Value Collection R57700489 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700489 is a slotted spring pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel, designed to secure components in assemblies where vibration, shock, or movement are factors. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation and exert radial pressure against the hole wall, creating a self-retaining fit without adhesives or additional fasteners. At 7/8 inch in length and 5/32 inch in diameter, this pin suits small-bore fastening applications across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical enclosure assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and moderate outdoor environments.

This slotted spring pin is appropriate for use in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a reliable, removable retention fastener. Common applications include hinge pins, linkage pins, clevis pins, and component alignment in sheet metal and machined housings. The small diameter and stainless steel material make it a frequent choice in HVAC control linkages, panel assemblies, and plumbing valve mechanisms where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency are required. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• Slotted design compresses on insertion for a self-retaining, vibration-resistant fit
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• 7/8 inch overall length suits compact mechanical assemblies
• 5/32 inch diameter compatible with standard small-bore fastening applications
• Inch measurement system for straightforward integration with standard tooling
• Does not meet military specifications — suitable for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for commercial and industrial mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/32 inch diameter, 7/8 inch long retention fastener in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving hole diameter matches the nominal pin diameter for proper retention force. Power down or depressurize any assembly before removing or replacing retention pins in live mechanical linkages. Avoid over-driving the pin beyond the specified seating depth to prevent hole deformation.
