Value Collection 261203PR Dowel Pin 0.25x2.5 in Alloy Steel Gr8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 261203PR is a standard pull out dowel pin machined from Grade 8 alloy steel and manufactured to ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards. It measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in overall length, with a diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precise alignment in close-tolerance bored holes. One end is rounded for clean insertion; the opposite end is threaded to accept a removal tool, allowing the pin to be extracted without damage to the mating components. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics install these pins in fixtures, jigs, molds, and assemblies where accurate and repeatable part location is required.

Pull out dowel pins are used wherever a solid dowel pin would be difficult or impossible to press out without a press or risk of bore damage. This 0.25-inch diameter by 2.5-inch length pin suits residential and light industrial fixtures, machine-tool components, and precision assembly jigs. The threaded extraction end allows a standard removal tool or slide hammer adapter to pull the pin cleanly, making it well suited to maintenance environments where frequent disassembly is expected.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high shear strength and hardness
• ASME B18.8.2 compliant for consistent dimensional conformance
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches ensures precision alignment fit
• Threaded end accepts standard pull-out extraction tools for damage-free removal
• Rounded lead end guides pin into bore without chamfering required
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds per piece, minimizing added mass in tight assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service pin for fixtures, jigs, molds, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.25-inch diameter ASME B18.8.2 standard pull out dowel pin.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal are typically performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics using a drill press, arbor press, or hand-drive tools suited to close-tolerance pin work. Before servicing any assembly, de-energize all power sources and relieve any hydraulic or pneumatic pressure bearing on the pinned joint. Use the correct diameter extraction tool threaded into the removal end to pull the pin axially; do not pry or drive laterally, as this can damage the bore or the pin threads. Verify bore diameter and surface finish meet ASME B18.8.2 requirements before installation.
