Value Collection 92253 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92253 is a single extended prong cotter pin designed to secure fasteners, clevis pins, and axle pins in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, it provides reliable corrosion resistance in outdoor, marine, and wet-service environments. The pin measures 3/16 inch in diameter with a 3-inch usable length, making it suitable for medium-duty locking applications across a wide range of industries. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and general tradespeople install this type of hardware during equipment assembly, maintenance, and repair work.

Extended prong cotter pins are used wherever a standard cotter pin must be bent back or looped to secure a nut or pin in place under vibration or load. Common applications include linkage assemblies, trailer hitches, agricultural equipment, pump shafts, HVAC mechanical linkages, and general industrial machinery. The extended prong design allows the prong to be bent outward without splitting or cracking, maintaining secure retention over repeated service cycles.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows reliable bending for positive fastener retention
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Uncoated finish suitable for general mechanical and industrial service
• 3/16 inch diameter fits standard clevis and axle pin hole sizing
• 3-inch usable length accommodates a range of pin diameters and assembly thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16 inch diameter cotter pin with a 3-inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond standard needle-nose pliers for bending the prong after insertion. Always de-energize or lock out equipment before servicing any assembly that uses cotter pins to retain rotating or moving components. Insert the pin fully through the hole and bend the prong at least 90 degrees to prevent backing out during operation. Inspect the pin for deformation or corrosion at each service interval and replace as needed.
