Value Collection P20074 Split Ring Zinc-plated Spring Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20074 is a split ring fastener manufactured from Grade 2 spring steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. It features an inside diameter of 0.382 inches, an outside diameter of 0.484 inches, and a thickness of 0.074 inches. Split rings of this type rely on spring tension to maintain their grip on shafts, pins, and fastener assemblies, resisting axial displacement under load. They are installed by licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service applications wherever a compact, reliable retaining solution is required.

This split ring is suited for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies where a small-diameter retaining ring is needed to secure components on a shaft or in a housing. The compact profile makes it appropriate for tight-clearance installations in residential and light commercial equipment. Its spring steel construction maintains consistent radial force across a wide range of operating conditions. Installers working on motors, fan assemblies, and similar rotating components will find this ring fits standard small-shaft applications.

Key Features

• Inside diameter of 0.382 inches suits small-diameter shaft and pin applications
• Outside diameter of 0.384 inches allows installation in tight-clearance assemblies
• Grade 2 spring steel construction provides consistent retaining force and resilience
• Zinc-plated finish adds a layer of corrosion protection for typical indoor service environments
• Thickness of 0.074 inches keeps axial footprint minimal in compact assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard split ring retainer for small-shaft mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.382-inch inside diameter retaining ring.

Installation Notes

Installation of split rings typically requires snap-ring pliers or a suitable pick tool; standard hand tools are sufficient for most applications. Power down or de-energize any equipment and relieve all mechanical loads before servicing components secured by retaining rings. Wear appropriate eye protection, as spring steel retaining rings can release stored energy if they slip during installation or removal. Follow applicable OSHA and equipment manufacturer guidelines for lockout and tagout procedures before beginning work.
