SORRY, I thought I posted it last night it didnt go through!
Yes, that snap ring is readily available from McMaster Carr (in Stainless), but you may have to buy a bag (probably less than $10 for the bag) and shipping is always another $10...
Most of us remove the clip and never put it back. It really serves very little purpose... that is unless you have little kids that like to take things apart, like pens to see how they work... and they don't put things back together...
Here is a link to another thread that someone has some new snap rings (from Aqua Lung) in stock. Since you only need one the price is very reasonable (compared to buying a bag).

If you still have trouble getting one, let us know... like I said, there are a bunch of us, that must have a bunch of this snap rings that we have removed and they are stored somewhere...
Note: do not discourage your little kids from taking apart pens (and other non-dangerous items)... they may become engineers one day.

Conshelf XIV 1st stage retaining ring
I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get yoke retaining rings for a Conshelf XIV 1st stage. I’ve seen plenty of sites selling the filter retaining rings but I haven’t found any of the larger yoke retaining rings. I’ve got a picture of the ring connected to the first stage. Any help would...

Thanks... Will the ring for the XIV be compatible with the SE2? Is there a part #?Yes, that snap ring is readily available from McMaster Carr (in Stainless), but you may have to buy a bag (probably less than $10 for the bag) and shipping is always another $10...

This is great!
Item 5 on the top diagram (PN 861068), that I posted yesterday.
The 4th post on that other thread (that I linked above) should help you. @akdeepdiver should be able to help you, he even included an email address.
Yes, they are all exactly the same.

That is a standard part. Aqua Lung would probably never actually made something standard of the shelf.
You could use this one. It is not exactly the same but it will do the same job.
I did find a perfect match in McMaster Carr, but they only carry the one that looks the same in regular steel, not SS.
If you want a perfect match, I would recommend buying it from that other fellow in Texas.

Take a look at the two snap rings below. They are both from McMaster Carr, but the first picture is not available in stainless (at least nor now).
The style shown in the first picture is what the Aqua Lung part looks like. You can see it on the picture posted on the previous page.
