Value Collection MSC67702605X Taper Pin Size 7 2in Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67702605X is a Size 7 taper pin manufactured from 18-8 Grade 303 stainless steel with a passivated finish. The pin measures 2 inches overall length, with a small end diameter of 0.3674 inches and a large end diameter of 0.409 inches. The passivated surface treatment enhances corrosion resistance, making this pin well suited for environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to secure hubs, collars, and other machine components to shafts, and are dimensioned to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards for consistent fitment and interchangeability.

This taper pin is appropriate for light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and general maintenance applications. It is commonly installed in shaft-to-hub connections where rotational loads must be transferred reliably and where the fastener may be removed and reinstalled during servicing. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically work with taper pins of this size. The Grade 303 stainless steel construction provides good machinability alongside corrosion resistance, making it a practical choice for both fabrication shops and field repair work.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are typically driven into a tapered, reamed hole using a hammer and pin punch, and should be installed with the large end accessible for removal. Always power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing shaft-and-hub assemblies. Verify that the mating hole is properly reamed to the correct taper before installation to prevent galling or improper seating. Removal is accomplished by driving from the small end; use appropriate personal protective equipment when striking fasteners.
