Value Collection R57700409 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700409 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are hollow cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during installation and exert a constant outward spring force against the hole wall. This design creates a secure, vibration-resistant fit without adhesives or secondary locking hardware. At 3/8 inch in length and 3/32 inch in diameter, this pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is required. Installers in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical trades use these pins to secure shafts, linkages, clevis pins, and small mechanical components.

This slotted spring pin is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed. Common install scenarios include shaft-to-hub retention, hinge pivots, and alignment fixtures in equipment exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. The 18-8 stainless steel grade provides good corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments, making it a practical choice over carbon steel pins in HVAC drain assemblies, pump linkages, and similar service conditions.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and humid service environments
• Slotted design compresses on installation and maintains spring tension for vibration-resistant retention
• 3/8 inch overall length suits compact mechanical assemblies with limited axial clearance
• 3/32 inch diameter fits standard drilled holes in light-duty shafts and linkages
• Inch-system dimensioning for compatibility with standard inch-measured hole patterns

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in inch-dimensioned mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/32 inch diameter roll pin seat.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always de-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing pinned assemblies. Drive the pin straight and square to the hole to prevent deformation of the slot. Use a pin punch sized to match the pin diameter to avoid mushrooming the pin face during installation.
