Gibraltar HCP5712 Hard Core Pin 7/64 in 14 in Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR HCP5712 is a steel hard core pin designed for use in fastening, alignment, and assembly applications across a range of industrial and mechanical environments. The pin measures 7/64 inches in pin diameter and 14 inches in overall length, with a 1/4-inch head diameter and 1/8-inch head height. The headed design allows for controlled seating and positive retention when driven into pre-drilled or punched holes. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working with metal fabrication, structural assemblies, and mechanical equipment will encounter this type of fastener during routine installation and repair tasks.

This hard core pin is suited for light industrial, commercial, and trade applications where a driven, headed pin is required for alignment or retention. Its all-steel construction makes it appropriate for use in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and structural components where durability and dimensional consistency matter. At 14 inches in overall length, it accommodates deeper through-hole applications that shorter pins cannot reach.

Key Features

• Steel construction for strength and durability in mechanical and structural applications
• 7/64 inch pin diameter for precision fit in corresponding pre-drilled holes
• 14 inch overall length accommodates deep through-hole installations
• 1/4 inch head diameter provides positive seating and prevents over-penetration
• 1/8 inch head height keeps a low profile after installation
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement without excess inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-application hard core pin for mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and structural components requiring a 7/64 inch driven steel pin with a headed profile.

Installation Notes

Hard core pins of this type are typically installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, or mechanical contractors using a pin punch and hammer or hydraulic press, depending on fit tolerance. Always ensure the receiving hole is clean and sized correctly before driving the pin to avoid deforming the head or the workpiece. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving or removing steel pins. To remove, use a properly sized pin punch aligned with the center axis to avoid damaging surrounding material.
