinyl prints, outdoor gear, leather, bags, luggage, footwear and technical textiles. It is used where cords, ropes, hooks, tensioning accessories or fixing hardware pass through the material.

Why the Metal Washer Is Important
The metal washer helps distribute force across the back side of the material. This support is important for tarps, tents, awnings, curtains, banners and technical textiles where the eyelet may be pulled or tensioned during use.
Important: The eyelet capsule, metal washer, hole size, material thickness and setting force must be matched correctly. A wrong hole size or weak press force may cause uneven closing, rotation or pull-out under load.
Installation Requires Enough Force
This is a large eyelet, not a small garment grommet. Thick tarpaulin, dense curtain fabric, multilayer canvas, stiff technical textile or leather may require more force than a small hand press can provide.
A compatible 40 mm / 1.57 in Eyelet Setting Die is required for installation. If the material hole needs to be prepared before setting, use a 40 mm / 1.57 in Eyelet Punching Die or a suitable hole cutter. For stronger applications, use a manual impact press, lever press, motorized press or professional eyelet setting machine.
A hand-striking setting tool may be used for small quantities or field-type applications when the correct size is available. For consistent production, a stronger press with correct die alignment is usually safer.
