KYA 15AL100 aluminum hog rings are 15 gauge, 3/4" C-style collated fasteners designed for compatible 15-100 series pneumatic hog ring tools. The featured configuration uses approximately 1.8 mm aluminum wire, a sharp point, 100 rings per strip and 10,000 rings per box.
Aluminum provides a lightweight alternative to steel hog rings and naturally develops a protective oxide layer when exposed to air. The 15AL100 format is suitable for selected fencing, wire cages, netting, bag closure, upholstery, bungee cord, nursery and industrial fastening applications where an aluminum C-ring is specified.
15 gauge C-ring: approximately 1.8 mm wire thickness in the current KYA specification.
3/4" nominal open size: approximately 19 mm inner opening on the common 15-100 C-ring platform.
12 mm ring height: common geometry for professional 15GA 15-100 series hog rings.
Aluminum construction: lower-density material for applications where reduced fastener weight and aluminum corrosion characteristics are useful.
Sharp point: supports controlled penetration into fabric, netting, burlap and similar materials.
Collated strips: 100 rings per strip for compatible magazine-fed 15GA C-ring tools.
10,000 rings per box: high-volume packaging for manufacturers and fastener distributors.
15-100 series format: related bright steel, galvanized, Galfan and stainless steel configurations are available for different service environments.

The AL designation identifies the aluminum version of the 15-100 C-ring family. Buyers looking for a zinc-aluminum coated steel ring should specify the corresponding Galfan or zinc-aluminum coated steel configuration rather than treating 15AL100 as the same material.
| Series | Material / Finish | Typical Selection Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| 15100 | Bright Steel | Dry indoor applications where additional corrosion protection is not required. |
| 15G100 | Galvanized Steel | General-purpose steel ring with zinc corrosion protection. |
| 15GF100 | Galfan / Zinc-Aluminum Coated Steel | Coated steel option for applications requiring enhanced corrosion performance. |
| 15SS100 | Stainless Steel | Higher corrosion resistance where the selected stainless grade is appropriate. |
| 15AL100 | Aluminum | Lightweight non-ferrous C-ring option for compatible fastening applications. |
Aluminum has substantially lower density than steel, so an aluminum fastener can reduce component and packaged fastener weight. The actual weight difference between complete hog rings depends on wire diameter and ring geometry and should be confirmed from the production specification rather than assumed from gauge alone.
Aluminum also forms a thin oxide film naturally when exposed to air. This provides useful corrosion behavior in many environments, but aluminum is not immune to corrosion and should not automatically be treated as the best material for every coastal, marine, chemical or saltwater application.
The 15AL100 uses approximately 1.8 mm wire. This is the same nominal wire size used throughout the 15-100 series, allowing buyers to compare bright steel, galvanized, stainless, Galfan and aluminum options within the same general C-ring geometry.
Wire diameter alone does not determine fastener strength. Aluminum and steel have different material properties, so a 15 gauge aluminum ring should not automatically be described as stronger than a thinner steel ring without mechanical test data for the actual products.
The 15-100 family is commonly described as a 3/4" C-ring. On professional tool specifications, this usually corresponds to an approximately 19 mm inner opening together with an overall outer span of approximately 24 mm.
This distinction is important when comparing tool specifications because some manufacturers publish the inner crown while others publish the overall crown or outside dimension.
The finished C-ring diameter is determined by both the fastener and the tool jaw profile. A 15-100 ring should therefore not be described as having one fixed closed diameter in every hog ring gun.
SC7C-type tools are designed for a tighter closure and can produce approximately 3/16"–11/32" / 4.8–8.7 mm inside diameter depending on setup. Standard SC7-type tools generally produce a larger finished loop.
If the application requires a specific finished loop diameter, test the actual 15AL100 ring with the production tool, jaw set and material bundle before bulk purchasing.
The featured 15AL100 uses sharp points. Sharp-point C-rings are useful when the tips need to engage or penetrate fabric, netting, burlap or similar material before the ring is fully formed around the assembly.
For applications where penetration is not required, buyers should ask about a compatible blunt-point configuration.
KYA lists 100 15AL100 rings per collated strip and 10,000 rings per box. This corresponds to approximately 100 strips per box.
The strip format is designed for compatible magazine-fed 15GA hog ring pliers. Complete tool compatibility depends on wire diameter, open-ring geometry, strip pitch, collation and jaw design.
Fencing and netting: joining compatible wire, mesh and netting where aluminum rings meet the mechanical and environmental requirements.
Wire cages: selected cage and enclosure assembly applications.
Bag closure: medium and large mesh, fabric, burlap or compatible poly bag applications.
Bungee and shock cord: selected loop-forming and cord attachment operations.
Upholstery and seating: selected C-ring connections where the production specification permits aluminum fasteners.
Bedding: selected mattress and spring assembly operations where aluminum C-rings are specified.
Nursery applications: plant, burlap, root-ball and tagging operations.
Insulation and industrial assemblies: fastening compatible insulation blankets, mesh and related materials.
Aluminum C-rings can be used in selected fence, cage and netting assemblies where reduced fastener weight and the corrosion behavior of aluminum are appropriate for the surrounding materials and service environment.
Before specifying aluminum, confirm the required joint strength, mesh wire material, expected moisture exposure and potential galvanic interaction with dissimilar metals.
Aluminum provides useful corrosion resistance in many atmospheric environments, but it should not be described as completely corrosion-free in saltwater. Chloride exposure and contact with dissimilar metals can affect aluminum corrosion performance.
For crab pots, lobster traps, oyster bags, coastal fencing or other marine-related applications, confirm the aluminum alloy, mating wire material, galvanic conditions and required service life. Stainless steel or a specified coated-steel ring may be more appropriate for some installations.
| Material | Key Characteristic | Buyer Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | Low-density, non-ferrous material with a naturally forming surface oxide layer. | Useful where aluminum material is preferred; verify joint strength and galvanic compatibility. |
| Galvanized Steel | Steel strength with zinc coating for general corrosion protection. | Common general-purpose choice for indoor and selected outdoor applications. |
| Galfan / Zn-Al Coated Steel | Steel substrate with a zinc-aluminum alloy coating. | Choose when a coated-steel ring with enhanced corrosion performance is required. |
| Stainless Steel | Corrosion-resistant steel alloy. | Often selected for demanding wet or corrosive environments; confirm the exact stainless grade. |
Although both products can be selected for applications where corrosion performance matters, they are different fastener materials.
15AL100 is an aluminum C-ring. A Galfan product such as 15GF100 is a steel C-ring with a zinc-aluminum coating. The substrate material, weight, strength, corrosion behavior and galvanic characteristics are therefore different.
15AL100 and 16G110 may both be described as nominal 3/4" C-rings, but they belong to different gauge and tool platforms.
| Characteristic | 15AL100 | 16G110 |
|---|---|---|
| Gauge | 15GA / approximately 1.8 mm | 16GA / approximately 1.6 mm |
| Material | Aluminum | Galvanized steel in the standard 16G110 version |
| Rings / Strip | 100 | 110 |
| Rings / Box | 10,000 | 11,000 |
| Typical Tool Platform | SC7 / SC7C-class 15GA tools | SC742 / SC743-class 16GA tools |
Do not load 15AL100 into a 16G110 tool solely because both fasteners are marketed as 3/4" hog rings. Gauge, strip pitch, ring geometry and jaw design must match the tool.
The 15AL100 belongs to the same nominal geometry family as 15GA 15-100 C-rings. Professional 15GA 3/4" platforms include SC7 and SC7C-type hog ring tools.
| Tool Platform | Published Fastener Platform | Buyer Check |
|---|---|---|
| BOSTITCH SC7 / SC7C | 15GA 3/4" 15-100 series C-rings. | Confirm aluminum ring material is approved for the exact tool and jaw setup. |
| Salco SC7-15 / SC7C-15 | 15GA 3/4" 15-100 series C-rings. | Verify strip geometry and required closure range. |
| Meite SC7C | Approximately 1.8 mm wire, 19 mm inner crown, 12 mm height. | Confirm aluminum ring feed and forming performance before production use. |
| BeA CL24-HR Class | Professional 15GA C-ring platform used with 15G100-type geometry. | Confirm the exact fastener material and strip dimensions with the tool specification. |
| KYA C-7CA52 | 15GA, approximately 23.8 mm outer crown, 1.8 mm wire, 12 mm height. | Confirm 15AL100 aluminum material compatibility before bulk production. |
A matching gauge and nominal ring size do not by themselves guarantee compatibility. Buyers should confirm wire diameter, open-ring geometry, collation pitch, magazine dimensions, jaw profile and ring material.
SC7 and SC7C tools use the same general 15GA 3/4" C-ring family but are designed for different finished closure ranges.
| Tool Type | Typical Published Closure Range |
|---|---|
| SC7 | Approximately 5/16"–27/64" / 7.9–10.7 mm |
| SC7C | Approximately 3/16"–11/32" / 4.8–8.7 mm |
Select the tool and jaw configuration according to the required finished loop diameter and the thickness of the materials captured by the ring.
SC760-class hog ring tools belong to a different fastener platform and are commonly designed around approximately 1/2" 16 gauge C-rings.
The KYA 15AL100 is a 15 gauge 3/4" 15-100 series ring. It should therefore not be presented as directly interchangeable with SC760 / SC760C fasteners.
Aluminum does not form the red iron oxide commonly associated with rusting steel, but it can still corrode. Chloride-rich environments such as seawater can cause localized attack, and contact with other metals can create galvanic corrosion.
For lobster traps, crab pots, oyster farming, coastal netting and marine equipment, confirm the exact aluminum alloy and all materials in contact with the ring. If a defined marine service life is required, request application-specific material guidance before ordering.
A 15GA aluminum C-ring may be suitable for selected mesh fastening tasks, but engineered gabion baskets and river mattresses often specify particular lacing wire or ring materials, wire diameters, coating systems and fastening spacing.
Do not substitute 15AL100 for a specified gabion fastener without confirming the gabion system requirements and required mechanical and corrosion performance.
The current KYA configuration lists 100 aluminum rings per strip and 10,000 rings per box. Confirm final carton weight and pallet configuration when requesting export pricing because aluminum box weight differs from equivalent steel-ring packaging.
For an accurate quotation, provide the required quantity, tool model, application, required closure diameter, mating material, environmental exposure and destination market.
For outdoor, coastal or marine applications, also provide the wire or mesh material that will contact the aluminum ring so material compatibility can be evaluated.
If sample testing is required, contact KYA to confirm the current sample quantity, packing and freight terms together with the current minimum order quantity.
The 15AL100 is an aluminum C-ring. It should not be confused with 15GF100, which is the zinc-aluminum coated steel or Galfan version within the 15-100 family.
It is a 15 gauge 3/4" nominal open-size C-ring using approximately 1.8 mm wire and approximately 12 mm ring height.
The 3/4" designation refers to the nominal open or inner size used for the 15-100 C-ring platform. Compatible tools may list an overall crown dimension closer to 24 mm.
Closure depends on the hog ring tool. SC7C-type tools can close 15GA 3/4" rings to approximately 3/16"–11/32", while standard SC7-type tools generally produce a larger closed loop.
No. 15AL100 is aluminum. A Galfan or zinc-aluminum coated steel version uses a steel substrate with a zinc-aluminum coating and has different material properties.
Aluminum has substantially lower density than steel, so aluminum rings are generally lighter for comparable geometry. The exact percentage difference should be determined from the actual ring and box weights.
Gauge alone cannot be used to make that conclusion. Aluminum and steel have different material properties. Compare tested ring strength or joint performance if mechanical capacity is critical.
A fixed corrosion-life multiplier should not be assumed without comparative test data for the exact materials and environment. Aluminum, galvanized steel, Galfan and stainless steel behave differently under different exposure conditions.
Aluminum does not produce the same red iron oxide as carbon steel, but it can oxidize and corrode. Moisture, chlorides, chemicals and contact with dissimilar metals affect corrosion behavior.
Do not assume universal saltwater suitability. Confirm the aluminum alloy, mating materials and required service environment before using the ring in continuous marine or coastal exposure.
It can be considered for compatible trap and netting assemblies when aluminum provides suitable mechanical and corrosion performance. For saltwater equipment, material compatibility should be confirmed before production use.
Yes, for selected fencing and netting applications where a 15GA aluminum C-ring provides the required closure and joint performance.
The 15-100 C-ring geometry is widely used in upholstery and seating. Use aluminum only where the manufacturing specification permits an aluminum ring rather than steel.
SC7 and SC7C are 15GA 3/4" 15-100 series tool platforms. Confirm aluminum-ring material approval, strip dimensions and jaw setup with the exact tool before production use.
These Salco tools are designed for the 15GA 3/4" 15-100 C-ring platform. Confirm that the aluminum strip geometry and forming characteristics match the exact tool configuration.
The Meite SC7C publishes approximately 1.8 mm wire, 19 mm inner crown and 12 mm ring height, matching the main dimensional class of 15-100 C-rings. Confirm aluminum-ring compatibility before bulk production.
No direct compatibility should be assumed. SC760-type tools normally use a smaller 1/2" 16GA C-ring platform rather than 15GA 3/4" 15-100 rings.
No. The two rings use different gauges, strip counts and tool platforms. 15AL100 belongs to the 15GA 15-100 family, while 16G110 belongs to a 16GA 16-110 platform.
The current KYA specification lists 100 rings per collated strip.
KYA lists 10,000 15AL100 rings per box.
Provide the required quantity, hog ring tool model, application, required closed diameter, mating material, service environment and destination market. For marine or exterior applications, include corrosion and material compatibility requirements.
