HOG RINGS
C Series and CL Series Hog Rings
Collated C-shaped rings. Exact series is identified by dimensions, not the photograph.
Open-ring and point detail.
Ring-closing tool reference. Confirm the exact model, jaw and approved ring series.
17–63 mm crown · Ø1.6–3.0 mm
C-shaped rings for upholstery, mattress, wire and assembly applications. Match the wire diameter, open dimensions and closing tool to your workpiece.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Where it's used
Explore the materials, joints and workshop tasks below. Match the fastener size and tool to your own workpiece before ordering.
Seat-cover listing wire attachment
A closed ring joins the cover listing to its receiving wire without driving into timber.
Mattress border-wire connections
Match the ring closure to the spring and border-wire dimensions of the assembly.
Wire-mesh panel joining
Evaluate the finished ring gap and exposed ends on the actual mesh-panel connection.

For CL-50, the reference table lists a 45 mm crown. Confirm the drawing before ordering; the model number is not a dimension.
THE FINISHED JOINT IS THE TARGET
Open ring → tool → closure → connection.

Measurement guide · schematic, not to scale. Refer to the listed dimensions and an approved order drawing.
01
Open geometry
Match the listed open crown and wire diameter.
02
Closing tool
Confirm the exact jaw, magazine and accepted ring series.
03
Closed form
Confirm the required closure with a sample; it is not derived from the open crown.
04
Finished connection
Check grip, clearance, fabric protection and the joined wire or mesh.
Open C-ring detail. Closed geometry depends on the ring and tool combination.
For mesh, bedding and upholstery assembly
Specify the components being joined, their combined thickness and the desired closed joint. A mesh manufacturer and an upholstery assembler may need different clearances even when an open ring has the same nominal size.
Choose for your workpiece and equipment
01
Start with the closed joint
Specify the target closed inside diameter and joined bundle size. An open crown dimension does not describe the final grip.
02
Match the ring tool
Provide the ring designation, wire diameter, strip form and exact jaw or tool model. C17 through larger C and CL references are separate geometries.
03
Inspect a completed connection
Check closure symmetry, loose movement, cut fabric, sharp protrusions and repeatable feeding. Agree any pull or fatigue assessment with your product engineering team.
DEFINE THE ORDER, NOT JUST THE FASTENER
Packing, samples and order documentation.
Quantity & packing unit
State your quantity in pieces, strips, reels, boxes or cartons. Confirm the conversion between inner packs and shipping cartons.
Samples & minimum order
Send the selected specification and trial quantity. Sample availability, minimum order and lead time will be checked for the requested configuration.
Labels & documentation
Discuss custom packing, private labels and required drawings or documents before order approval. Keep an agreed sample, label and specification reference for repeat orders.
Questions before you order
Should I order by crown width or closed size?
Provide both. Crown width helps identify the unclosed ring; closed size and the joined materials determine whether the finished connection is appropriate.
Can the rings fasten seat fabric directly to a wooden frame?
They normally close around mating components. Fabric-to-wood attachment usually calls for a suitable upholstery staple and stapler.
Application limits to check
- Hog rings do not replace staples driven into timber.
- Do not select by open width alone or assume all C-type tools share jaws.
