Value Collection 80122211 Internal Snap Retaining Ring 7/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 80122211 is an internal snap retaining ring designed to secure components within a bored housing or bore assembly. Manufactured from spring steel with a phosphate finish, this ring seats into a machined groove to prevent axial movement of shafts, bearings, or other retained parts. It is sized for a 7/8 inch bore diameter with a nominal size of 7/8 inch, a free outer diameter of 0.971 inches, and a ring thickness of 0.042 inches. The groove it fits measures 0.046 inches wide by 0.028 inches deep. This type of fastener is a standard component in mechanical assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial applications.

Internal snap retaining rings of this size are commonly used in residential and light commercial equipment where a bore-mounted retaining solution is required. Typical applications include pump housings, fan assemblies, gearboxes, and similar rotating or reciprocating machinery. The phosphate finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance suitable for interior or protected mechanical environments. This package contains 20 rings, making it practical for service kits or bench stock.

Installation Notes

Internal snap retaining rings should be installed and removed using proper snap ring pliers sized for internal rings to avoid deforming the ring or damaging the groove. Always power down or de-energize the equipment and relieve any mechanical load or pressure before servicing the assembly. Inspect the groove dimensions against the ring specifications before installation to confirm proper fit. Reuse of snap rings that show signs of distortion or fatigue is not recommended.
