Value Collection P20072 Split Ring 0.288 in Id 0.38 in Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20072 is a split ring fastener designed to provide reliable axial retention on shafts, pins, and cylindrical components. With an inside diameter of 0.288 inches, an outside diameter of 0.38 inches, and a thickness of 0.068 inches, this ring seats firmly in milled grooves or against shoulders to prevent unwanted axial movement of assembled components. Manufactured from Grade 2 spring steel with a zinc-plated finish, the P20072 delivers corrosion resistance alongside the spring tension required for secure, repeatable retention. It is installed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical applications.

This split ring is suited for light-duty shaft retention tasks where compact geometry is required. The small profile makes it appropriate for use in motor assemblies, pump shafts, valve stems, and similar applications found in residential and light commercial mechanical systems. Its zinc-plated finish provides a basic level of corrosion protection suitable for dry or mildly humid indoor environments. Technicians working on equipment with small-diameter shafts will find this ring fits standard machined retention grooves.

Key Features

• Inside diameter of 0.288 inches fits small-diameter shafts and pins
• Outside diameter of 0.38 inches for compact retention in tight assemblies
• Thickness of 0.068 inches provides consistent seating depth in standard grooves
• Grade 2 spring steel construction delivers reliable spring tension and retention force
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in indoor environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose split ring for light-duty shaft retention on small-diameter cylindrical components in mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Split rings of this type are typically installed and removed using snap ring pliers or a small flat tool appropriate to the ring style. Always power down and de-energize equipment before servicing shaft assemblies. Inspect the retention groove for burrs or wear before installing a new ring, as groove damage can prevent proper seating. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer service procedures and relevant mechanical codes during installation.
