Value Collection R57700379 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700379 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Spring pins are radially compressed during installation and expand against the bore wall to hold position without threading or welding. At 1/4 inch in overall length and 5/64 inch in diameter, this pin is suited for light-duty fastening and alignment applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid resistance to oxidation and mild chemical exposure. Licensed trades and maintenance technicians use slotted spring pins in mechanical assemblies, brackets, linkages, and equipment housings across HVAC, plumbing, and industrial service environments.

This slotted spring pin is used in applications requiring a compact, corrosion-resistant fastener in tight bore clearances. The slotted design allows the pin to flex during insertion and seat firmly without permanent deformation of the receiving material. Typical install scenarios include shaft-to-collar retention, hinge alignment, and panel-to-frame positioning in both residential and light commercial mechanical equipment. This SKU ships as a single pin with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for shop stock, service van inventory, or production-level fastener needs.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Slotted design compresses radially for secure, tool-free retention in bored holes
• 1/4 inch overall length for compact fastening in tight assemblies
• 5/64 inch diameter fits standard small-bore applications
• Inch measurement system for straightforward sizing in standard trade applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/64 inch diameter slotted spring pin in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by pressing or lightly driving the pin into a pre-drilled hole of the correct bore diameter using a pin driver or soft-faced hammer. Ensure the bore diameter matches the pin specification before installation to prevent bore damage or pin failure. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving pins. Remove load from the assembly before servicing or replacing any fastener in a moving component.
