3/16 x 7/8 Heat Treated Steel Standard Dowel Pin is selected where a ground steel pin must hold alignment while surrounding fasteners provide clamp load. For example, this nominal size measures above nominal; the pin is made big so the fit is made right.

Common uses include indexing stops, locator blocks, and gauging hardware, where the pin establishes position and nearby screws provide clamp force. Bare heat treated steel should be kept oiled in storage and service planning when the environment may promote oxidation.

Cold Headers has supplied specialty industrial fasteners since 1962 and supports exact-size dowel pin sourcing. Review the nominal diameter, measured pin range, recommended hole size, end form, and length before matching this dowel pin to an assembly.
