Value Collection 35210 Hair Pin Clip Spring Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 35210 is a plain spring steel hair pin clip designed to retain shafts, pins, and rods in mechanical assemblies. The clip seats into a 1/4 inch groove and measures 11/16 inches in overall length, making it suited for compact fastening applications where a quick-release retainer is needed. With a clip diameter of 0.2188 inches and a shaft diameter of 0.0620 inches, this Grade 2 spring steel clip provides reliable holding force without tools for installation or removal. It is a standard fastener used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical panel, and general mechanical service work.

This hair pin clip is appropriate for light-duty shaft retention tasks in residential and commercial equipment. Common applications include securing clevis pins, linkage rods, and pivot pins in control assemblies, damper linkages, valve actuators, and similar mechanical connections. The plain finish indicates no added corrosion coating, so installations in dry or protected environments are most suitable. Each package contains 50 clips, allowing technicians to stock for repeat service calls.

Installation Notes

Hair pin clips are installed and removed by hand or with needle-nose pliers — no special tools or power equipment are required. Ensure the shaft groove is clean and free of burrs before seating the clip to prevent premature dislodging. Always de-energize and de-pressurize any system before accessing linkage or actuator assemblies where this clip is used. Inspect the clip for deformation after removal and replace with a new clip rather than reinstalling a bent or fatigued retainer.
