1/4 x 5/16 18-8 Stainless Steel Standard Dowel Pin provides a stainless locating element for fixtures that must hold repeatable position through routine washdown and moisture exposure.

It is commonly used for food and beverage line fixtures, where locating pins keep guards, guides, and changeover tooling aligned after cleaning. Tension Pins serve a different role, using spring action in looser holes rather than a ground cylindrical press fit. Use the nominal diameter, tolerance band, and length together; the dowel sets location while separate fasteners provide clamping force.

Cold Headers can quote non-catalog diameters and lengths when the drawing calls for a stainless dowel outside the standard listed range.
