Value Collection C207-CP1253000 Cotter Pin 1/8x3 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP1253000 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where positive locking of pins, bolts, or clevis fasteners is required. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this cotter pin measures 0.125 inches in diameter and 3 inches in overall length. The extended prong design allows for easy bending after insertion, providing a secure hold in through-holes. Licensed mechanics, maintenance technicians, and industrial assembly workers regularly install this type of fastener as part of standard mechanical retention systems.

This cotter pin is suited for use in light to medium duty mechanical applications including agricultural equipment, trailer hitches, clevis pin assemblies, and general machinery. The zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for both indoor and moderately exposed outdoor environments. It meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards and is RoHS compliant, making it appropriate for assemblies subject to environmental material restrictions.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows clean, positive bend after installation for secure retention
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for light to medium duty applications
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance for general use environments
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standard for cotter pins
• RoHS compliant for use in environmentally regulated assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any mechanical assembly requiring a 0.125-inch diameter extended prong cotter pin with a 3-inch usable length, conforming to ASME B18.8.1.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics or maintenance technicians using standard hand tools. Insert the cotter pin through the drilled hole in the bolt or pin shank, then spread the prongs apart to lock it in place. Always use a new cotter pin when reassembling a fastened joint — do not reuse a previously bent pin. Ensure the mating hole diameter is appropriate for a 0.125-inch pin before installation.
