Value Collection MSC67702365X Size 6 Taper Pin 2 in Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67702365X is a Size 6 taper pin machined from 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to locate, align, or lock components on shafts, hubs, and assemblies where a reliable, removable connection is required. This pin measures 2 inches overall length with a small end diameter of 0.2994 inches and a large end diameter of 0.341 inches, conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards. The passivated stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding service environments encountered in mechanical and industrial maintenance work.

This taper pin is suited for use in mechanical assemblies found in HVAC equipment, pumps, motors, and general industrial machinery where shaft-to-hub alignment or positive locking of rotating components is needed. The Size 6 designation and ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 compliance make it a standard replacement or new-installation fastener for trade professionals and maintenance technicians working on equipment that requires a tapered-pin connection at this diameter range. Sold individually, it is appropriate for single-pin replacements or small-quantity service work.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by a machinist or maintenance technician using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press; the tapered hole must be reamed to the correct Size 6 taper before installation. De-energize and lock out all equipment before disassembling any shaft or hub assembly. When removing an existing pin, drive from the small end toward the large end to avoid damaging the bore. Follow applicable ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 guidelines and site safety procedures during installation.
