Gibraltar Z1210 Flat Vent Pull Out Dowel Pin 3/8x1.5in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR Z1210 is a flat vent pull out dowel pin manufactured from case-hardened steel to Grade C1215. It measures 3/8 inch in diameter and 1.5 inches in overall length. The pin features one beveled end and one threaded end, making it well suited for controlled extraction from assemblies. Case hardening provides a hard exterior surface with a tough core, extending service life in high-cycle or load-bearing applications. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working with jigs, fixtures, or precision-assembled components are the primary installers of this type of pin.

This dowel pin is used in industrial, mechanical, and precision-assembly applications where repeatable alignment and positive pull-out capability are required. The flat vent design allows air and fluid to escape during press-fit insertion, reducing hydraulic lock. The beveled end guides entry into bored holes, while the threaded end accepts a pull-out tool for clean removal without damaging mating components. Typical settings include machine tool fixtures, die sets, and production jigs requiring frequent disassembly.

Key Features

• Flat vent design relieves hydraulic pressure during press-fit insertion
• One beveled end for guided entry into bored holes
• One threaded end for positive mechanical extraction
• Case-hardened Grade C1215 steel for wear resistance and a tough core
• Tight diameter tolerance of 0.0001 to 0.0003 inches for precise fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension flat vent pull out dowel pin for use in machined bores requiring a 3/8-inch diameter pin with 1.5-inch length in precision alignment and fixture applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or mallet with an appropriate driver. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and deburred before insertion. Power down and de-energize any associated equipment before servicing assemblies that contain these pins. Use the threaded end with the correct extraction tool to remove the pin without damaging the bore or mating parts.
