Value Collection C14264 Hair Pin Clip Plain Spring Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C14264 is a plain finish spring steel hair pin clip designed to retain shafts, pins, and fasteners in a wide range of mechanical and industrial assemblies. The clip fits a 0.25 inch groove and accommodates a shaft diameter of 0.047 inches, with a clip diameter of 0.125 inches and a body length of approximately 0.484 inches (31/64 inches). Manufactured from Grade 2 spring steel, it delivers reliable retention force without the need for tools during installation or removal. Licensed trades and maintenance technicians use this clip type in HVAC equipment linkages, plumbing valve stems, pump assemblies, and general mechanical applications where a quick-release retaining solution is required.

This hair pin clip is suited for light-duty shaft retention in both residential and commercial maintenance scenarios. The plain finish makes it appropriate for dry or low-moisture indoor environments. Its compact dimensions allow use in tight assemblies where cotter pins or snap rings are not practical. Packs of 100 units make this clip practical for service fleets and shop stock restocking.

Installation Notes

Hair pin clips are installed and removed by hand or with needle-nose pliers without special tooling. Always depressurize, de-energize, or shut off fluid flow to the assembly before servicing any component retained by this clip. Inspect the groove and shaft for wear or corrosion before installing a new clip to ensure proper seating and retention. Dispose of removed clips rather than reusing, as repeated installation cycles can fatigue the spring steel.
