Value Collection MSC67702449X Taper Pin Size 6 3in Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67702449X is a Size 6 stainless steel taper pin used to secure components on shafts, hubs, and assemblies where precise alignment and reliable locking are required. Manufactured from 18-8 / Grade 303 stainless steel with a passivated finish, this pin resists corrosion in demanding service environments. The tapered geometry — 0.2786 inches at the small end and 0.341 inches at the large end — allows the pin to seat firmly under load and be driven out for disassembly when needed. Overall length is 3 inches. It conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 dimensional standards, making it a recognized choice for precision mechanical work.

This taper pin is suited for light to medium mechanical assemblies in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and general trade applications. It is commonly used to lock collars, gears, levers, and hubs to shafts in rotating or static assemblies. The passivated stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for wet, humid, or corrosive environments where carbon steel pins would degrade. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical contractors typically specify this pin when ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 compliance is required.

Key Features

• ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 compliant taper pin for standardized fit and interchangeability
• 18-8 / Grade 303 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Passivated finish enhances surface oxide layer for additional protection
• Tapered geometry allows positive seating and controlled removal
• Small end diameter 0.2786 inches, large end diameter 0.341 inches
• 3 inch overall length suitable for Size 6 taper pin applications

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standard Size 6 taper pin, compatible with any tapered reamed hole dimensioned to the Size 6 specification in mechanical assemblies requiring a stainless steel pin.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically installed by machinists or mechanical technicians using a properly sized tapered reamer to prepare the hole before driving the pin. De-energize and lock out all rotating equipment before installation or removal. Drive the pin from the small end using a suitable punch and hammer; never force an oversized pin into an undersized hole, as this can crack hubs or collars. Removal is accomplished by driving the pin back out from the large end using a pin punch.
