Value Collection P20086 Split Ring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20086 is a small-diameter split ring fastener manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a natural finish. Split rings serve as lightweight retaining hardware used to secure pins, shafts, rods, and similar components against axial movement. This ring measures 0.15 inches inside diameter, 0.22 inches outside diameter, and 0.054 inches thick. The 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance suitable for wet, humid, or mildly corrosive environments. Maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and mechanical service professionals commonly install split rings during equipment assembly or repair where a compact, reusable retaining solution is needed.

This split ring is suited for light-duty retention applications across residential and commercial mechanical systems. Typical uses include securing pivot pins, retaining clips on valve stems, holding small shafts in HVAC and plumbing equipment assemblies, and similar fastening tasks where the small 0.15-inch bore is an appropriate fit. The natural stainless finish makes it compatible with applications where minimal corrosion risk is required without additional surface treatment.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Split rings of this size are typically installed and removed by hand or with needle-nose pliers and a small pick or hook tool. Always de-energize or shut down the equipment before servicing components that use retaining rings. Inspect the ring for deformation or fatigue before reinstalling. Verify shaft and bore dimensions match the ring specifications before assembly.
