Value Collection 92256 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92256 is an extended prong cotter pin used to secure fasteners, clevis pins, and axle assemblies in mechanical and industrial applications. Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in length, this pin is machined from 18-8 stainless steel and left uncoated, giving it solid corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back firmly after insertion, locking the pin in place without additional hardware. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general trade mechanics install this type of fastener as part of routine equipment service and assembly work.

This cotter pin is suited for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where a reliable, reusable locking fastener is needed. Common applications include linkage assemblies, clevis connections, agricultural equipment, pump shafts, and trailer hardware. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for marine, poolside, and outdoor plumbing or HVAC equipment installations where mild corrosive exposure is expected.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks securely when legs are bent after insertion
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without a coating
• 0.25 inch diameter fits standard clevis and axle pin holes in that size range
• 1.5 inch length accommodates typical clevis pin and shaft assemblies
• Uncoated finish eliminates flaking or coating degradation in wet environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement extended prong cotter pin for mechanical assemblies, linkage systems, and equipment that accept a 0.25 inch diameter cotter pin.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond needle-nose pliers to bend the prongs after the pin is inserted through the hole. De-energize or power down any equipment and relieve any hydraulic or mechanical load before servicing the connected assembly. Insert the pin fully through the hole so the head seats flush, then spread the prongs apart to lock it in position. Do not reuse a cotter pin that has been bent and removed, as the metal fatigues and the holding strength is reduced.
