Value Collection 92209 Extended Prong Cotter Pin Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92209 is an extended prong cotter pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. It measures 0.0625 inches in diameter and 0.75 inches in length. The extended prong design allows for secure retention after insertion, bending back around shafts, clevis pins, or fastener assemblies to prevent backing out under vibration or load. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, or mildly caustic environments. This pin is a standard hardware fastener used by mechanical contractors, millwrights, equipment technicians, and maintenance professionals across a wide range of trade and industrial applications.

This cotter pin is suited for light-duty retention applications in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Common uses include securing clevis pins in linkage assemblies, retaining castellated nuts on threaded fasteners, and locking shafts or axle pins in place. The extended prong style is preferred when additional bend-back length is needed after installation to ensure positive locking. Typical applications include HVAC equipment linkages, plumbing valve stems, and general mechanical assemblies where vibration resistance is required.

Key Features

• Extended prong design provides additional material for secure bend-back retention
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Compact 0.0625-inch diameter fits tight clearance holes and small-diameter pins
• 0.75-inch overall length suits a wide range of light-duty fastening scenarios
• Reusable material allows careful removal and reinstallation during servicing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for general mechanical retention applications where a 0.0625-inch diameter, 0.75-inch long stainless steel cotter pin is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond standard needle-nose pliers for bending the prongs after insertion. Always de-energize or shut down any equipment before servicing linkages, valve stems, or shaft assemblies. Insert the pin through the hole until the head seats, then bend the prongs apart around the shaft or fastener to lock in place. Do not reuse a cotter pin that has been bent more than once, as the material fatigues and may fail under vibration.
