KYA 15100B 15 Gauge 3/4 Inch Bright Hog Rings are C-style collated fasteners designed primarily for automotive seating, upholstery, mattress production, furniture manufacturing and other indoor fastening applications. The 15100B configuration uses a blunt point, 3/4-inch open size, 1.80mm wire and bright steel finish.
The blunt-point design is useful where the hog ring needs to close around upholstery materials, springs, wires, cords or other components without the aggressive piercing action of a sharp-point hog ring. In automotive seating, these rings can be used with compatible C-ring tools to secure upholstery listing wires, seat-cover materials and other compatible seat components.
15100B is the bright-finish blunt-point version of the 15100 Series. Buyers requiring additional corrosion resistance should specify a different product such as 15G100B galvanized hog rings or a suitable stainless steel version rather than treating 15100B as galvanized.

Note: 15100B should not be confused with 15G100B. The 15100B designation corresponds to the bright-finish blunt-point version, while 15G100B identifies the galvanized blunt-point version within the same general 15GA 3/4-inch hog ring family.
Hog rings are available with sharp or blunt points. The correct point style depends on whether the fastener needs to pierce material during installation or primarily close around existing wires, springs, fabric loops or other components.
| Point Type | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| Blunt Point – 15100B | Designed for applications where the ring closes around upholstery components, springs, wires, cords or compatible materials without requiring an aggressive piercing point. |
| Sharp Point – 15100 | More appropriate when the C-ring must penetrate or engage fabric, mesh or another material during fastening. |
For automotive upholstery, blunt-point rings can reduce the risk of unintentionally piercing adjacent upholstery materials during applications where piercing is not required. The correct point style should still follow the seat design, tooling and manufacturing process.
Hog rings are widely used in automotive seating to mechanically secure upholstery components to seat-frame wires, listing wires or other designed attachment points. When compressed by a compatible tool, the C-shaped ring closes around the components to form a permanent mechanical connection.
| Automotive Application | Typical Function |
|---|---|
| Seat Cover Attachment | Securing compatible upholstery attachment points to seat-frame or listing wires. |
| Listing Wire Connection | Closing around compatible listing wires and seat-support components. |
| Foam & Upholstery Assembly | Used where the seat design incorporates hog-ring attachment points around foam and upholstery assemblies. |
| Seat Repair & Restoration | Useful when replacing original-style hog ring connections during compatible automotive seat upholstery work. |
Finish and point style are encoded by different part numbers in the 15GA 3/4-inch hog ring family. Buyers should order by the exact part number rather than describing every variant simply as “3/4 inch hog rings.”
| Part Number | Finish / Material | Point | Strip Size | Box Count | Typical Selection |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15100 | Bright Basic | Sharp | 100 | 10,000 | Indoor applications requiring a sharp point |
| 15100B | Bright Basic | Blunt | 100 | 10,000 | Automotive upholstery, furniture and bedding where a blunt point is preferred |
| 15G100 | Galvanized | Sharp | 100 | 10,000 | Applications requiring zinc corrosion protection and piercing capability |
| 15G100B | Galvanized | Blunt | 100 | 10,000 | Blunt-point applications requiring additional corrosion protection |
| 15SS100 | Stainless Steel | Sharp | 100 | 10,000 | Higher-corrosion-resistance applications requiring a sharp point |
| 15SS100B | Stainless Steel | Blunt | 100 | 10,000 | Blunt-point applications requiring higher corrosion resistance |
15100B and 15G100B share the same general 15GA 3/4-inch blunt-point hog ring format, but their finishes are different. This difference matters when the finished assembly may be exposed to moisture or corrosive environments.

|---|---|---|
| Gauge | 15GA | 15GA |
| Open Size | 3/4" | 3/4" |
| Point | Blunt | Blunt |
| Finish | Bright Basic | Galvanized |
| Corrosion Protection | Limited; intended mainly for dry indoor use | Improved zinc corrosion protection compared with bright steel |
| Typical Use | Automotive seats, indoor furniture, mattresses and upholstery | Applications requiring the same general ring format with additional corrosion protection |
KYA lists the 15100B for use with C7E and C7CA-type hog ring tools. Industry 3/4-inch C-ring tools also commonly identify 15100B as a compatible fastener family. Tool compatibility should still be verified from the complete ring dimensions and tool specification rather than from “C7” terminology alone.
| Compatibility Item | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Ring Series | Tool should support the 15100 / 15GA 3/4-inch C-ring family. |
| Wire Gauge | 15 gauge / approximately 1.80mm wire. |
| Open Ring Size | Approximately 3/4 inch. |
| Collation | Tool magazine and feed mechanism must match the collated strip format. |
| Jaw / Closure Geometry | Verify that the tool closes the ring to the required finished geometry for the application. |
| Exact Tool Model | Provide C7E, C7CA or the actual pneumatic/manual tool model when requesting replacement fasteners. |
Check Hog Ring Tool Compatibility
Because this specific 15100B SKU uses a bright finish, its strongest product positioning is indoor automotive, upholstery, furniture and bedding manufacturing rather than highly corrosive outdoor applications.
| Application | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Automotive Seating | Seat-cover attachment and compatible seat-frame or listing-wire connections. |
| Automotive Upholstery Repair | Replacement of compatible original hog-ring connections during seat upholstery and restoration work. |
| Mattress Manufacturing | Connecting selected spring, border-wire and bedding components where the ring size is appropriate. |
| Sofa & Furniture Upholstery | Fastening upholstery-related wires, springs and compatible frame components. |
| Bungee Cord Manufacturing | Selected cord-end fastening and bundling applications using compatible C-ring equipment. |
| Bag Closure | Industrial closure applications where this ring size, finish and tool system are specified. |
| Insulation Assemblies | Selected fastening or bundling applications in dry indoor environments. |
The 15100B part number uses a bright finish, so it should not be positioned as the preferred option for long-term outdoor, wet or corrosive applications. Bright steel provides substantially less corrosion protection than galvanized or stainless steel hog rings.
For fencing, cages, landscaping, gabion work or other outdoor fastening, select a finish specifically designed for the expected exposure. Depending on the environment, this may include galvanized, Galfan / zinc-aluminum or stainless steel hog rings.
| Environment | General Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| Dry Indoor Upholstery | 15100B bright finish is an appropriate product family where corrosion protection is not required. |
| Humid / Light Corrosive Exposure | Consider a specified galvanized version such as the appropriate 15G100-series ring. |
| Outdoor Fencing | Use a corrosion-resistant finish selected for the service environment rather than standard bright 15100B. |
| Coastal / Highly Corrosive | Consider a suitable stainless steel or other high-corrosion-resistance fastener specification. |
A hog ring begins as an open C-shaped fastener. The ring is positioned around the components to be joined and then compressed by the jaws of a manual or pneumatic hog ring tool.
| Step | Process |
|---|---|
| 1. Feed Ring | A collated 15100B ring is fed into the compatible C-ring tool. |
| 2. Position Components | Place the open C-ring around the seat wire, upholstery component, spring, cord or other compatible materials. |
| 3. Activate Tool | The tool jaws compress the C-shaped ring around the components. |
| 4. Form Closure | The ring deforms into its closed configuration, creating a mechanical fastening connection. |
| 5. Inspect | Check the finished closure, component alignment and application requirements before continuing production. |
Professional buyers should specify more than “15 gauge hog rings.” Ring size, point type, finish and tool compatibility all affect whether the fastener is suitable for the production process.
| Selection Item | What to Specify |
|---|---|
| Part Number | 15100B when bright finish and blunt point are required. |
| Gauge | 15GA / approximately 1.8mm wire for this product family. |
| Open Size | 3/4-inch C-ring family. |
| Point Type | Blunt for 15100B; sharp-point applications require another part number. |
| Finish | Bright, galvanized, stainless steel or another corrosion-resistant finish according to the environment. |
| Tool Model | Provide the exact C7E, C7CA or other hog ring tool model for compatibility checking. |
| Finished Closure | If closure diameter is critical, provide the required finished dimension and application sample. |
| Application | Automotive seat, mattress, furniture, bag closure, fencing or other specific end use. |
KYA supplies collated hog rings for automotive seat manufacturers, upholstery factories, furniture manufacturers, mattress factories, bedding companies, industrial distributors and pneumatic fastening-tool users.
For an accurate 15100B quotation, state 15GA × 3/4" × Bright × Blunt Point and provide the tool model, purchase quantity, packaging requirement and destination country. If replacing an existing supplier, send the current fastener label or sample.
If the application requires galvanized, Galfan, zinc-aluminum or stainless steel rings, specify that separately. Changing the finish changes the product identity and should not be treated as the same 15100B SKU.
