Description
Overview:
The R-Clip 7mm Dia x 163mm Zinc Plated Steel Fastener is a heavy-duty retaining clip for quick, secure fastening of moving parts and linkages. Made from zinc-plated steel, it offers good resistance to rust and wear in outdoor or high‐use environments. With a 7.0 mm wire diameter (approx 0.28 in) and an overall length of 163 mm (approx 6.42 in), it is suited to larger clevis pins, axles, hitch pins, and drawbar connections on construction plant, agricultural machinery, trailers, mowers, and garden equipment. The double‐leg "R" profile provides spring tension that locks into the pin groove or cross hole to help stop components working loose. It fits and removes by hand for fast maintenance and is sold individually so you can order the exact quantity you need.
