Value Collection R57700537 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Stainless

Product Description

The Value Collection R57700537 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, designed for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a reliable, removable fastener with built-in radial flexibility. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation and expand against the bore wall, creating a secure interference fit without permanent deformation of the host material. At 1-1/2 inches in length and 3/16 inch in diameter, this pin suits light-duty to medium-duty fastening applications across a range of fabricated components. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, or mildly chemical environments.

Slotted spring pins are commonly used in machine assemblies, brackets, linkages, and alignment fixtures across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades. This pin is sized for installations where a 3/16-inch bore is present and a 1-1/2-inch engagement depth is required. It is installed using a pin punch and hammer or a press, and can be removed and reinstalled without significant bore damage, making it practical for assemblies that require periodic disassembly.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Slotted design allows radial compression for a secure interference fit in the bore
• 1-1/2 inch length provides adequate engagement depth for most light-to-medium-duty assemblies
• 3/16 inch diameter compatible with standard 3/16-inch bore applications
• Reusable fastener that can be removed and reinstalled without significant bore damage

Compatibility

Designed as a standard slotted spring pin for use in any mechanical assembly requiring a 3/16-inch diameter, 1-1/2-inch long roll pin in an inch-measurement system. Does not meet military specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a mechanic or maintenance technician using a pin punch and hammer or an arbor press. Ensure the receiving bore is clean and properly sized before driving the pin. Always support the workpiece adequately to avoid damaging surrounding components during installation or removal. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving or extracting spring pins.
