KYA 516G100 Galvanized Hog Rings are 16 gauge C-style fasteners with a nominal 1/2 inch / 12.7mm inner open crown, approximately 1.6mm wire diameter and a typical 1/8 inch / 3.2mm closed inside diameter. They are designed for fencing, wire cages, netting, bag closure, upholstery and other repetitive industrial fastening applications.
The standard 516G100 version uses galvanized steel with a sharp point. Blunt-point, Galfan, stainless-steel and aluminum variants are also available within the same 516 Series for different handling and corrosion-resistance requirements.
516G100 rings are collated in straight strips for compatible 16 gauge 1/2 inch C-ring tools such as SC760 / SC761 and KYA C-760 Series pneumatic hog ring guns. Compatibility should be verified by wire diameter, inner and outer crown, ring height, closure range and magazine configuration.

The 516G100 is commonly described as a 1/2 inch crown hog ring. In current pneumatic C-ring tool specifications, the 1/2 inch dimension normally refers to the inner open crown of the ring.
The outside crown of the same fastener class is approximately 16.9mm / 5/8 inch. Buyers replacing existing C rings should therefore compare both inner and outer dimensions rather than relying only on the nominal 1/2 inch description.
The 516G100 fastener class is commonly designed to close to approximately 1/8 inch / 3.2mm inside diameter with a compatible tight-closure tool configuration.
Actual closure can vary slightly with the tool jaws and adjustment. Current 516-type pneumatic tools commonly operate within a closure range around 2.6–3.6mm or, on some models, up to approximately 4.8mm.
Select the finished closure according to the wire, mesh, fabric, cord or other components being captured by the ring. The tightest possible closure is not automatically the correct choice for every application.
The 516 Series uses approximately 1.6mm wire, corresponding to the standard 16 gauge C-ring class used by SC760 and compatible pneumatic hog ring tools.
Wire diameter is critical for feeding and closure. A ring with a similar crown but a different wire gauge may not feed through the magazine correctly or may not form the intended closed diameter.
516G100 uses galvanized steel to provide additional corrosion protection compared with untreated carbon steel. This makes it suitable for many fencing, cage, netting, upholstery and general industrial fastening applications.
The exact galvanizing process and coating specification should be confirmed when coating thickness or corrosion performance is a purchasing requirement.
Galvanized steel should not be described as permanently rust-proof. Long-term corrosion resistance depends on coating thickness, moisture, chemicals, salt exposure and service conditions.

| 516G100B | Galvanized Steel | Blunt | 100 | 10,000 |
| 516GF100 | Galfan / Zn-Al Coated Steel | Sharp | 100 | 10,000 |

| 516AL100 | Aluminum | Sharp | 100 | 10,000 |
| 516AL100B | Aluminum | Blunt | 100 | 10,000 |
| Point Type | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| Sharp Point | Useful when the fastener needs to pierce suitable fabric, mesh, netting or other compatible material before closing. |
| Blunt Point | Useful when piercing is unnecessary and the ring only needs to close around wire, cord, mesh or fabric components. |
Select point type according to the materials being joined. Sharp and blunt variants should not automatically be substituted in production without checking the finished connection.
516G100 belongs to a well-established 16 gauge pneumatic C-ring format. SC760 / SC761 and KYA C-760 Series tools are direct reference systems for this fastener class.
| Tool Reference | Compatibility Guidance |
|---|---|
| SC760 | Established pneumatic application tool for 516100-type 16GA C rings. |
| SC761 | 516100-compatible pneumatic ring tool with a different closure configuration. |
| Meite SC760C | 16GA 1/2" inner-crown pneumatic C-ring tool supporting approximately 1.6mm wire and 2.6–3.6mm closure. |
| KYA C-760A | KYA 16GA pneumatic C-ring tool listing 516G100 as a compatible fastener. |
| KYA C-760B | 16GA 16.9mm outer-crown tool supporting 516G100, 1.6mm wire and approximately 3.0–4.8mm closure. |
| Other 16GA C-Ring Tools | Confirm inner crown, outer crown, wire diameter, ring height, closure range and magazine format before use. |
Do not assume that BeA C7, Spotnails C7 or any other tool described simply as a C-ring gun is compatible. Many C7-type systems use 15 gauge 3/4 inch rings rather than the 16 gauge 1/2 inch 516 Series.
516G100 rings can be used to secure compatible wire, mesh and other components in chain-link and fencing applications where the 1/8 inch finished closure provides the required fit.
For exterior fencing, consider expected moisture, salt, chemicals and required service life when selecting galvanized, Galfan or stainless-steel ring material.
The 516 Series is widely used for animal cages, pet cages, traps and other wire-mesh assemblies. The tight closed diameter can secure compatible wire intersections with a compact finished ring.
Verify the mesh-wire combination before production to ensure the ring closes fully without cutting, crushing or excessively deforming the wire.
516-type hog rings are commonly used for bird-control netting, cargo netting, nursery applications, erosion-control products and other mesh-fastening work.
Sharp-point rings can help penetrate compatible mesh or fabric, while blunt rings can be used where the ring only needs to wrap around the material without piercing it.
516G100 can be used in selected upholstery, automotive-seat, spring-mattress and furniture applications when its tight 1/8 inch closure is appropriate for the materials being joined.
Other upholstery operations may require larger C-ring formats such as 15GA 3/4 inch rings. Select the ring according to the exact spring, wire, fabric and tool rather than treating all upholstery hog rings as interchangeable.

516G100 is a 16 gauge C-ring fastener with approximately 1.6mm wire, a nominal 1/2 inch inner open crown and a typical 1/8 inch closed inside diameter.
The nominal 1/2 inch dimension normally refers to the inner open crown. The outside crown of the same fastener class is approximately 16.9mm / 5/8 inch.
The typical tight closure is approximately 1/8 inch / 3.2mm. Actual closure depends on the tool jaws and adjustment.
The listed wire diameter is approximately 1.6mm, corresponding to the 16 gauge C-ring class.
Yes. The 516G100 model is the galvanized sharp-point version of the 516 Series.
No. Galvanizing improves corrosion resistance compared with untreated steel, but long-term performance still depends on coating thickness and the service environment.
They can be used in many outdoor fencing and cage applications when the galvanized coating meets the required exposure conditions. For severe coastal, salt or chemically aggressive environments, consider Galfan or stainless steel according to the project requirement.
516G100 is the galvanized sharp-point version, while 516G100B is the galvanized blunt-point version.
Both use the same general 16 gauge 1/2 inch C-ring format. 516G100 uses galvanized steel, while 516SS100 uses stainless steel for applications requiring higher corrosion resistance.
516GF100 is the Galfan / zinc-aluminum coated sharp-point option within the same 516 fastener family.
Established tool references include SC760, SC761, Meite SC760C and KYA C-760A / C-760B-type pneumatic C-ring tools. Confirm exact ring and closure specifications with the tool before ordering.
Yes. SC760 is an established application-tool reference for the 516100 16 gauge 1/2 inch C-ring format.
KYA currently lists 516G100 among the compatible fasteners for both C-760A and C-760B pneumatic hog ring tools.
Do not assume compatibility from the C7 name alone. Confirm the BeA tool's gauge, inner crown, outer crown, ring height and closure specification before using 516G100.
Current Spotnails C-ring tools commonly use 15 gauge 3/4 inch open rings rather than this 16 gauge 1/2 inch 516 Series. They should not be listed as direct matches without specific manufacturer confirmation.
No. Confirm gauge, inner and outer crown, wire diameter, ring height, closure range and magazine format before use.
Yes. Chain-link fencing, wire mesh and fencing components are common applications where this ring size provides a suitable closure.
Yes. Pet cages, animal cages and traps are established applications for the 516100 fastener class.
It can be used in selected upholstery and mattress applications when its 16 gauge profile and tight closure match the materials being joined.
The 516100 fastener class is commonly supplied at 100 rings per collated strip.
KYA lists 10,000 rings per box for the 516 Series.
Provide the required material, sharp or blunt point, exact hog ring tool model, closure requirement, application, corrosion environment and purchasing quantity so the correct 516 Series configuration can be confirmed.
