Sourcing the right E Clip can be difficult at times, simply down to not knowing the exact size you need.

It is important to remember the following…

Metric E Clips (DIN 6799) are always listed the groove size they are fitting in to on the shaft. Here’s an example: If you have shaft that measures between 8mm -11mm and has a groove size will be 7mm. This means you will require a 7mm E Clip.

Imperial E Clips (N1500) are always listed by the shaft size they are fitting on to. For example: If you have a shaft size of 1/4″ (0.25″) you will require a 1/4″ E Clip.
