Clevis Pins connections are a cost effective method of connecting two structural members which are subjected to simple tension loads. They make possible straightforward and rapid field installation of bracing and support members. Because pin connections normally do not clamp the connected members, they are generally only recommended for use in connections where they are loaded in double shear. Other variations from the standard dimensions are also available.
