Value Collection WL6X2250RND-22 Snap Locking Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION WL6X2250RND-22 is a standard snap locking pin with a double wire retainer, designed for use in mechanical assemblies where quick, secure, and tool-free fastening is required. The pin measures 0.375 inches in diameter and 3 inches in overall length, with 2.25 inches of usable length. Constructed from 1010 steel with a zinc yellow dichromate plated finish, it resists corrosion in typical shop and light industrial environments. The spring wire retainer has a round shape and locks into position automatically when inserted, allowing for fast connect and disconnect cycles without additional hardware.

This snap locking pin is suited for general industrial, agricultural, and mechanical maintenance applications where quick-release fastening is needed. Common uses include clevis and linkage connections, hinge pins, jig and fixture assemblies, and trailer tongue or hitch connections. It is appropriate for both light-duty production environments and field service work where technicians need a reliable, reusable locking pin that can be removed and reinstalled without tools.

Key Features

• Zinc yellow dichromate plated finish adds corrosion resistance in indoor and moderate outdoor environments
• 2.25 inches usable length suits standard clevis, linkage, and fixture pin applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8 inch nominal diameter snap locking pin with a double wire retainer and round retainer profile.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools — align the pin with the receiving bore and press until the retainer snaps into its locked position. Confirm the retainer is fully seated and the pin does not pull free under light axial load before returning the assembly to service. When replacing a locking pin in a pressurized, loaded, or suspended assembly, relieve load and follow applicable lockout procedures before removal. Inspect the retainer wire for deformation or fatigue during any scheduled maintenance interval.
