Description

This retaining ring secures a component in its groove on a shaft or housing, keeping parts aligned and in place during operation. Replace a bent, stretched, or missing ring to restore a tight hold and reduce movement or noise.

• Secures a component by seating in a groove on a shaft or inside a bore
• Maintains correct axial position so parts don't slide off during use
• Helps reduce wobble, vibration, or rattling caused by loose assemblies
• Typical symptoms: part won't stay seated, excess play or movement, scraping/rattling noises, or a visibly deformed ring

What's included: One retaining ring Install notes:

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas if applicable. Wear eye protection and gloves
• Note ring orientation; use appropriate snap-ring/circlip pliers or picks—avoid overstretching
• Clean the groove and seat the ring fully; secure fit
