KYA 11GA C45 aluminum hog rings are heavy-duty C-style fasteners designed for large wire, mesh, netting, bag-closing and industrial fastening applications. The featured configuration uses approximately 3.0 mm aluminum wire with a nominal 1-1/2" open size and approximately 9/16" closed inside diameter.
Aluminum provides a lightweight, non-ferrous alternative to steel hog rings and develops a protective surface oxide in normal atmospheric exposure. The C45 format is suitable for compatible gabion, fencing, cage, netting, large bag and selected marine-related assemblies when the material, joint strength and environmental requirements are appropriate.
11 gauge heavy-duty format: approximately 3.0 mm wire for large C-ring fastening applications.
1-1/2" nominal open size: suitable for applications requiring a large ring opening around wire, mesh, rope or bundled material.
9/16" nominal closed I.D.: approximately 14 mm after closure with a compatible jaw configuration.
Aluminum construction: lower-density non-ferrous material for applications where reduced fastener weight is useful.
Sharp point configuration: designed for applications where the ring tip must engage fabric, burlap, netting or similar material before closure.
C-style geometry: forms around wire, mesh and flexible materials when compressed by a compatible hog ring tool.
1,600 rings per box: industrial packaging for manufacturers, fencing suppliers and fastener distributors.

The terms 1-1/2" open size and 45 mm tool crown may appear together in different product and tool specifications because manufacturers can reference different measurement points on the open C-ring. When matching fasteners to a tool, compare the complete ring profile rather than converting only one nominal dimension.
The C45 belongs to the large 11 gauge C-ring platform. Its approximately 3.0 mm wire diameter provides a substantially larger fastener cross-section than common 15GA and 16GA upholstery or light-duty C-rings.
Gauge and wire diameter alone do not define joint strength. Aluminum, galvanized carbon steel, Galfan-coated steel and stainless steel have different mechanical properties, so buyers should select the material according to the required joint performance as well as corrosion exposure.
This large C-ring format is commonly specified with an approximately 1-1/2" open size and 9/16" closed inside diameter. It is designed to capture larger wire bundles, heavy netting, mesh and other materials that require more clearance than smaller 3/4" or 11/16" hog rings.
The finished closure depends on the tool jaw profile and material bundle. Comparable 11GA pneumatic tools publish closure ranges around approximately 9/16"–5/8", so a specific finished diameter should be verified using the intended tool and workpiece.
When the pneumatic tool is actuated, the jaws form the open C-ring around the material being joined. The nominal 9/16" closed inside diameter is a useful reference when selecting the fastener, but the actual finished loop can vary according to the tool, ring material and workpiece.
The featured aluminum C45 uses sharp points. Sharp-point hog rings are useful where the fastener tips must engage or penetrate burlap, woven fabric, heavy netting or similar flexible material before the ring is fully closed.
For wire-to-wire fastening or applications where material penetration is not required, a blunt-point C45 configuration may be preferred where available.
Aluminum has substantially lower density than steel, which reduces fastener and packaged product weight. In the same 11GA 1-1/2" hog ring family, aluminum configurations are therefore considerably lighter than comparable steel-ring packaging.
Aluminum also develops a thin protective oxide film in air and does not produce the red iron oxide associated with carbon steel. However, aluminum can still corrode under certain conditions, particularly in chloride-rich environments or when electrically coupled to dissimilar metals.
For continuous saltwater, aquaculture or coastal installations, confirm the aluminum alloy, mating-wire material and expected service environment rather than assuming universal corrosion immunity.
| Material | Main Characteristic | Selection Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | Low-density non-ferrous material with good atmospheric corrosion behavior. | Choose where reduced weight and aluminum material compatibility are important. |
| Galvanized Steel | Steel substrate with zinc corrosion protection. | Common general-purpose option where steel mechanical properties are preferred. |
| Galfan | Steel ring with zinc-aluminum alloy coating. | Used where enhanced coated-steel corrosion performance is required. |
| Stainless Steel | Corrosion-resistant steel alloy with different mechanical properties from aluminum. | Consider for demanding wet or corrosive environments; confirm the required stainless grade. |
KYA supplies C-style hog rings in several gauges and open sizes. Select the ring according to the material bundle, required closure, tool platform and mechanical requirements rather than only by application name.
| Ring Class | Nominal Open Size | Typical Closed I.D. | Wire Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small C-Ring | 1/2" | Approximately 1/8"–3/16" | Commonly 16GA |
| SR8 / 616 Class | 11/16" | Approximately 9/32" | 16GA |
| 15-100 / 16-110 Class | 3/4" | Depends on gauge and tool platform | 15GA or 16GA |
| C45 Heavy-Duty Class | 1-1/2" | Approximately 9/16" | 11GA / approximately 3.0 mm |
The C45 aluminum configuration is supplied at 1,600 rings per box. Buyers should confirm the current strip collation, carton weight and pallet configuration with the quotation because collation and export packing can vary between production specifications.
Gabion baskets: selected wire-to-wire fastening where the specified ring material and closure meet the gabion system requirements.
Commercial fencing: heavy mesh and fencing assemblies requiring a large C-ring.
Wire cages and enclosures: heavy-duty cage and containment structures.
Large bag closure: burlap, woven and other compatible industrial bag materials.
Heavy netting: joining or securing compatible netting, rope and mesh materials.
Erosion-control products: selected mesh, mat and related fastening operations.
Tree staking and landscaping: heavy-duty attachment applications where a large C-ring is appropriate.
Aquaculture and marine-related assemblies: selected applications where aluminum material is specified and material compatibility has been verified.
Heavy 11GA C-rings are used in wire-to-wire and gabion-related assembly applications because the large open size can capture substantial mesh or wire intersections.
Engineered gabion systems can specify exact ring material, wire diameter, tensile performance, closure, ring spacing and coating. Use the C45 aluminum ring only where those project requirements permit aluminum fasteners.
The 1-1/2" C-ring platform can be used for selected commercial fence and heavy wire-mesh assemblies. Before production use, confirm the fence-wire diameter, number of wires captured in each ring, ring spacing and required pull-apart performance.
When the fence wire and aluminum ring are dissimilar metals, environmental exposure should also be evaluated to reduce the risk of galvanic corrosion.
Professional 11GA 1-1/2" C-ring tools are used for very large bag closure. Sharp-point rings are suitable when the fastener tips need to penetrate burlap or other woven materials before the ring is clinched around the bag neck.
For poly bags or materials that should not be pierced, a blunt-point fastener may be more appropriate.
Large aluminum C-rings can be considered for compatible crab-pot, lobster-trap, oyster, mussel and aquaculture assemblies where aluminum is accepted by the equipment specification.
Continuous saltwater exposure is demanding for any metallic fastener. Aluminum does not produce red rust like carbon steel, but chloride attack and galvanic interaction with other metals can still occur. Confirm the alloy, mating materials and required service life for marine production.
C45 aluminum rings belong to the heavy-duty 11GA large C-ring platform. Tool matching should be based on complete ring geometry, wire diameter, closure range and collation rather than the brand name alone.
| Tool Platform | Published Ring Reference |
|---|---|
| KYA C-50 | 45 mm tool crown, approximately 3.0 mm ring thickness and approximately 13.5–14.0 mm closure. |
| KYA PFC50 | Heavy-duty 45 mm / 3.0 mm C-ring platform; confirm jaw and required closure for the selected ring. |
| BOSTITCH SC50T | Established pneumatic platform for 11GA 1-1/2" C-type hog rings. |
| KHF C1511 | Uses 1-1/2" 11GA C-rings with approximately 9/16"–5/8" closure range. |
Before bulk use, verify the open ring profile, 3.0 mm wire dimension, ring height, collation, magazine fit and required finished closure with the exact tool.
The KYA C-50 pneumatic hog ring plier is designed for large 3.0 mm C-rings. Its published tool specification lists approximately 45 mm crown and 13.5–14.0 mm closure diameter, placing it in the same heavy C-ring class as the C45 product.
Because ring and tool pages can use different reference points when describing crown width, confirm the physical ring profile and sample feed before production use.
The PFC50 is also designed around approximately 45 mm crown and 3.0 mm thick heavy-duty C-rings. Its published closure specification differs from the C-50, so the required finished ring diameter should be checked before selecting the PFC50 for a specific C45 application.
The BOSTITCH SC50T and KHF C1511 represent a well-established 11GA 1-1/2" C-ring platform. Comparable aluminum rings in this system use approximately 1-1/2" open size, 9/16" closed size and 11 gauge wire.
When using third-party rings in these tools, verify strip construction and ring dimensions before ordering production quantities.
| Point Type | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Sharp Point | Useful for burlap, woven bags, heavy fabric, netting and other materials that require tip penetration before closure. |
| Blunt Point | Useful for wire-to-wire closure, poly bags and selected assemblies where piercing is unnecessary or a snag-reduced closure is preferred. |
| Selection Item | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Tool Model | Confirm the tool is designed for the heavy 11GA 1-1/2" / C45 ring class. |
| Wire Diameter | Approximately 3.0 mm. |
| Open Ring Size | Confirm the complete C-ring profile rather than relying only on nominal inch or millimeter naming. |
| Required Closure | Confirm the desired finished inside diameter and matching tool jaw. |
| Material | Confirm aluminum provides the required joint strength and environmental performance. |
| Point Style | Choose sharp or blunt according to whether the ring must penetrate the material. |
| Environment | For outdoor, coastal or marine applications, evaluate chloride exposure and contact with dissimilar metals. |
| Packing | 1,600 pcs per box; confirm current strip collation and export packing with the quotation. |
For an accurate quotation, provide the required quantity, tool model, point type, application, mesh or wire diameter, required closed ring diameter, service environment and destination market.
For engineered gabions, commercial fencing or marine equipment, also provide any required mechanical performance, material specification or corrosion requirement so the correct C45 material can be evaluated.
They are heavy-duty 11 gauge aluminum C-rings with approximately 3.0 mm wire, a nominal 1-1/2" open size and approximately 9/16" closed inside diameter.
The current C45 specification uses approximately 3.0 mm wire, corresponding to the 11 gauge heavy-duty hog ring platform.
The nominal closed inside diameter is approximately 9/16" / 14 mm. Actual closure depends on the tool jaw and material being fastened.
Fastener and tool manufacturers can measure different points on an open C-ring. A nominal 1-1/2" ring can therefore be associated with a tool specification using a larger crown dimension. Match the complete ring geometry, wire diameter and closure range rather than relying on a single converted number.
Aluminum does not develop the red iron rust seen on carbon steel, but it can still corrode under certain environmental conditions. Chlorides, chemicals and contact with dissimilar metals should be considered when selecting aluminum.
Yes. Aluminum has lower density than steel, so comparable aluminum C-rings have lower fastener weight. Exact ring and carton weights depend on the production geometry and packaging.
Not necessarily. Gauge describes fastener size, not material strength. Aluminum and steel have different mechanical properties, so joint strength should be evaluated from the actual fastener and application.
They can be used in selected gabion and heavy wire-mesh fastening applications where the gabion specification permits an 11GA aluminum C-ring. Confirm required ring material, spacing and mechanical performance before use.
Yes, for compatible heavy wire and mesh fencing applications. Confirm the wire bundle size, required closure and material compatibility before production use.
They can be considered where the trap or pot specification permits aluminum rings. For continuous saltwater use, confirm the aluminum alloy, mating materials and required service life because aluminum can still experience chloride or galvanic corrosion.
Yes. Sharp-point 11GA 1-1/2" C-rings are used for very large woven and burlap bag closure where the ring tips must penetrate the material before clinching.
Sharp points are selected when the tips need to penetrate burlap, fabric or netting. Blunt points are useful when the ring closes around the materials without piercing them or where a less snag-prone closure is preferred.
The KYA C-50 is designed for approximately 45 mm crown, 3.0 mm heavy C-rings with 13.5–14.0 mm closure. Confirm the production ring profile and collation with the tool before bulk use.
The PFC50 is a 45 mm / 3.0 mm heavy C-ring platform. Because its published closure specification differs from the C-50, confirm the required closure and jaw configuration for the application.
The BOSTITCH SC50T is an established tool for 11GA 1-1/2" C-type hog rings. Confirm third-party ring collation and dimensions before production use.
The KHF C1511 is designed for 11GA 1-1/2" C-rings with an approximately 9/16"–5/8" closure range. Confirm strip geometry before using a third-party ring.
No. Heavy-duty hog ring tools use different crown dimensions, gauges, magazine formats and jaw profiles. Match the complete fastener specification to the exact tool.
The C45 aluminum configuration is supplied at 1,600 rings per box. Confirm the current strip collation and export packing with your quotation.
The broader 11GA 1-1/2" C-ring family includes galvanized steel, Galfan-coated steel, stainless steel and aluminum configurations.
The correct material depends on moisture, chemicals, chloride exposure, mating metals, required joint strength and expected service life. Provide the operating environment when requesting material guidance.
Provide the required quantity, tool model, sharp or blunt point, application, mesh or wire size, required closed diameter, environmental exposure and destination market.
