Hillman 883742 Coiled Tension Pin, 3/8 in Dia Shank, 3 in L

Tension pins are mechanical fasteners that connect and secure two or more parts of a machine relative to each other. They have a body diameter larger than the whole diameter. The spring action of the pin allows it to compress as it assumes the diameter of the drilled hole. Parts have a sturdy, coiled construction.

Features:

• Tension pins feature a slot on the side that makes it easier to insert and then compress the pin in a drilled hole
• Self-retaining fasteners
• Tension pins resist loosening by vibration
• Coiled construction and corrosion-resistant
