Ridgid 15218 Pivot Pin with Retaining Rings

Product Description

The RIDGID 15218 is a replacement pivot pin assembly with retaining rings, designed to restore proper articulation and mechanical connection in RIDGID power tools and pipe-working equipment. Pivot pins serve as the rotating axis point between hinged or jointed components, and the included retaining rings lock the pin securely in place to prevent lateral movement during operation. This is an OEM replacement part intended for installation by qualified technicians and experienced tradespeople performing tool maintenance or field repairs.

This pivot pin assembly is suited for use in RIDGID power tools and accessories that rely on a pinned pivot joint for mechanical function. Typical applications include hinged guards, handle assemblies, linkage mechanisms, and similar jointed components found in pipe cutters, threading machines, and related trade equipment. It is intended as a like-for-like replacement to return a worn or damaged pivot connection to factory condition.
