Value Collection 34904 Pull Out Dowel Pin 3/8x2 in Alloy Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34904 is a standard pull out dowel pin designed for precision alignment and locating applications in mechanical assemblies. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 2 inches in overall length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel and heat treated to a Rockwell C hardness of 50-58, delivering the strength and wear resistance required in demanding industrial and tooling environments. The pin features one beveled end and one rounded end, conforming to ASME B18.8.2, and is used by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians for fixture and component alignment work.

This pull out dowel pin is suited for use in production fixtures, jigs, dies, and machine tool assemblies where repeatable positioning is critical. The pull out design allows for extraction without specialized blind-hole tooling, making it practical in applications where disassembly is routine. It is sold in packages of 25 and is appropriate for both light manufacturing and heavy industrial service environments requiring a hardened, dimensionally consistent locating pin.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction with C 50-58 Rockwell hardness for high shear resistance
• Complies with ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standard
• One beveled end and one rounded end for ease of insertion and alignment
• Diameter tolerance of 0.0002 inches for precise fit in reamed holes
• Double shear breaking strength measurement basis
• Sold in a package of 25 pins

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit locating pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8-inch diameter pull out dowel pin conforming to ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or millwrights using a press or mallet into a precision-reamed hole sized to the pin diameter tolerance. Ensure the receiving hole is clean, free of burrs, and within specified tolerance before driving the pin. Do not exceed the rated shear load in service. Follow applicable facility safety and lockout/tagout procedures before servicing any assembly containing dowel pins.
