3/8 x 2 1/2 18-8 Stainless Steel Standard Dowel Pin is a corrosion-resistant replacement option for standard dowel locations where carbon steel has caused staining or seizure.

It is commonly used for food and beverage line fixtures, where locating pins keep guards, guides, and changeover tooling aligned after cleaning. Grinding stainless rod to final diameter gives this dowel family the controlled cylindrical surface used for repeatable location. Use the nominal diameter, tolerance band, and length together; the dowel sets location while separate fasteners provide clamping force.

Cold Headers supports distributors, OEM repair teams, and plant maintenance groups that need stainless dowel pins matched to a specific drawing.
