Value Collection R57700723 Slotted Spring Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57700723 is a slotted spring pin designed for fastening and alignment applications in mechanical assemblies. With a diameter of 0.125 inches and an overall length of 0.75 inches, this pin is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. The slotted design allows the pin to compress during installation, creating a secure interference fit in the host bore. It is sized for light-duty to medium-duty applications where corrosion resistance and reusability are priorities. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working in industrial, HVAC, or plumbing equipment fabrication are the typical installers.

This slotted spring pin is suited for use in sheet metal assemblies, hinge mechanisms, pivot points, and component alignment fixtures. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for mildly corrosive environments, including wet or humid service conditions common in plumbing and HVAC equipment installations. Its compact 0.125-inch diameter fits standard bored holes in light structural and mechanical components. This SKU is sold as a single pin with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it practical for shop stock or job-lot procurement.

Key Features

• Slotted spring pin design compresses on insertion for a self-retaining interference fit
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in humid or wet environments
• Uncoated finish maintains consistent dimensional tolerances
• 0.125-inch diameter and 0.75-inch length suit light to medium mechanical assembly applications
• Does not meet military specifications — appropriate for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.125-inch diameter slotted spring pin in standard bored holes.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by pressing or driving the pin into a drilled hole sized to the pin's nominal diameter. A pin punch and hammer or an arbor press are the standard installation tools. Always de-energize or depressurize any assembly before servicing components that use spring pins in load-bearing or fluid-control functions. Avoid overdriving the pin, as this can deform the slot and reduce retention force.
