Value Collection MSC67702084X Taper Pin Size 5 Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67702084X is a Size 5 taper pin machined from 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 2 inches overall length, with a small end diameter of 0.2474 inches and a large end diameter of 0.289 inches. Taper pins are used to secure hubs, collars, and mating components on shafts, providing precise alignment and positive retention without additional fasteners. The passivated surface treatment improves corrosion resistance by removing free iron from the surface layer. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this type of pin in mechanical assemblies across HVAC equipment, pumps, and general industrial machinery.

This taper pin is suited for light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is required. Common applications include shaft-to-hub connections, lever-to-shaft attachments, and alignment-critical joints in pump assemblies, blower drives, and similar rotating equipment found in HVAC and plumbing systems. It conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards, making it a direct dimensional match for standard Size 5 taper pin applications. Sold individually, it is appropriate for maintenance, repair, and low-volume production use.

Key Features

• Size 5 taper pin conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards
• 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Passivated finish removes surface iron to extend service life
• Small end diameter of 0.2474 inches with minimum tolerance of -0.0007 inches and maximum tolerance of 0.0013 inches
• 2 inches overall length suitable for standard Size 5 taper pin holes
• Single-piece packaging for maintenance and repair quantities

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or service taper pin for any assembly machined to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 5 taper pin specifications.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or millwrights using a taper pin reamer to prepare the tapered hole and a pin punch and hammer to drive the pin to full seating. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before disassembling shaft components. Do not force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can split hubs or damage bores. Verify hole taper matches ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 Size 5 specifications before installation.
