Galvanized hog rings have two style - D and C. Both of them features sharp and blunt points. Sharp points improve piercing and permeation through fabric, wire cloth, while blunt points ensure safe touch and little harm. Galvanized hog rings are very popular in the installation of fencing and wire cages for it is resistant to environmental corrosion. These hog rings are fabricated of hot-dip galvanized steel wire. Thick zinc coating isolates the steel wire and the corrosive factors.

C28 15GA Galvanized Hog Rings with 28mm Crown

KYA C28 hog rings are 15 gauge C-ring fasteners made from approximately 1.8mm galvanized steel wire with a nominal 27.8–28mm crown and 15mm open height. They are designed for mattress production, furniture and automotive upholstery, wire cages, fencing, mesh fastening and other industrial clamping applications.

The standard C28 configuration uses sharp points to assist penetration through fabric, netting and selected mesh materials. Standard packing is approximately 10,000 rings per carton for production users, distributors and industrial fastener buyers.

Tool compatibility depends on ring crown, wire diameter, strip geometry, magazine design and jaw closure geometry. C28 rings belong to the larger 27–28mm C-ring class, so buyers should confirm the exact hog ring tool model before bulk ordering.

15 Gauge / 1.8mm C-Ring Wire

C28 hog rings use approximately 1.8mm wire, corresponding to the common 15 gauge industrial hog ring class. This heavier wire format is used where greater clamping strength is required than fine-wire upholstery staples can provide.

Wire diameter is only one part of tool compatibility. Crown width, open height, strip configuration and final jaw closure must also match the hog ring tool.

C28 15 Gauge Hog Ring Close Up

27.8–28mm Crown and 15mm Open Height

The C28 has an approximately 27.8–28mm crown with an open height of approximately 15mm. This places it in a larger C-ring size class than common 19mm or 24mm upholstery hog rings.

The larger open geometry allows the ring to surround thicker combinations of wire, springs, fabric, mesh or frame components before the compatible tool closes the ring.

Galvanized Surface Protection

The galvanized coating provides additional corrosion protection compared with untreated carbon steel and is suitable for many indoor and general industrial applications.

Galvanized steel should not be described as permanently rust-proof. Long-term performance depends on zinc coating thickness, moisture, chemicals, salt exposure and the final service environment.

Sharp Point C28 Hog Rings

Sharp points help the ring penetrate fabric, netting and selected soft materials as the tool closes the fastener around the workpiece.

For finished upholstery, leather, vinyl or other surfaces where piercing damage should be minimized, ask about alternative point configurations and verify them with the application before production.

10,000 Rings per Carton

The C28 is listed with standard packing of approximately 10,000 rings per carton, supporting repetitive production in mattress factories, seating plants, cage manufacturing and industrial assembly.

For distributor orders, confirm current strip quantity, inner packing, carton weight, pallet quantity and labeling requirements before shipment.

C28 Tool Compatibility

C28 rings should be used with a hog ring tool designed for approximately 15GA / 1.8mm C-rings in the 27–28mm crown class. KYA product references identify the C7 tool family as a relevant tool class for this larger C-ring size.

Exact compatibility must still be confirmed because jaw profile, magazine width, strip collation and final closure diameter can vary between tool versions.

C28 vs Smaller 15GA Hog Ring Sizes

Fastener Class Typical Crown Typical Use
C28 Approx. 27.8–28mm Larger C-ring assemblies, bedding, mesh, cages and industrial fastening
C7 / HR23-Class C Ring Approx. 23.7–24mm Automotive seating, mattress, cages and upholstery
15G100-Class C Ring Approx. 19mm / 3/4" Upholstery, bedding, cages and general C-ring fastening

Similar wire gauge does not make these sizes interchangeable. Each crown class requires the correct magazine and jaw geometry.

C28 for Mattress and Bedding Production

C28 hog rings can be used in selected mattress and bedding assemblies to clamp springs, wire components, fabric or related materials where the 28mm open ring geometry matches the joint.

The required ring size depends on the diameter and quantity of materials captured by the closed ring. Test the actual spring and border-wire combination before establishing production settings.

C28 for Automotive and Furniture Upholstery

15GA C-rings are used in seating and upholstery production to connect fabric, support wire, listing wire and frame components where a heavy C-ring connection is required.

For visible fabric, vinyl or leather, confirm point style, final closure and contact location to reduce unnecessary surface damage.

C28 for Wire Cages and Fencing

C28 galvanized hog rings can be used for selected wire cages, fencing and mesh fastening where the ring opening, final closure and corrosion protection meet the installation requirements.

For permanent outdoor, coastal or chemically aggressive installations, confirm the required coating or consider stainless-steel or zinc-aluminum alternatives where appropriate.

C28 for Mesh and Gabion-Related Assembly

C28 rings may be used in selected mesh and gabion-related assembly when the ring dimensions, wire strength, coating and closing tool satisfy the project specification.

Engineered gabion and erosion-control systems can have specific requirements for fastener wire diameter, coating mass, tensile properties and spacing. Verify project requirements rather than assuming that every galvanized C28 ring is suitable for every gabion installation.
