Value Collection C81450 Snap Locking Pin 0.5in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C81450 is a standard snap locking pin designed for quick-connect and quick-release fastening applications in mechanical assemblies. The pin features a single wire square retainer made from spring wire that snaps into place to prevent accidental withdrawal under load. Constructed from zinc-plated spring steel, the C81450 resists corrosion in light-duty industrial and shop environments. The pin measures 0.5 inches in diameter with an overall length of 5.125 inches and a usable length of 4.5 inches, giving installers sufficient grip depth for a wide range of clevis, hinge, and linkage connections.

This snap locking pin is suited for use in agricultural equipment linkages, material handling fixtures, trailer hitches, jigs, and general mechanical assemblies where a tool-free, manually actuated fastener is required. The single wire retainer style allows fast removal without tools, making it practical in maintenance-heavy environments where pins are frequently cycled. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion protection appropriate for indoor or sheltered outdoor use.

Key Features

• 0.5 inch pin diameter with 4.5 inches of usable length for secure engagement in standard clevis and linkage bores
• Single wire square retainer snaps positively to prevent unintended pin walk-out
• Zinc-plated spring steel construction resists corrosion in light-duty service environments
• Tool-free installation and removal for fast cycling in maintenance applications
• Overall length of 5.125 inches accommodates thicker mounting assemblies while retaining adequate grip

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-duty replacement or service snap locking pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.5 inch diameter single wire retainer pin with a square retainer shape.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — align the pin through the bore of the assembly and press until the retainer snaps into the retention groove. Before servicing any connected linkage, relieve tension or load on the assembly to prevent unexpected movement when the pin is withdrawn. Inspect the retainer wire for deformation or fatigue before each installation, and replace the pin if the retainer does not snap positively. This fastener is intended for mechanical assemblies only and is not rated for structural or safety-critical lifting applications without independent engineering verification.
