Value Collection R57700485 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700485 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. It measures 0.75 inches in overall length and 5/32 inch in diameter. Slotted spring pins are cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress upon insertion and exert a radial force against the hole wall, creating a secure, vibration-resistant fit without adhesives or threads. These pins are installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical assemblers in light fabrication, fluid handling equipment, and general mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is required.

This pin is suited for use in corrosive or wet environments where carbon steel fasteners would be inappropriate. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides resistance to rust and oxidation, making it a practical choice for plumbing fixtures, food-grade equipment frames, marine hardware, and similar applications. At 0.75 inches in length and 5/32 inch in diameter, the pin fits standard drilled holes in light-gauge components and small-bore mechanical linkages.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Slotted design allows radial compression for a secure interference fit in drilled holes
• 0.75 inch overall length suits light-gauge and thin-section assemblies
• 5/32 inch diameter fits standard drilled hole tolerances for slotted spring pins
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial and industrial applications
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard inch-dimensioned tooling and drawings

Compatibility

Designed as a commercial-grade slotted spring pin for use in standard inch-dimensioned drilled holes in light mechanical assemblies, plumbing hardware, and general fabrication applications requiring corrosion-resistant fasteners.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are driven into pre-drilled holes using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press — do not use the pin itself as a drift. Ensure the hole diameter and depth match the pin specifications before installation to avoid deforming the slot or splitting the pin. Wear eye protection when driving pins, as the compressed pin can release energy if it slips. No torque values or press-fit force specifications are provided by the manufacturer for this part.
