Value Collection P20087 Split Ring Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20087 is an 18-8 stainless steel split ring designed for reliable fastening and retention in a wide range of trade and industrial applications. With an inside diameter of 0.174 inches, an outside diameter of 0.254 inches, and a thickness of 0.062 inches, this compact split ring provides a secure, spring-tension grip on shafts, pins, and fastener assemblies. The natural finish 18-8 stainless steel construction offers good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor conditions. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general mechanical contractors routinely use split rings of this type for component retention and assembly work.

This split ring is suited for light-duty retention tasks in residential and commercial mechanical systems. Typical applications include shaft retention, panel assembly, and equipment mounting where a small-diameter, corrosion-resistant retaining ring is required. Its compact dimensions make it appropriate for tight-clearance assemblies in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical equipment. This part is sold individually but is available in multiples to meet project or service-call volume needs.

Installation Notes

Split rings of this type are typically installed and removed by hand or with needle-nose pliers and snap ring tools appropriate to the ring diameter. Always de-energize and isolate equipment before servicing any assembly that requires ring removal or installation. Confirm shaft or pin diameter against the ring inside diameter before installation to ensure proper retention. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer instructions and relevant mechanical codes for the installation environment.
