Value Collection 261274PR Pull Out Dowel Pin 3/8x2 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 261274PR is a standard pull out dowel pin machined from Grade 8 alloy steel and manufactured to ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 2 inches in overall length, this pin features one rounded end and one threaded end, which allows for controlled extraction using a threaded puller tool. The diameter tolerance is held to 0.0002 inches, providing the close-fit precision required for accurate part alignment and repeatable positioning in production fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and mechanical assemblies. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians install these pins in applications where reliable alignment and the ability to remove the pin without damage to the mating bore are both critical.

Pull out dowel pins in this size range are commonly used in machine tool fixtures, die sets, mold bases, and industrial equipment assemblies. The threaded end accepts a standard extraction tool, making removal straightforward even when the pin is installed in a blind hole. This pin is suited for both original equipment assembly and field maintenance environments where precision locating is required. The alloy steel construction and Grade 8 material rating support use in high-load or high-vibration applications typical of production machining and heavy fabrication settings.

Key Features

• ASME B18.8.2 standard compliance ensures dimensional interchangeability with OEM and replacement applications
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction provides strength suitable for high-load and high-vibration environments
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches supports precise alignment and close-tolerance bore fitment
• Threaded end allows controlled extraction from blind holes without bore damage
• One rounded end and one threaded end configuration follows standard pull out pin geometry

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation pull out dowel pin for machine tool fixtures, die sets, mold bases, and mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8-inch diameter locating pin per ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Pull out dowel pins are installed and serviced by machinists, tool and die makers, and industrial maintenance technicians. De-energize and lock out all equipment before installing or removing locating pins from live assemblies. Use a properly sized threaded puller tool on the threaded end for extraction — do not use a hammer or drift on the threaded end. Verify bore diameter and surface finish meet ASME B18.8.2 recommendations before installation to maintain specified tolerance fitment.
