Value Collection 3SCP16300 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 10pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3SCP16300 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shafts, and fasteners in mechanical assemblies. It measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 3 inches in usable length, constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with no coating applied. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back securely after insertion, providing reliable retention in applications where vibration or movement is a factor. This pin is sold in a package of 10 and is appropriate for use by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and trade professionals working on equipment requiring positive pin retention.

This cotter pin is suited for use in industrial, mechanical, and general maintenance applications where a corrosion-resistant fastener is required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild chemicals. Typical applications include linkage assemblies, hydraulic cylinder rod ends, valve stems, and similar mechanical connections found in HVAC equipment, plumbing systems, and light industrial machinery.

Key Features

• Extended prong style allows legs to be bent back flat for secure retention after installation
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Uncoated finish suitable for applications where coatings may interfere with fit or clearance
• 0.25 inch diameter with 3 inches of usable length for medium-duty fastening applications
• Sold in a pack of 10 for stocking or multi-unit service jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.25 inch diameter pin with a 3 inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical trades using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin pullers. Always ensure the receiving hole diameter is appropriate for a 0.25 inch pin before installation. After insertion, spread the prongs to the manufacturer-recommended angle to prevent backing out. Never reuse a previously installed cotter pin, as deformation from prior bending reduces retention reliability.
