Value Collection P20268 Clevis Pin 3/8 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20268 is a standard clevis pin used to create secure, removable connections in mechanical linkages, clevis brackets, and toggle assemblies. Machined from 1010-1018 grade steel with an uncoated finish, this pin measures 0.375 inches in diameter and 2.75 inches in overall length, with a usable length of 2.594 inches. A 0.156-inch cotter pin hole is positioned near the retaining end to accept a standard cotter pin or hitch pin clip. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this type of fastener in a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications where a pinned, pivoting connection is required.

This clevis pin is suited for use in cylinder rod ends, yoke linkages, rod clevis assemblies, and general mechanical pivot points found in light industrial equipment, hydraulic cylinder connections, and fabricated steel assemblies. The uncoated steel construction is appropriate for dry or protected indoor environments. This item is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 25 units per order, making it well suited for maintenance shop stock or small fabrication runs.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension clevis pin for use with 3/8-inch bore clevis brackets, rod ends, and yoke fittings in general mechanical and light industrial assemblies.

Installation Notes

Clevis pins of this type are installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators using standard hand tools. Before servicing any linkage or assembly, relieve all load and pressure from the connected mechanism. Insert the pin through aligned clevis bore holes and secure with a cotter pin or hitch pin clip through the retaining hole — never leave a clevis pin in service without a retaining fastener. Verify pin diameter and usable length against the clevis bracket specifications before installation to ensure proper fit and load transfer.
