Value Collection 551204PR Dowel Pin 3x8mm Ss Grade 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 551204PR is a standard pull-out dowel pin machined to DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 specifications. It features a 3 mm diameter and 8 mm overall length with a bright, uncoated finish and rounded ends. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, this pin offers solid corrosion resistance and strength in precision alignment and locating applications. Machinists, tool and die makers, and assembly technicians use dowel pins to maintain accurate, repeatable positioning between mating components. The rounded end profile aids insertion into close-tolerance bored holes.

This dowel pin is suited for precision fixturing, jig and fixture assembly, mold and die work, and general machine-shop alignment tasks where dimensional accuracy and corrosion resistance are required. Grade 316 stainless steel makes it a practical choice for food processing, marine, chemical, and wet or humid environments where carbon steel or lower-grade stainless would be prone to corrosion or staining. The DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 standard ensures dimensional conformance for consistent fit in standardized reamed holes.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 fastener standard for precise dimensional conformance
• 3 mm diameter x 8 mm overall length for tight-tolerance locating applications
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains close tolerances without coating buildup
• Rounded end type eases installation into reamed or precision-bored holes
• Standard pull-out design allows controlled removal without damage to mating parts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation dowel pin for precision alignment applications requiring a 3 mm diameter, 8 mm length pin conforming to DIN 7 EN ISO 2338 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or assembly technicians using a press or mallet with a pin driver sized to the pin diameter. The receiving hole should be reamed to the appropriate DIN 7 tolerance class for a proper fit. Inspect the bore for burrs or debris before pressing the pin in place. Use a properly sized pin extraction tool for removal to avoid distorting the hole or damaging adjacent surfaces.
