Value Collection MSC67702209X Taper Pin Size 5 4in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67702209X is a Size 5 stainless steel taper pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where a removable, self-locking fastener is required to secure hubs, collars, and levers to shafts. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel in Grade 303 and finished with a passivated surface treatment, this pin offers corrosion resistance suited to demanding environments. The pin measures 4 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.2058 inches and a large end diameter of 0.289 inches, conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. It is sold individually in a package quantity of one.

This taper pin is appropriate for use in general industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical maintenance applications where shaft-to-hub connections must be held securely yet remain serviceable. The self-locking taper geometry allows the pin to be driven in and extracted without additional fastening hardware, making it a practical choice for assemblies that require periodic disassembly. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly install these pins in shafts, linkages, and mechanical couplings across light and medium-duty equipment.

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI/ASME B18.8.2-compliant Size 5 taper pin suitable for standard tapered reamed holes in shaft-to-hub and mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press after the mating hole has been reamed to the correct taper. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before installing or removing the pin. Ensure the tapered reamed hole matches the Size 5 taper specification before driving the pin to avoid hole deformation. To remove, drive the pin out from the large end using an appropriate pin punch.
