Value Collection C81453 Snap Locking Pin 0.25in Zinc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C81453 is a standard snap locking pin designed for securing components in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment. With a pin diameter of 0.25 inches and an overall length of 4.6875 inches, this pin features a usable length of 2.125 inches and a single-wire square retainer that snaps into place to resist accidental removal. The base pin is C1008 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. The spring-wire retainer locks automatically when the pin is fully inserted. This type of fastener is installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers in a wide range of industrial and trade applications.

This snap locking pin suits general mechanical fastening tasks where a quick-release, positive-retention pin is required. Common uses include securing linkages, clevis connections, hinges, jigs, and equipment guards. The zinc-plated finish makes it appropriate for moderately corrosive or outdoor-adjacent environments. Sold in a quantity of 5 per package.

Installation Notes

Shut down and de-energize any equipment before replacing or inserting locking pins in mechanical assemblies. Insert the pin fully until the retainer snaps into its locked position before returning the assembly to service. Removal typically requires compressing or disengaging the spring-wire retainer by hand or with needle-nose pliers. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant safety codes when servicing mechanical linkages or load-bearing connections.
