KYA SR8 Stainless Steel Hog Rings are 16 gauge C-style fasteners with an approximately 11/16 inch / 17.5mm open crown, 1.6mm wire and approximately 9/32 inch / 7.1mm closed inside diameter. They are designed for wire cages, fencing, netting, nursery applications, bag closure, upholstery and other industrial fastening operations.
The SR8SS model uses 304 stainless steel for applications requiring greater corrosion resistance than standard carbon-steel or galvanized rings. KYA also supplies galvanized and other SR8 variants for different service environments.
SR8 rings are supplied in collated strips for compatible SR8 fastening tools. Tool compatibility should be verified by gauge, open crown, closed diameter, wire size and magazine format rather than by nominal crown size alone.

The SR8 Series uses an approximately 11/16 inch / 17.5mm open crown. This is the dimension of the open C ring before the tool closes it around the materials being fastened.
The open crown should not be confused with the final ring diameter. Tool compatibility and finished connection geometry depend on both the open dimensions and the closure produced by the selected tool.
The SR8 fastener class is designed to close to approximately 9/32 inch / 7.1mm inside diameter when used with the appropriate SR8 closing geometry.
The finished ring must provide sufficient retention without excessively crushing the wire, fabric, netting, cord or other materials being joined. Test the completed connection in the actual application before repetitive production.
KYA lists the SR8 Series as 16 gauge with an approximately 1.6mm wire diameter. Comparable SR8 fasteners in the industrial market use the same 16 gauge class.
Wire size is a critical tool-compatibility parameter. Hog rings with similar open dimensions but a different wire gauge may not feed or close correctly in an SR8 tool.
The SR8SS version is manufactured from 304 stainless steel. Stainless steel provides greater corrosion resistance than ordinary carbon steel and can be useful in damp, outdoor and corrosion-sensitive applications.
304 stainless steel should not be described as completely immune to corrosion in every environment. Prolonged saltwater exposure, chloride-rich environments or aggressive chemicals may require another stainless grade or a different fastening specification.
| Model | Material / Finish | Point | Rings/Strip | Rings/Box |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SR8SS | Stainless Steel | Sharp | 50 | 2,500 |
| SR8G | Galvanized Steel | Sharp | 50 | 2,500 |
| SR8GB | Galvanized Steel | Blunt | 50 | 2,500 |
| SR8GF | Galfan / Zn-Al Coated Steel | Sharp | 50 | 2,500 |
Select the material according to corrosion exposure, required service life, application and customer specification. Stainless steel and galvanized versions should not automatically be treated as equivalent for severe outdoor or marine environments.
| Point Type | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| Sharp Point | Useful when the ring needs to penetrate suitable fabric, netting, geotextile or other compatible material before closure. |
| Blunt Point | Useful where piercing is unnecessary and the ring only needs to close around wire, cord, mesh or other components. |
Blunt-point availability varies by material. Confirm the exact point and stainless-steel specification before ordering if a stainless blunt SR8 configuration is required.
SR8 is a specific hog ring series and should be used with a tool designed for the SR8 profile. The G7 manual C-ring tool is an established industry reference specifically designed to close SR8 Series hog rings.
| Tool Reference | Compatibility Guidance |
|---|---|
| G7 / HRP7 Manual Hog Ring Tool | Dedicated SR8 Series tool reference for galvanized, blunt and stainless SR8 C-rings. |
| KYA SR8 Hog Ring Plier | KYA offers a dedicated manual SR8 tool; confirm the exact ring dimensions supplied with the current tool version. |
| Other Manual or Pneumatic Tools | Confirm 16GA wire, approximately 17.5mm open crown, 7.1mm closed diameter and magazine configuration before use. |
Do not assume compatibility with SC760, SC7E, BeA C7 or other C-ring tools solely from brand or general crown descriptions. Many of these tools are designed for different gauges or ring series.
SR8 C rings are commonly used to connect compatible wire mesh in animal cages, poultry cages, traps and related wire-fabrication applications.
The closed ring should capture the wires securely without leaving excessive movement or deforming the mesh. Verify wire combination and finished closure before high-volume assembly.
SR8 rings are used in selected fencing, bird-control netting, nursery netting, erosion-control and mesh-fastening applications.
For outdoor use, choose the fastener material according to moisture, chemicals, salt exposure and expected service life. Stainless steel provides additional corrosion resistance where galvanized steel may not meet the project requirement.
304 stainless SR8 rings can be considered for boat upholstery, outdoor fabric and other moisture-sensitive fastening where 304 stainless steel meets the required exposure conditions.
For continuous saltwater contact, severe coastal exposure or chloride-rich environments, confirm whether 304 stainless steel is sufficient or whether another stainless grade is required.
SR8-type rings can also be used in compatible upholstery, bedding and spring-fastening operations where the 7.1mm closed diameter is appropriate for the materials being joined.
Do not select SR8 solely because another upholstery application uses a C ring. Automotive seating and mattress production frequently use other C-ring series with different gauges and closure diameters.
