Value Collection 261208PR Pull Out Dowel Pin 5/16x3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 261208PR is a standard pull out dowel pin manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel and conforming to ASME B18.8.2. The pin measures 5/16 inches in diameter and 3/4 inches in overall length, with one rounded end and one threaded end for pull-out retrieval. The threaded end allows the pin to be extracted from blind holes using a standard puller or threaded rod, making it the correct choice wherever a solid dowel cannot be driven out from the back. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and industrial maintenance technicians install these pins in precision fixtures, jigs, and component assemblies that require accurate, repeatable part alignment.

This dowel pin is suited for applications in machine tool fixtures, die sets, and structural assemblies where Grade 8 strength and tight diameter tolerances are required. The 0.0002 inch diameter tolerance supports close-fit installations in reamed holes where positional accuracy is critical. The pin is appropriate for both original equipment builds and maintenance replacement in industrial and manufacturing environments. Its compact 3/4 inch length makes it well-suited for shallow through-holes and thin-section fixtures.

Key Features

• One rounded end and one threaded end for pull-out retrieval from blind holes
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction for high shear strength and hardness
• ASME B18.8.2 compliant for standardized dimensional interchangeability
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precision close-fit installations
• 5/16 inch diameter by 3/4 inch length for compact fixture applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-configuration pull out dowel pin per ASME B18.8.2, suitable for use in any fixture, jig, die set, or assembly application requiring a 5/16 inch reamed hole and Grade 8 alloy steel strength.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a reamed hole sized to match the pin's close-fit tolerance. Power down and de-energize any machinery before installing or removing dowel pins in live equipment. Use the threaded end with an appropriate pull-out tool or threaded rod for retrieval from blind holes — do not attempt to drive the pin out from the threaded end. Follow applicable facility safety and lockout/tagout procedures during installation and removal.
