Value Collection 3SCP20200 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 5/16in X 2in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3SCP20200 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure fasteners, clevis pins, and axle shafts in mechanical assemblies across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and equipment service applications. The pin measures 5/16 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back securely after installation, providing a positive lock against backed pin pull-out. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or outdoor environments. Sold in a pack of 5.

This cotter pin is suited for use in light mechanical and equipment service applications where a positive, non-loosening fastener retention method is required. Common installations include linkage assemblies, hinge pins, control rods, and clevis connections found in HVAC equipment, pumps, valve linkages, and general mechanical systems. The uncoated 18-8 stainless finish makes it appropriate for use in damp, corrosive, or outdoor service conditions without the need for additional protective coating.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows legs to be bent outward for a secure mechanical lock
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 5/16 inches diameter fits standard clevis and axle pin bores of corresponding size
• 2 inches usable length accommodates a range of assembly thicknesses
• Uncoated finish — no coating to chip, flake, or contaminate the assembly
• Pack of 5 for service kit stocking or multi-unit repairs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/16 inch diameter pin with a 2 inch usable length. Consult equipment service documentation to confirm pin bore diameter and required length before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with standard pliers — no special tools required. Insert the pin fully through the bore so the eye seats against the assembly face, then separate and bend the prongs outward against the mating surface to lock. Always use a new cotter pin when reassembling a fastener; do not reuse bent or deformed pins. Shut down and de-energize any equipment before servicing pinned linkages or shaft assemblies.
