Description of Change: A 2L6726 Retainer Ring has been added to the 8T3216 Anvil Assembly. The new retainer ring will help hold the rubber plug in position in the anvil base. See the illustration. Formerly, the rubber plug could be pushed back into the base by the pin in the spherical head. This could allow the spherical head to slip out of the base. The new retainer ring will help prevent this problem.
Adaptable To: The 2L6726 Retainer Ring can be added to earlier 8T3216 Anvil Assemblies as shown in the illustration.
