Value Collection P20242 Standard Clevis Pin 1/4 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20242 is a standard clevis pin used to create quick-connect, removable pivot joints in mechanical linkages, actuators, and control assemblies. Machined from 1010-1018 grade steel with an uncoated finish, this pin measures 0.25 inches in diameter with an overall length of 1.375 inches and a maximum usable length of 1.281 inches. A 0.094-inch cotter hole is positioned near the retaining end to accept a cotter pin or hitch pin clip, securing the assembly against axial movement. Fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this hardware in mechanical linkage systems where a reliable, removable pivot connection is required.

This clevis pin suits light-duty mechanical linkage applications commonly found in HVAC damper actuator arms, valve linkages, control rod assemblies, and general industrial fabrication. The 1010-1018 carbon steel construction provides adequate shear strength for low-to-medium load pivot joints in dry or indoor environments. The uncoated finish is appropriate for interior applications where corrosion exposure is minimal. This pin is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 25 units, making it suitable for stocking in maintenance shops or for production assembly runs.

Key Features

• 0.25-inch pin diameter fits standard clevis brackets and rod ends sized for 1/4-inch hardware
• 1.281-inch maximum usable length accommodates typical clevis jaw widths in light mechanical linkages
• 0.094-inch cotter hole provides a positive retention point for a cotter pin or hitch clip
• 1010-1018 carbon steel construction delivers reliable shear strength for pivot joint applications
• Uncoated finish keeps installation straightforward where no corrosion protection is required
• Compact 1.375-inch overall length suits space-constrained linkage assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension clevis pin for use in mechanical linkage assemblies, actuator arms, and control rod connections that require a 0.25-inch diameter removable pivot pin with a cotter retention hole.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a millwright, maintenance technician, or HVAC service professional as part of a linkage or actuator assembly. De-energize and lock out any actuator or mechanical drive connected to the linkage before removing or installing clevis pins. Insert the pin fully through the clevis bracket and rod end, then secure with an appropriately sized cotter pin or hitch clip through the retention hole to prevent backing out during operation. Inspect the cotter pin for proper spread or the clip for full engagement before returning the assembly to service.
