O-Rings
O-rings are circular metal connectors used to create secure attachment points for straps, webbing, chains, and hardware components in industrial and consumer products.
Unlike D-rings, O-rings have a fully round shape that allows straps and hardware to move freely around the connector. This makes them widely used in bag manufacturing, pet equipment, cargo systems, and industrial strap assemblies.
Granat Industries supplies O-rings in multiple materials and finishes for manufacturers and distributors who require reliable strap hardware for OEM production and bulk purchasing.

What Are O-Rings?
O-rings are circular metal connectors designed to attach straps, webbing, chains, or accessory hardware in manufactured products. Because the connector forms a complete circle, attached components can rotate freely around the ring.
This design allows greater movement and flexibility compared to D-shaped connectors. As a result, O-rings are commonly used in strap assemblies, bags, and equipment where movement between components is required.
Industrial Uses of O-Rings
Metal O-rings are widely used across many industries as general-purpose hardware connectors. Their circular shape allows straps and attachments to move naturally while still maintaining a secure connection.
- Backpacks, bags, and luggage strap hardware
- Pet collars, leashes, and harness systems
- Industrial strap and webbing assemblies
- Cargo and load securing hardware
- Outdoor equipment and tactical gear
- Fashion accessories and garment hardware
Because they provide flexible movement, O-rings are often used where hardware components must pivot or rotate during use.
Material Options for O-Rings
O-rings are produced in several materials depending on the strength, weight, and corrosion resistance required for the application.
- Steel provides strong and durable hardware suitable for many general industrial applications.
- Stainless steel offers improved corrosion resistance for outdoor or high-moisture environments.
- Zinc die cast allows lightweight hardware with consistent shapes for consumer products.
- Solid brass provides corrosion resistance and a distinctive metallic appearance often used in premium hardware.
Selecting the correct material helps ensure the connector performs reliably in its intended environment.
Available Hardware Finishes
Metal O-rings are available in a variety of finishes to provide corrosion protection and match product design requirements.
- Nickel plated
- Black resin coating
- Zinc plated
- Antique brass finish
- Brass plated finish
These finishes help protect the underlying metal while giving manufacturers flexibility when selecting hardware for their product designs.
Available O-Ring Sizes
O-rings are sized according to the internal diameter of the ring, which determines the width of straps or hardware that can pass through the connector.
- 1 inch O-rings
- 1 1/8 inch O-rings
- 1 1/4 inch O-rings
- 1 1/2 inch O-rings
- 1 3/4 inch O-rings
- 2 inch O-rings
- 2 1/4 inch O-rings
- 2 1/2 inch O-rings
- 7 inch O-rings
Choosing the correct size ensures compatibility with straps, webbing, or hardware components used in the final product.
O-Rings for OEM Manufacturing and Bulk Hardware Supply
O-rings are widely sourced by manufacturers as standardized hardware components used in product assembly. Because they are simple, durable connectors, they can be integrated into many different equipment and consumer product designs.
Industries that commonly use O-rings include:
- Bag and luggage manufacturing
- Outdoor and tactical gear brands
- Pet equipment manufacturers
- Industrial strap and harness producers
- Fashion accessory manufacturers
Bulk sourcing allows manufacturers to maintain consistent hardware specifications and simplify procurement across production runs.
