Value Collection P20075 Split Ring Zinc-plated Spring Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20075 is a zinc-plated split ring designed for secure fastening and locking applications in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 2 spring steel, this ring delivers reliable tension and corrosion resistance in a compact form factor. With an inside diameter of 0.428 inches, an outside diameter of 0.542 inches, and a thickness of 0.083 inches, it fits into tight clearance applications where a standard solid washer would not provide adequate retention. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians install this type of fastener hardware daily across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical work.

Split rings of this size are commonly used in residential and light commercial mechanical systems where fastener retention under vibration or dynamic load is required. Typical applications include equipment mounting, pipe hanger assemblies, electrical enclosure hardware, and general-purpose bolt and screw locking. The small profile and zinc finish make it suitable for indoor and moderately protected outdoor environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed.

Key Features

• Grade 2 spring steel construction provides consistent tension and fatigue resistance
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance for general-purpose use
• Inside diameter of 0.428 inches suits standard fastener shank sizes in that range
• Slim 0.083-inch thickness fits tight axial clearance applications
• Split ring design locks under load to resist loosening from vibration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service part for mechanical assemblies requiring a split ring with a 0.428-inch inside diameter and 0.542-inch outside diameter. Confirm fastener shank diameter and seat clearance before installation.

Installation Notes

Split rings are installed by a licensed mechanic, HVAC technician, plumber, or electrician as part of a fastener assembly. Always de-energize equipment and relieve system pressure before servicing any mechanical joint that incorporates these rings. Use appropriate pliers or ring installation tooling to seat the ring evenly without deforming the spring profile. Inspect the ring for deformation or corrosion before reuse on previously assembled joints.
