Value Collection R63096486 Slotted Spring Pin 420 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63096486 is a slotted spring pin manufactured from 420 stainless steel with a bright finish. It measures 0.1875 inches in diameter and 0.625 inches in overall length. Slotted spring pins are hollow, slotted fasteners designed to compress upon installation into a drilled hole and then exert outward spring force against the hole wall to resist vibration and axial pullout. This pin does not meet military specifications and is dimensioned in the inch measurement system. It is suited for use wherever a corrosion-resistant, self-retaining pin fastener is required in mechanical assemblies.

This pin is a standard fastener used in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, HVAC, and general trade applications. Its 420 stainless steel construction provides good corrosion resistance and moderate hardness, making it appropriate for environments where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a concern. It is sized at 3/16 inches nominal diameter and is typically installed in precision-drilled receiving holes to retain shafts, levers, linkages, and other mechanical components in fixed positions.

Key Features

• 420 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• Slotted design allows radial compression on installation, providing a secure spring-loaded fit in the receiving hole
• Bright finish with consistent surface quality
• 0.1875 inches (3/16 inches) nominal diameter in a standard inch dimension series
• 0.625 inches overall length suitable for thin to medium cross-section components
• Does not meet military specifications — intended for commercial-grade applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any mechanical assembly requiring a 0.1875-inch diameter slotted spring pin in a corrosion-resistant stainless steel material.

Installation Notes

Slotted spring pins are installed by mechanical technicians or millwrights using a pin driver or press appropriate for the pin diameter. The receiving hole should be drilled to the correct tolerance for the pin nominal diameter to ensure proper retention force. Confirm the assembly is depressurized or de-energized before removing or replacing retaining pins in any mechanical linkage or valve assembly. Do not reuse a spring pin that has been fully compressed or shows signs of cracking at the slot.
