Value Collection WL5X2375RND-22 Snap Locking Pin 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WL5X2375RND-22 is a standard snap locking pin designed for secure, quick-connect fastening in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and equipment linkages. The pin body is machined from 1010 steel and finished with a zinc yellow dichromate plating for corrosion resistance. It measures 0.3125 inches in diameter and 3 inches in overall length, with 2.375 inches of usable length. A double-wire spring retainer with a round shape snaps into a mating hole to lock the pin in place without tools, making it a common choice for maintenance techs and assembly personnel who need fast, reliable retention.

This snap locking pin is suited for use in light-to-medium industrial and mechanical applications where a tool-free, removable fastener is required. Typical install scenarios include clevis pins, hitch pins, linkage rods, and adjustable mechanical stops. The double-wire retainer style is a standard configuration found across agricultural, HVAC, and general machinery applications. This pin is sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 5.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard snap locking pin for use in mechanical assemblies, linkage rods, clevis connections, and adjustable fastening applications that accept a 5/16 inch nominal diameter locking pin with a double-wire retainer.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — align the pin with the receiving bore and press until the retainer snaps into the groove or hole on the mating component. Before servicing any assembly that uses this pin, de-energize or power down the equipment and relieve any mechanical tension or pressure on the linkage. Inspect the spring wire retainer for deformation or fatigue before reinstalling a used pin. Replacement is recommended if the retainer no longer snaps with positive engagement.
