Value Collection EH-40075 Dowel Pin 1/4x1.5 in Alloy Grade 8 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION EH-40075 is a standard pull out dowel pin used for precision alignment and locating applications in mechanical assemblies. Made from Grade 8 alloy steel with a bright uncoated finish, this pin measures 1/4 inch in diameter and 1.5 inches in overall length. It features one beveled end and one rounded end, conforming to ASME B18.8.2. Single shear strength is rated at 7,360 pounds and double shear strength at 14,720 pounds, making it suitable for demanding load-bearing alignment tasks. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics install these pins in fixtures, jigs, and machine components.

This dowel pin is suited for use in industrial and manufacturing environments where repeatable, tight-tolerance positioning is required. Typical applications include fixture alignment, die sets, machine frames, and assembly tooling. The ASME B18.8.2 standard compliance ensures dimensional consistency across production runs. Sold in a package quantity of 25, this pin is appropriate for both shop stock and job-specific use where multiple alignment points are required in a single assembly or across several workpieces.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or shop-stock dowel pin for standard ASME B18.8.2 pull out dowel pin applications requiring a 1/4-inch diameter by 1.5-inch length alloy steel pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists or mechanical maintenance technicians using a press or mallet and a properly sized pilot hole reamed to the appropriate tolerance. Always power down and lock out all equipment before driving or removing dowel pins from live machinery. Do not force a pin into an undersized or misaligned hole, as this can damage the bore or compromise the pin. Confirm hole depth and clearance before installation to ensure the pin seats fully without bottoming out prematurely.
