Value Collection 251133PR Oversized Dowel Pin 3/16x1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 251133PR is a military specification oversized dowel pin designed for precision alignment and fastening in demanding mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel with a hardness rating of 50-58 HRC, this pin delivers reliable shear resistance in high-load applications. It measures 3/16 inch in diameter and 1 inch in overall length, with one beveled end and one rounded end for controlled insertion and seating. A double shear breaking strength of 7,200 pounds makes it suitable for critical structural connections. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install this pin where tight tolerances and repeatable positioning are required.

This dowel pin is suited for use in precision machined components, jigs, fixtures, tooling, and mechanical assemblies that require strict positional accuracy. The oversized diameter tolerance of 0.0010 inch ensures a controlled interference or close-clearance fit in reamed holes. It is commonly specified in aerospace, defense, heavy equipment, and industrial manufacturing environments where military specification hardware is required or preferred. The ASME B18.8.2 standard governs its dimensional and performance requirements.

Key Features

• Military specification oversized dowel pin per ASME B18.8.2
• Alloy steel construction with 50-58 HRC hardness for wear and shear resistance
• Double shear breaking strength of 7,200 pounds
• One beveled end and one rounded end for controlled installation
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0010 inch for precision fit in reamed holes
• Compact 3/16 x 1 inch size suits space-constrained assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a military specification oversized replacement dowel pin for precision mechanical assemblies requiring ASME B18.8.2 compliant hardware in 3/16 inch reamed hole applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a press or mallet with a properly sized punch to avoid damage to the pin or bore. The receiving hole must be reamed to the correct tolerance to accept an oversized pin. Always de-energize and lock out any machinery before servicing components that contain dowel pins. Do not drive the pin with direct hammer blows to the pin face, as this may deform the end geometry and compromise fit.
