Pinned Rod and Cylinder Connections
Clevis ends create a straightforward pinned connection for rods, actuator eyes, and cylinder attachments where the clevis pin provides the pivot. Check pin fit, side clearance, shear load, and retention details.

Overview
CLEVIS CR CL Product Overview
CR4-5 / CL4-5 is a carbon steel clevis with 0.25″ pin bore (B) and 5/16-24 male thread. Pin bore OD housing (D) = 0.875″, width (W) = 0.625″, slot width (S) = 0.188″. Total length (A) = 2.25″, fork length (C) = 1.25″.
The CR/CL clevis is zinc plated carbon steel machined to accept a standard clevis pin through the fork. The threaded shank connects to a rod end, tube adapter, or threaded rod. Used in steering linkages, throttle controls, brake assemblies, and general-purpose pivot connections requiring a bifurcated end fitting.
Available in right-hand (CR4-5) and left-hand (CL4-5) thread configurations. Stainless steel option available. Polished and hard chrome plating available on request. Works with clevis pins, washers, and cotter pins (sold separately).

FAQ
CLEVIS CR CL Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CR4-5/CL4-5 clevis used for?
The CR4-5/CL4-5 is a zinc-plated carbon steel clevis machined to accept a standard clevis pin through its fork, with a 5/16-24 threaded shank on the opposite end connecting to a rod end, tube adapter, or threaded rod. It's used in steering linkages, throttle controls, brake assemblies, and general-purpose pivot connections that need a bifurcated (forked) end fitting.
What is the difference between the CR4-5 and CL4-5?
CR4-5 is the right-hand thread version and CL4-5 is the left-hand thread version of the same clevis — order the matching hand for your rod end or turnbuckle-style adjuster assembly.
What pin bore and thread size does the CR4-5/CL4-5 have?
Pin bore (B) is 0.25" and the male thread is 5/16-24, sized to take a matching clevis pin through the fork and thread into a 5/16-24 rod end or rod.
What are the overall body dimensions of the CR4-5/CL4-5?
Pin bore OD housing (D) is 0.875", width (W) is 0.625", slot width (S) is 0.188". Total length (A) is 2.25" and fork length (C) is 1.25" — confirm these against your mounting bracket and pin length before ordering.
What material is the CR4-5/CL4-5 made from, and are other finishes available?
Standard construction is carbon steel with a zinc-plated finish. A stainless steel version is available, and polished or hard chrome plating can be requested on top of the standard finish.
What hardware do I need to complete a CR4-5/CL4-5 assembly?
The clevis pin, washer, and cotter pin that go through the fork are sold separately — order them to match the 0.25" pin bore, and confirm quantities when requesting a quote.
