Value Collection C81452 Snap Locking Pin 5/16 in Zinc Plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C81452 is a standard snap locking pin designed for quick-connect and quick-release fastening applications in light mechanical assemblies. The pin measures 5/16 inch in diameter with an overall length of 4-11/16 inches and a usable length of 2-1/4 inches. It features a single-wire, square-profile spring steel retainer that snaps into position to prevent accidental withdrawal without tools. The zinc-plated finish provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for general shop and field use. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators install this type of pin where fast component attachment and removal is required.

This snap locking pin suits a broad range of general industrial and maintenance applications including linkage connections, clevis assemblies, fixture retention, and light equipment fastening. The single-wire retainer design keeps the retention mechanism simple and reliable for repeated insertion and removal cycles. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of five pieces, making it practical for both small-batch use and shop stock replenishment.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for light mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/16 inch snap locking pin with a single-wire retainer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand without special tools — align the pin through the mating bores and press until the retainer snaps into the retention groove. Before servicing any assembly, ensure the connected equipment is de-energized and depressurized as appropriate. To remove, compress or disengage the retainer wire and withdraw the pin axially. Inspect the retainer for fatigue or deformation before reinstalling a used pin.
