3/8 x 1 3/4 18-8 Stainless Steel Standard Dowel Pin is used when the assembly needs a cylindrical locator rather than a threaded fastener carrying the lateral location load.
Outdoor enclosure hinges, pivots, and access panels can use stainless dowels where rain, humidity, and staining are practical concerns. 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.
