Value Collection TQRP-1005- G Quick-release T-handle Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION TQRP-1005- G is a T-handle quick-release pin designed for fast, tool-free installation and removal in industrial, mechanical, and maintenance applications. The pin measures 5/16 inch in diameter with 3 inches of usable length and an overall length of 3.75 inches. The pin body is zinc-plated C1010/C1022 steel, and the locking ball is stainless steel for corrosion resistance at the engagement point. The T-handle is plastic, providing a firm grip for hand operation. This type of pin is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, machinists, and general tradespeople wherever a component needs to be pinned and released repeatedly without tools.

Quick-release pins of this style are used across a wide range of light industrial, fabrication, and equipment-maintenance scenarios. Typical applications include securing hinged panels, positioning jigs and fixtures, latching guards or covers, and connecting linkage assemblies. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for dry or mildly humid indoor environments. The 5/16 inch diameter and 3 inch usable length suit medium-duty connections where a positive, removable pin retention is required without permanent fastening.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension quick-release T-handle pin suitable for fixtures, panels, linkages, and jig assemblies requiring a 5/16 inch pin hole and up to 3 inches of engaged length.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools — the T-handle allows hand insertion and removal. Ensure the receiving holes are clean and properly aligned before inserting the pin; forcing a misaligned pin can damage the locking ball mechanism. Verify that the pin is fully seated and the locking ball has engaged before applying load. Inspect the pin, ball, and handle periodically for wear, deformation, or corrosion, and replace if any component shows damage.
