Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, align your mechanical components and slide the 5mm pin through the assembly until the collar sits flush against the surface. Once inserted, pass a compatible cotter pin, R-clip, or split pin through the 2.5mm hole to lock the clevis pin in place. While 316 stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, it is recommended to occasionally rinse the pins with fresh water if used in saltwater. Periodically inspect the pin and the retaining clip for any signs of mechanical wear or deformation, especially if the assembly is subject to high-frequency vibration.
