KYA SR8 blunt hog rings are 16 gauge C-style rings with an approximately 11/16" / 17.5 mm open crown and a listed closed inside diameter of approximately 9/32" / 7 mm. The featured version uses galvanized steel wire and a blunt point for applications where a smooth, non-piercing ring end is preferred.
SR8 rings are used in upholstery, automotive seating, furniture production, netting, fencing, cages, bag closure, nursery work and other professional fastening applications. The current KYA configuration is supplied in 50-ring collated strips with 2,500 rings per box.
16 gauge wire: approximately 1.6 mm in the current KYA specification.
11/16" crown: approximately 17.5 mm open-ring width.
9/32" closed I.D.: approximately 7 mm nominal closure dimension.
Blunt point: suitable for closures where active material penetration is not required and exposed sharp points are undesirable.
Galvanized steel: provides corrosion protection for general indoor and protected applications.
Collated strips: 50 rings per strip for compatible magazine-fed hog ring pliers.
2,500 rings per box: commercial packaging for upholstery shops, manufacturers and distributors.
Alternative configurations: sharp point, stainless steel and Galfan versions are available within the broader SR8 range.

The SR8 ring begins with an open crown of approximately 11/16" / 17.5 mm. When crimped with a compatible tool, the current KYA specification lists a nominal closed inside diameter of approximately 9/32" / 7 mm.
Actual finished closure can vary slightly according to the tool jaw profile, material bundle thickness, ring material and tool adjustment. Buyers requiring a specific finished closure should confirm the complete ring and tool combination.
SR8 hog rings are available with both blunt and sharp points. The correct point style depends on whether the ring must simply close around materials or actively penetrate through a fabric, mesh or covering.
| Point Style | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| Blunt Point | Useful where the ring closes around wire, rod, mesh, upholstery components or other materials without needing the tips to pierce through the material. |
| Sharp Point | Useful when controlled penetration through fabric, burlap, netting or similar material is required before the ring is closed. |
A blunt point reduces exposed sharpness and can reduce snagging in suitable applications, but it should not be described as guaranteeing that fabric can never be damaged. Material thickness, tool force and placement still affect the result.
The rings are supplied in collated strips for use with magazine-fed hog ring pliers. The current KYA configuration contains 50 rings per strip, allowing repeated fastening without individually loading each ring.
Reliable feeding depends on the ring crown, wire diameter, strip spacing, collation material and magazine geometry. Rings with a similar visual appearance are not automatically interchangeable between different C-ring tool platforms.
When installed with the correct jaw profile, the C-ring closes around the materials being joined. The listed 9/32" closed inside diameter provides a useful reference when comparing SR8 with smaller or larger hog ring families.
For tool and application matching, buyers should confirm the open crown, wire diameter and finished closure rather than relying only on the SR8 series name.
Automotive seating: selected seat-cover, listing-wire and upholstery attachment operations using compatible C-ring tools.
Furniture upholstery: fastening upholstery components, wire and related assemblies.
Mattress and bedding: selected wire and fabric fastening operations.
Fencing and wire mesh: joining compatible mesh, wire and netting.
Animal cages and traps: assembling compatible wire enclosures.
Netting: bird, garden, erosion-control and protective netting applications.
Bag closure: closing compatible plastic, cloth or mesh bags.
Nursery and horticulture: tagging, burlap, root-ball and related fastening applications.
Sixteen gauge 11/16" hog rings are used in automotive and furniture upholstery applications where C-rings are required to secure upholstery components, wire or supporting structures.
A blunt point is useful when the ring needs to close around the components rather than intentionally pierce through the upholstery material. The correct ring profile and closure should be selected according to the seat frame, listing wire, fabric construction and production tool.
The 11/16" C-ring format is also widely used for joining wire mesh, cages, netting and similar materials. Blunt rings are useful where the ring can be positioned around the materials without needing to pierce through them.
For applications requiring penetration through fabric, burlap or netting before closure, a sharp-point SR8 variant may be more appropriate.
The featured SR8GB uses galvanized steel. KYA also lists stainless steel and Galfan options within the wider SR8 product family for applications with different corrosion requirements.
| Material / Finish | Selection Consideration |
|---|---|
| Galvanized Steel | General-purpose corrosion protection for indoor and protected applications. |
| Stainless Steel | Used where greater corrosion resistance is required; confirm exact stainless grade for the environment. |
| Galfan | Zinc-aluminum coated option for applications requiring increased corrosion resistance compared with standard zinc coatings. |
Material selection should be based on moisture, chemicals, salt exposure and the expected service environment. Do not assume that every galvanized ring is suitable for severe exterior or marine exposure.
SR8 rings belong to a specific 16 gauge 11/16" C-ring platform. Compatibility should be checked by crown width, wire size, strip geometry and closure profile.
| Tool Platform | Published Fastener Reference |
|---|---|
| KYA SR8 Hog Ring Pliers | Designed for approximately 20 mm crown, 1.6 mm SR8 C-rings with a 50-ring magazine. |
| BOSTITCH / Stanley P7 | Uses 16GA 11/16" collated C-rings including blunt-point RING616G50B. |
| Salco HR7P | Uses SR8 / Bostitch 616-type 16GA 11/16" C-rings. |
| Spec Ops M7 | Uses 16GA 11/16" hog rings and supports 50-ring magazine-fed strips. |
| P7-Compatible 11/16" C-Ring Pliers | Confirm 16GA ring size, crown, closure and strip dimensions before use. |
Do not assume that every tool described as a C-ring or hog ring gun accepts SR8 rings. Different platforms use 1/2", 3/4", 15 gauge, 16 gauge or heavier ring formats.
The KYA SC-7C is designed around a different ring specification. Its current tool information lists approximately 23.7 mm crown and 1.8 mm ring thickness, while SR8 uses approximately 17.5 mm crown and 1.6 mm wire.
For this reason, SC-7C should not be presented as a direct SR8-compatible tool without a separate manufacturer confirmation for a specific version.
Some SC760-type C-ring tools are designed around approximately 1/2" 16 gauge hog rings, which are smaller than the SR8 11/16" format.
Buyers should therefore verify the exact SC760 or SC760C version and its specified crown before ordering SR8 rings. Similar tool names do not guarantee interchangeable fasteners.
| Characteristic | SR8 | Typical 1/2" C-Ring |
|---|---|---|
| Open Crown | Approximately 11/16" / 17.5 mm | Approximately 1/2" |
| Gauge | 16GA | Often 16GA |
| SR8 Closed I.D. | Approximately 9/32" | Varies by ring series |
| Tool Platform | SR8 / P7-class 11/16" tools | C760 / other 1/2" platforms depending on fastener |
| Configuration | Crown | Closed I.D. | Point | Finish / Material | Pcs / Box |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SR8 Blunt | 11/16" | 9/32" | Blunt | Galvanized | 2,500 |
| SR8 Sharp | 11/16" | 9/32" | Sharp | Galvanized / Stainless Steel depending on configuration | 2,500 |
| Other C / D Ring Families | Varies | Varies | Sharp / Blunt | Galvanized / Stainless Steel / Galfan depending on series | Varies by series |
The current KYA SR8 blunt configuration lists 50 rings per strip and 2,500 rings per box. This equals approximately 50 collated strips per box.
KYA's current SR8 product information also lists pallet or skid quantities for selected configurations. Confirm the actual carton quantity, box weight and pallet configuration with the quotation because packing can vary by material and finish.
For an accurate quotation, provide the required quantity, point style, material or finish, intended application, required closed diameter, hog ring tool model and destination market.
If the rings will be used in automotive seating, furniture production or another automated manufacturing process, providing a sample fastener or exact tool specification can help confirm strip and jaw compatibility before bulk ordering.
The current KYA product information lists a minimum order quantity of 50 boxes and indicates that sample quantities can be arranged. Confirm the current MOQ, sample quantity, material, packing and freight terms when requesting pricing.
