Jergens 801088 Ball Grip Quick-release Pin T-handle

Product Description

The JERGENS 801088 is a T-handle ball grip quick-release pin designed for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in structural, jig, fixture, and equipment assembly applications. The pin body is 17-4 stainless steel with a passivated finish, providing strong corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The 17-4 stainless steel ball mechanism is rated at Rockwell C40 hardness, and the pin carries a breaking strength of 36,900 pounds. An anodized black cast aluminum T-handle makes repeated operation straightforward for technicians working in tight production or maintenance cycles.

This quick-release pin suits industrial maintenance, manufacturing fixture work, aerospace ground support, and field service applications where components need to be secured and released repeatedly without tools. The T-handle form factor is preferred in applications where operators need a positive grip with gloves on or in confined spaces. The passivated stainless steel body resists moisture and mild chemical exposure, making it appropriate for outdoor equipment, marine-adjacent assemblies, and food-adjacent environments where ferrous fasteners are not acceptable.

Key Features

• 17-4 stainless steel pin and ball with Rockwell C40 hardness for durability under repeated cycling
• Breaking strength of 36,900 pounds for high-load fixture and assembly applications
• Passivated pin finish for corrosion resistance without additional coatings
• Black cast aluminum T-handle for positive grip and ergonomic repeated operation
• Conforms to fastener standards MS17985 and NAS1333-NAS1343
• 0.5 inch pin diameter with 2.5 inches of usable length and 4.1 inches overall length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or OEM-style quick-release pin for fixtures, jigs, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/2 inch diameter ball grip T-handle pin meeting MS17985 and NAS1333-NAS1343 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal require no tools - align the pin with the mating hole, depress the ball detent, insert to full depth, and release to lock. Verify the hole diameter and usable length match application requirements before installation. Inspect the ball detent mechanism for full engagement after seating. Remove and replace if the detent no longer locks positively under load.
