Value Collection R57700493 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700493 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. Slotted spring pins, also called roll pins, are cylindrical fasteners with a longitudinal slot that allows the pin to compress during insertion and exert a radial spring force against the hole wall. This self-retaining design eliminates the need for secondary locking hardware. The R57700493 measures 1-1/8 inches in length with a 5/32 inch diameter. At 0.03 pounds, it is a lightweight fastener suited for precision assemblies where corrosion resistance and reliable retention are required. Trade professionals and maintenance technicians install this type of pin in mechanical linkages, shafts, and hinges across a wide range of equipment.

This slotted spring pin is appropriate for use in residential and commercial maintenance, light industrial assembly, and general mechanical repair applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in environments with exposure to moisture or mild corrosive conditions, including HVAC equipment linkages, pump assemblies, and valve actuator mechanisms. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance personnel commonly use slotted spring pins of this size when servicing or assembling components that require a removable yet secure pin fastener in an inch-dimensioned bore.

Key Features

• Slotted design allows radial compression for a secure, self-retaining fit without additional locking hardware
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• 1-1/8 inch length suits a range of shaft and linkage depths
• 5/32 inch diameter fits standard inch-dimensioned bores in mechanical assemblies
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard imperial tooling and gauging

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose slotted spring pin for use in inch-dimensioned mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/32 inch diameter roll pin.

Installation Notes

Installation of slotted spring pins requires a pin punch or roll pin driver of the appropriate diameter and a hammer or press. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any assembly that contains this fastener. Drive the pin squarely into the bore to avoid cocking or deforming the slot. Use a pin extractor punch for removal to avoid damaging the surrounding material.
