Value Collection 80122443 Internal Snap Ring 7/16 in 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 80122443 is an internal snap retaining ring designed to secure components within a bored housing by seating in a machined groove. Made from spring steel with a phosphate finish, this ring is engineered for reliable retention in applications where a 7/16 inch bore diameter is required. The free outer diameter measures 0.482 inches, and the ring thickness is 0.025 inches. Groove width is 0.029 inches with a depth of 0.012 inches. This ring ships in a pack of 50, making it practical for maintenance shops, production lines, and field service kits that require frequent stock replenishment.

Internal snap retaining rings of this size are commonly used in light mechanical assemblies, small hydraulic and pneumatic components, gearboxes, and bearing retention applications. They are typically installed by millwrights, machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers wherever a low-profile, internal groove-mounted retention solution is needed in a 7/16 inch bore. The phosphate finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and moderately controlled environments.

Key Features

• 7/16 inch nominal bore diameter for standard groove-machined housings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style internal snap retaining ring for mechanical assemblies requiring a 7/16 inch bore diameter with a machined internal groove sized to 0.029 inches wide and 0.012 inches deep.

Installation Notes

Internal snap rings require internal snap ring pliers for proper installation and removal — do not attempt to seat or extract with screwdrivers or open-tip tools, as this risks ring distortion or ejection injury. De-energize and lock out all mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic systems before disassembly. Confirm groove dimensions match ring specifications before installation to ensure proper retention and avoid ring walk or blowout under load.
