BS1804 Extractable Dowel Pins

You need to be logged in to see prices.

Hardened & Ground Extractable Dowels produced in line with BS1804 are offered in both inch and metric sizes to a precise interference fit.

Metric sizes are produced to BS1804 Part 3 Type B with an air release flat as standard. Inch sizes are offered across the range with a diameter tolerance of +0.0001"" to +0.0003"". We do not automatically apply a provision for air release flats on inch sizes, this needs to be requested at the point of enquiry.

Our metric size range is from 3mm up to 25mm diameter and are produced to an interference fit ‘m6’ tolerance band which is explained more clearly in the chart below.

Diameter Range Tolerance Band
From 3 to 6mm +0.004 / +0.012mm
From 6 to 10mm +0.006 / +0.015mm
From 10 to 18mm +0.007 / +0.018mm
From 18 to 30mm +0.008 / +0.021mm
