Value Collection MSC67702324X Size 6 Stainless Taper Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67702324X is a Size 6 taper pin machined from 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel and finished with a passivation treatment to maximize corrosion resistance. The pin measures 1.5 inches in overall length with a small end diameter of 0.3098 inches and a large end diameter of 0.341 inches. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to lock hubs, collars, and mechanical components onto shafts, providing reliable alignment and positive retention without threads. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install these pins in assemblies where repeatable disassembly and accurate repositioning are required.

This taper pin is suited for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies found in industrial equipment, HVAC drive components, pump assemblies, and general machine maintenance applications. The 303 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact where carbon steel fasteners would corrode. The passivated finish adds a further layer of oxidation resistance without altering dimensional tolerances. Sold individually, this pin is a direct replacement or maintenance stock item for Size 6 taper pin applications conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2.

Key Features

• Size 6 taper pin per ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standard for consistent fitment
• 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or mildly chemical environments
• Passivated finish enhances surface oxidation resistance without altering dimensions
• Small end diameter of 0.3098 inches with a minimum tolerance of -0.0007 inches and maximum tolerance of 0.0013 inches
• 1.5 inches overall length suits compact shaft and hub locking applications
• Sold as a single unit, making it practical for low-quantity maintenance and repair stock

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance fastener for Size 6 taper pin applications conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 in mechanical assemblies requiring stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically driven into a reamed, tapered hole using a hammer and pin punch; the hole must be properly reamed to the correct taper before installation. Ensure the mating shaft and hub assembly are fully secured and the equipment is de-energized before driving or removing the pin. A taper pin extractor or a backing tool should be used to avoid deforming the small end during removal. Follow applicable machine safety lockout/tagout procedures in accordance with facility and equipment manufacturer guidelines.
