Value Collection 80122294 Internal Snap Ring 5/16 Inch 50-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 80122294 is an internal snap retaining ring designed to seat inside a bored housing and lock components axially in place. Made from spring steel with a phosphate finish, this ring resists corrosion and provides reliable retention force in both static and dynamic assemblies. It fits a 5/16 inch bore diameter with a nominal size of 5/16 inches, a free outer diameter of 0.346 inches, and a ring thickness of 0.015 inches. Mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and industrial service professionals install these rings in shafts, housings, and bores where a removable but secure axial stop is required.

This retaining ring is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies across residential and commercial applications including HVAC equipment, pumps, motors, and general industrial machinery. The groove width of 0.02 inches and groove depth of 0.009 inches are designed for precision fitment in standard internal-groove bores. Each package contains 50 rings, making this an efficient solution for production work, field service kits, or bench-stock replenishment.

Installation Notes

Internal snap rings require internal snap ring pliers for safe and correct installation and removal. Shut down and de-energize any equipment before servicing components that use retaining rings. Inspect the groove for burrs or damage before seating the ring to ensure full engagement. Never reuse a ring that has been overstressed or visibly deformed.
