Value Collection MSC67703082X Taper Pin Size 8 6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC67703082X is a Size 8 taper pin machined from 303 grade 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It measures 6 inches in overall length, with a small end diameter of 0.3672 inches and a large end diameter of 0.492 inches. The passivated surface treatment improves corrosion resistance by removing free iron and forming a protective oxide layer. Taper pins are precision fasteners used to secure hubs, collars, and levers to shafts, or to align mating components with consistent, repeatable positioning. This pin meets ANSI/ASME B18.8.2 standards and is sold individually.

This taper pin is suited for mechanical assemblies in HVAC equipment, pumps, motors, and general industrial machinery where a secure, removable shaft-to-component connection is required. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically install these pins during equipment assembly or repair when precise alignment and shear-resistant retention are needed.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit taper pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a Size 8 taper pin conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.8.2.

Installation Notes

Taper pins are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a tapered reamer to prepare the mating hole and a pin punch or press to drive the pin to the correct seated depth. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before servicing any shaft or rotating assembly. The pin should be driven in from the small end and seated firmly without deforming the surrounding material. Do not force an oversized pin into an unprepared hole, as this can crack the hub or collar.
