KYA 515DSS50 stainless steel D hog rings are 15 gauge collated fasteners with a 9/16" / approximately 14.3mm open crown, 1.8mm wire diameter and approximately 1/4" / 6.35mm closed size. The featured product uses SS304 stainless steel and a sharp point for applications requiring the ring to penetrate fabric, webbing or other suitable materials during fastening.
The D-shaped ring is designed to close around wire, fabric, mesh, cord or other components when installed with a compatible 9/16" D-ring tool. Typical applications include upholstery, automotive seating, bedding, wire cages, fencing, netting, bag closure and other industrial fastening operations.
Each collated strip contains 50 rings, and KYA lists 2,500 rings per box for the 515DSS50 stainless sharp-point configuration. Tool compatibility should be checked by ring gauge, open crown, wire diameter, collation format and final closure geometry rather than by gauge alone.

The 515DSS50 is a relatively compact D-style hog ring with a 9/16" open crown. When the ring is driven and formed by the tool, the legs curl inward around the joined materials to create the completed closure.
The ring uses approximately 1.8mm / .072" wire. When replacing another manufacturer's D ring, use the actual wire diameter and ring dimensions rather than relying only on the 15 gauge description.
The open ring measures approximately 9/16" / 14.3mm. This dimension is one of the most important parameters when matching a ring to a manual or pneumatic D-ring tool.
KYA lists an approximately 1/4" / 6.35mm closed size. Final closure can be influenced by the tool jaws, adjustment, joined material thickness and ring-forming geometry.
The featured 515DSS50 uses sharp points. This configuration is useful where the ring needs to pierce suitable fabric, webbing or other material before the ring closes around the assembly.
Where piercing is unnecessary or exposed sharp points are undesirable, a blunt-point version should be considered instead.
The featured KYA configuration is manufactured from SS304 stainless steel. Stainless steel provides higher corrosion resistance than ordinary uncoated carbon steel and is useful in suitable humid, exterior and corrosion-sensitive fastening environments.
Stainless steel should not be described as completely immune to corrosion in every chemical or marine environment. Material selection should reflect the actual moisture, salt, chemical and service conditions.
KYA lists 50 rings per strip and 2,500 rings per box for the 515DSS50. The collated format supports repeated feeding in tools designed for the 515D50 9/16" D-ring system.
The 515D50 family includes stainless and galvanized versions with sharp or blunt points. These are separate configurations and should be identified by part number when ordering.
| Model | Material / Finish | Point | Open Crown | Pcs / Box |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 515DSS50 | SS304 Stainless Steel | Sharp | 9/16" | 2,500 |
| 515DSS50B | Stainless Steel | Blunt | 9/16" | 2,500 |
| 515DG50 | Galvanized Steel | Sharp | 9/16" | 2,500 |
| 515DG50B | Galvanized Steel | Blunt | 9/16" | 2,500 |
| Point Type | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| Sharp Point | Use where the ring needs to pierce suitable fabric, webbing, covering material or other soft components before closing. |
| Blunt Point | Use where piercing is not required and the ring primarily closes around wire, cord, mesh or another component. |
Point selection should be based on the joined materials and the fastening process. Blunt point should not be described as universally safer, and sharp point should not be used where piercing could damage the assembly.
The compact 9/16" D-ring format is used in industrial fastening applications involving wire, fabric, mesh, webbing, cord and similar components.
Automotive seat upholstery
Furniture upholstery
Mattress and bedding assembly where a 9/16" D ring is specified
Wire cage assembly and repair

For large wire structures, heavy gabion assembly or other load-sensitive applications, verify that the 15 gauge 9/16" ring provides the required closed diameter and joint capacity rather than selecting it only because it is stainless steel.
Hog rings are widely used in upholstery production to connect fabric, listing wire, webbing or other seat components to a supporting frame or wire structure. The 515DSS50 sharp point can assist penetration where the fastening process requires the ring to pass through suitable soft material.
For automotive seating, confirm the seat design, listing-wire diameter, tool jaws and required closed ring dimension before production. Different seat systems can use different hog ring gauges and crown sizes.
The D-ring profile can close around intersecting wire, mesh or cord to form a compact connection. Stainless steel is useful where the assembly is exposed to moisture or where additional corrosion resistance is required compared with ordinary steel rings.
Ring size should be matched to the combined diameter of the materials being joined. A 1/4" nominal closure does not make the fastener suitable for every wire or mesh combination.
515DSS50 belongs to the 15 gauge, 9/16" D-ring size class. Use a manual or pneumatic tool specifically designed for this ring size and strip geometry.
Do not select a hog ring tool only because it is described as 15 gauge. Other 15 gauge hog ring systems can use much wider rings and are not interchangeable with the 9/16" 515D50 family.
| Reference Tool / System | Published Ring Format | 515DSS50 Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| 9/16" Manual D-Ring Tool | 15GA / 9/16" D rings | Correct tool class; confirm strip width, feed and closure geometry |
| King Steel B-14 / 515D50 System | 15GA / 9/16" / approximately 1/4" closure | Relevant market reference for the same nominal 515D50 size class |
| GL Fast 9/16" Manual Ringer | 15GA / 9/16" collated D rings / 50-ring strip | Relevant dimensional reference; confirm final closed-size requirement |
| OMER HR23 | 15GA / 1.8mm / approximately 23mm ring system | Different crown size; do not specify as a 515DSS50 tool |
| Other Hog Ring Tools | Varies by manufacturer and model | Must match 15GA, 9/16" open crown, 1.8mm wire, strip geometry and required closure |
Before purchasing a replacement ring, provide the exact tool manufacturer and model. Similar descriptions such as "15 gauge D-ring tool" do not guarantee that the magazine, jaws and closure profile match the 515D50 family.
The open crown determines how the unformed ring fits into the tool magazine and around the material before crimping. The final closed size determines how tightly the completed ring surrounds the joined components.
Two 15 gauge hog rings can use the same wire diameter while having very different open widths and closed diameters. For this reason, wire gauge alone is not sufficient for tool or application matching.
| Material | General Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| SS304 Stainless Steel | Featured 515DSS50 material; useful where improved corrosion resistance is required for suitable indoor, humid or exterior applications. |
| Galvanized Steel | 515DG50 family option using zinc-coated steel; suitable where the galvanized specification meets the service environment. |
Material selection should be based on moisture, chemicals, salt exposure, service life and purchasing specification. SS304 and galvanized steel do not provide identical corrosion performance.
Copper-plated and vinyl-coated finishes are available on request. Confirm the required finish and availability when requesting a quotation.

The 515DSS50 is a 15 gauge D-style ring with approximately 1.8mm wire, a 9/16" / 14.3mm open crown and approximately 1/4" / 6.35mm closed size.
The featured KYA 515DSS50 configuration is manufactured from SS304 stainless steel.
515DSS50 uses sharp points. The related 515DSS50B is the blunt-point stainless configuration.
Both belong to the 15 gauge 9/16" stainless D-ring family. The main distinction is point type: 515DSS50 is sharp point, while 515DSS50B is blunt point.
515DSS50 is the SS304 stainless sharp-point version. 515DG50 is the galvanized steel sharp-point version in the same nominal 15 gauge 9/16" size class.
KYA currently lists 50 rings per strip for the 515D50 series.
KYA lists 2,500 stainless sharp-point 515DSS50 rings per box.
No direct compatibility should be claimed. OMER's HR23 system uses a much wider approximately 23mm ring, while 515DSS50 has a 9/16" / approximately 14.3mm open crown.
No. A compatible tool must match the 9/16" D-ring profile, 1.8mm wire, strip geometry and required closure. Other 15 gauge tools can use substantially larger rings.
Use manual or pneumatic D-ring tools specifically designed for 15 gauge 9/16" hog rings. When ordering, provide the exact tool model so the magazine, jaws and closure geometry can be checked.
Yes, where the seat construction and tool specify a 15 gauge 9/16" D ring. Sharp points are useful when the ring needs to penetrate suitable upholstery material before closure.
KYA lists mattress and bedding applications for this product. Confirm that the particular mattress assembly uses the 9/16" D-ring size rather than a larger 3/4" or other hog ring system.
Yes, the 515D50 size class is used for selected wire, cage, mesh and fencing applications. The combined wire diameter must fit within the ring's closing geometry.
SS304 provides strong corrosion resistance for many environments, but it should not be described as immune to corrosion under every salt, chemical or marine exposure condition.
The preferred material depends on the environment, service life and purchasing specification. SS304 generally offers greater corrosion resistance than ordinary galvanized carbon steel, while galvanized rings can be appropriate for less demanding environments.
Provide the required quantity, exact hog ring tool manufacturer and model, application, material being fastened and delivery destination. Reference KYA-515DSS50 for the sharp-point SS304 version.
