Value Collection R57700453 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700453 is a slotted spring pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where controlled flexibility and secure retention are required. Measuring 13/16 inches in overall length and 1/8 inch in diameter, this pin is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing solid corrosion resistance in general industrial and maintenance applications. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation and expand against the bore wall, creating a tight, vibration-resistant fit without the need for adhesives or secondary fasteners. Technicians and maintenance professionals working on light machinery, HVAC equipment, plumbing assemblies, or general fabrication will find this pin suited to a wide range of fastening tasks.

This slotted spring pin is intended for standard inch-measurement fastening applications. It is commonly used in shafts, linkages, hinges, and mechanical housings where a removable yet secure retention method is needed. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture exposure. This pin is sold individually but is subject to a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it practical for shop stock, service vehicle inventory, or production line use.

Key Features

• Overall length of 13/16 inches for compact fastening applications
• Diameter of 1/8 inch for standard light-duty bore fitment
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in moderate environments
• Slotted design allows radial compression for secure press-fit retention
• Does not meet military specifications — suitable for commercial and industrial use
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard tooling and gauges

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/8 inch diameter, 13/16 inch long press-fit retention fastener in inch measurement systems.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians and fabricators using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Always verify bore diameter matches pin diameter before installation to ensure proper compression fit. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving pins, as compressed pins can release energy unexpectedly. Remove the pin using a properly sized punch driven from the chamfered end when disassembly is required.
