Value Collection 245262PS Dowel Pin 3/8x1-1/4 Ss 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 245262PS is a precision dowel pin machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. At 3/8 inch in diameter and 1-1/4 inches in overall length, this pin is manufactured to ASME B18.8.2 standards with a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches, ensuring tight, repeatable fits in precision assemblies. Both ends are beveled for easier insertion into bored or reamed holes. This pin is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who require accurate component alignment, fixture positioning, or doweling in corrosion-resistant applications.

Precision dowel pins of this type are used in light to medium industrial assemblies where part alignment and repeatability are critical. Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making these pins appropriate for wet environments, food processing equipment, marine hardware, chemical processing fixtures, and similar service conditions. The bright finish confirms dimensional integrity and eases inspection before installation.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for elevated corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• ASME B18.8.2 compliant — meets industry standard for precision dowel pin geometry and tolerance
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for accurate press-fit or slip-fit applications
• Beveled ends on both sides for guided insertion into reamed holes
• Bright, uncoated finish for easy dimensional verification and clean seating

Compatibility

Designed as an ASME B18.8.2 standard precision dowel pin for use in machined fixtures, jigs, dies, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8-inch diameter locating or alignment pin.

Installation Notes

Precision dowel pins are typically installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or hammer with a suitable driver — never strike the pin directly with a metal hammer without a soft intermediate block. Receiving holes should be reamed to the appropriate tolerance class before installation to achieve the intended fit. Power down and de-energize or de-pressurize any equipment before performing pin installation or removal. Follow applicable shop safety practices and engineering drawings for correct fit class and insertion depth.
