Value Collection 245106PR Dowel Pin 1/8x1-1/4 Ss Grade 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 245106PR is a precision dowel pin machined from Grade 316 stainless steel to ASME B18.8.2 standards. It measures 0.125 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches in overall length, with a beveled end and a bright, uncoated finish. Diameter tolerance is held to 0.0002 inches, making it suitable for close-tolerance locating and alignment applications. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians install these pins where accurate, repeatable part registration is required in assemblies, fixtures, and jigs.

This dowel pin is suited for precision assembly work in industrial, marine, food-processing, and chemical environments where corrosion resistance is a priority. Grade 316 stainless steel offers improved resistance to chlorides and harsh process fluids compared to standard 304 stainless. Typical applications include fixture building, die alignment, hinge pinning, and component registration in both OEM manufacturing and field maintenance settings.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precise locating and repeatable fitment
• Beveled end type for easier insertion into close-tolerance holes
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating thickness to account for in tight-tolerance fits
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.2 fastener standard
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per pin

Compatibility

Designed as a standard precision dowel pin for use in fixtures, jigs, dies, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.125-inch nominal diameter locating pin per ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically pressed or driven into reamed holes using an arbor press or mallet and punch — never install by striking the exposed end directly without a proper driver to avoid deforming the pin. Power down and de-energize or de-pressurize any assembly before replacing or installing locating pins. Verify hole diameter and finish match the pin tolerance class before installation. Removal typically requires a press or a pin punch from the opposite side of the bore.
