Value Collection P20090 Split Ring 18-8 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20090 is an 18-8 stainless steel split ring designed for fastening and retaining applications in mechanical assemblies. With an inside diameter of 0.328 inches, an outside diameter of 0.43 inches, and a thickness of 0.074 inches, this split ring delivers precise fitment in tight tolerances. The natural finish on 18-8 stainless steel provides solid corrosion resistance without added coatings, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor service environments. Maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors reach for split rings like this when securing shafts, pins, or components where a reliable retaining element is required.

This split ring is suited for use in light mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial assemblies where a compact retaining fastener is needed. Its small form factor makes it appropriate for equipment with limited clearance around shafts or bores in the 0.328-inch range. The stainless steel construction holds up in environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact, which is common in HVAC equipment rooms, mechanical chases, and pump assemblies.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Inside diameter of 0.328 inches for precise shaft or pin fitment
• Outside diameter of 0.43 inches with a 0.074-inch thickness for compact retaining profiles
• Natural finish — no added coating that could flake or interfere with close-tolerance fits
• Split ring design allows quick installation and removal without special tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style retaining fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a split ring with a 0.328-inch inside diameter and 0.43-inch outside diameter in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Split rings of this size are typically installed by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals using needle-nose pliers or a split ring tool suited to the diameter. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing the shaft or component being secured. Verify bore and shaft dimensions match the ring ID before installation to avoid deformation. Follow applicable mechanical assembly codes and manufacturer guidelines for the host equipment.
