Value Collection 245112PR Dowel Pin 1/8x1.5 in Ss Grade 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 245112PR is a precision dowel pin manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It measures 0.125 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in overall length, holding a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches — a level of precision that makes it suitable for close-tolerance alignment, locating, and fastening applications. Both ends are beveled for ease of installation. Manufactured to ASME B18.8.2, this pin meets recognized dimensional and mechanical standards used across machining, fabrication, and maintenance trades.

This pin is used wherever accurate component alignment or positioning is required, including machine assemblies, jig and fixture builds, tooling setups, and general industrial fabrication. Grade 316 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical, or marine environments. Machinists, tool and die makers, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically specify this pin when standard carbon steel pins are not adequate for the service environment.

Key Features

• Precision ground to a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for reliable close-fit alignment
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Beveled ends allow smooth, guided entry into bored holes without damage to mating components
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains tight dimensional integrity without added coating thickness
• Meets ASME B18.8.2 standard for precision dowel pin dimensional requirements
• Minimum order quantity of 10 pieces ensures adequate supply for production and maintenance applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision locating pin for use in any assembly, fixture, or machine component requiring a standard 0.125-inch diameter precision dowel per ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Installation of precision dowel pins requires a bored or reamed hole sized to match the pin's tolerance class. Pressing is typically performed using an arbor press or a calibrated bench press — never drive precision pins with a hammer, as this risks damaging the bore or the pin's ground surface. Power down and de-energize any machine or assembly before installing or removing locating pins. Follow applicable facility safety and lockout/tagout procedures before service.
