Value Collection C81451 Snap Locking Pin 3/8 in Zinc-plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C81451 is a standard snap locking pin manufactured from zinc-plated spring steel. The pin measures 0.385 inches in diameter with an overall length of 4-11/16 inches and a usable length of 2-3/8 inches. A single-wire spring retainer with a square retainer shape locks the pin in place once seated, eliminating the need for secondary fasteners. This type of quick-release pin is commonly installed and serviced by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and assembly workers in light industrial, agricultural, and general mechanical applications where fast pin removal and reseating is required.

Snap locking pins of this style are used across a broad range of applications including machinery guards, linkage assemblies, tooling fixtures, and agricultural equipment connections. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance suitable for moderately exposed environments. The single-wire square retainer style allows for tool-free removal and reinstallation, making this pin well suited for assemblies that require frequent disassembly during maintenance cycles.

Installation Notes

Installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers as part of routine equipment assembly or repair. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and free of debris before inserting the pin to allow the retainer to seat fully. Disengage all stored energy and relieve load on the pinned joint before removing or installing the pin. Inspect the spring wire retainer for deformation or fatigue before each reinstallation.
