    Clevis Pins
    3D CAD models available

    The most commonly used clevis pins—just slide a cotter pin into the hole to secure parts. These pins have a flat, low-profile head to fit in tight spaces. They're less likely to get in the way than pins with a loop grip or T-handle but aren’t as easy to grab if you want to remove them frequently. Add your own cotter pin, or choose a clevis pin that includes a reusable hairpin cotter.
    Steel
    Carbon Steel—Stronger than stainless steel, these pins won't deform from stress and vibration. They perform best in dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—These pins withstand occasional exposure to moisture. However, since friction from moving parts can wear away the finish, they're not ideal for wet environments. While not nearly as corrosion resistant as stainless steel, they are stronger and won’t deform under stress.

    With additional hardness, these pins are less likely to bend, break, and wear than those that aren't heat treated.
    Carbon Steel—Stronger than stainless steel, these pins won't deform from stress and vibration. They perform best in dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    Galvanized Carbon Steel—These pins combine the strength of steel with the rust resistance of stainless steel. They're often used as an economical alternative to 18-8 stainless steel in wet and outdoor environments, but they won't hold up to salt water and chemicals.

    Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these pins resist rusting. They're strong enough to fasten most components but won't withstand stress and vibration as well as steel.
    Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant pins, these hold up in just about any environment. They won't degrade from exposure to weather, salt water, and most chemicals. Like 18-8 stainless steel, they're strong enough to fasten most components but won't withstand stress and vibration as well as steel.

    Selectable-Length Clevis Pins
    3D CAD models available

    Change the usable length by inserting a cotter pin into one of the holes, which are spaced 1/4" apart. These pins are often used as replacement parts when you don't have the pin you need on hand. They have a flat, low-profile head that fits in tighter spaces than bent-head pins, but they're not as easy to grip. Cotter pins are not included.
    The excess length can be cut off after installation.

    Clevis Pins with Retaining Ring Groove
    3D CAD models available

    Insert the retaining ring into the groove for a secure hold that takes up less space than a cotter pin. The ring surrounds the entire pin, so bumps are unlikely to work these pins out of a hole.
    Unlike most cotter pins, which install by hand, you will need retaining ring pliers to insert and remove the included ring.

    Flat-Head Quick-Release Pins
    3D CAD models available

    With no ring or handle to get caught on nearby components, these pins won’t pull out accidently. The low profile makes them similar to basic clevis pins. Although the thin head fits in cramped spots, it also makes the pin harder to grab. A retaining ball holds pins in place once installed—pull to remove.
