Product Description
Price is for each.
Manufacturer Part Number: S-0243
304 Stainless Steel
* For use with 1" webbing
In the D Ring product series (S-0243, S-0247, S-0248, and S-0249) primarily they differ in the opening size (the inner width across the straight bar of the "D" shape), but there are no significant differences beyond that based on the available specifications.
All four share the exact same core attributes:
Size Comparison Table
Other Potential Minor Differences
In short, this is a classic "series" lineup where manufacturers vary only the opening to match common webbing/strap sizes (e.g., 1", 1.5", 2"), while keeping everything else identical for consistency in performance, pricing, and inventory. The choice comes down to what size strap or attachment you need to thread through it.
304 Stainless Steel
| Stock | 3/16" |
| Opening | 1-1/8" |
| Material | 304 Stainless Steel |
* For use with 1" webbing
In the D Ring product series (S-0243, S-0247, S-0248, and S-0249) primarily they differ in the opening size (the inner width across the straight bar of the "D" shape), but there are no significant differences beyond that based on the available specifications.
All four share the exact same core attributes:
- Material: 304 Stainless Steel (304SS) - offering identical corrosion resistance, strength properties, and suitability for marine/outdoor use.
- Stock thickness (wire/rod diameter): 3/16" (approximately 0.1875" or 4.76 mm) - this determines the cross-sectional strength and overall durability under load.
- Construction style: Formed (bent) D-ring with a butted (non-welded) gap at the straight bar for easy threading of straps/webbing.
- Finish: Polished stainless steel appearance.
- Load rating / intended use: These appear to be light-to-medium duty hardware (e.g., for webbing, straps, marine, or general attachment), not heavy-rated rigging hardware. No variations in working load limits (WLL) or certifications are indicated across the SKUs.
- Manufacturer/brand context: These SKUs (e.g., from Whitecap or similar marine/hardware suppliers) are part of a standardized series where the only variable listed is the opening size to accommodate different strap widths or attachment needs.
Size Comparison Table
Part | Stock (Wire Diameter) | Opening (Inner Width) | Key Difference | Typical Webbing/Strap Compatibility |
S-0243 | 3/16" | 1-1/8" (1.125") | Smallest opening | Narrower straps (e.g., ~1" webbing) |
S-0247 | 3/16" | 1-1/16" (~1.0625") | Slightly smaller than S-0243 | Similar to ~1" webbing |
S-0248 | 3/16" | 1-3/4" (1.75") | Medium-large opening | Wider straps (e.g., 1.5" webbing) |
S-0249 | 3/16" | 2-3/8" (2.375") | Largest opening | Widest straps (e.g., 2" webbing) |
Other Potential Minor Differences
- Overall ring dimensions (e.g., total height from flat bar to curve apex or inner area): These scale naturally with the opening size - larger openings result in a slightly taller/larger overall ring shape, but the wire thickness remains constant, so weight and bulk increase modestly.
- Weight: Slightly heavier for larger models due to more material in the curved portion, but the difference is negligible (typically under 0.1-0.2 oz per ring).
- No evidence of differences in:
- Strength ratings (all share the same stock size, so comparable breaking/ working loads when used similarly).
- Manufacturing process or tolerances beyond size scaling.
- Features like welding (none are welded; all butted).
- Grade variations (all 304SS, not switching to 316SS or other alloys).
In short, this is a classic "series" lineup where manufacturers vary only the opening to match common webbing/strap sizes (e.g., 1", 1.5", 2"), while keeping everything else identical for consistency in performance, pricing, and inventory. The choice comes down to what size strap or attachment you need to thread through it.
NOTE: The difference between packaged and not packaged items is that a packaged item has a card with either a plastic encasing (blister) or a polybag usually for displaying purposes.
