Value Collection C207-CP1871000 Cotter Pin 3/16x1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP1871000 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where positive locking of fasteners, pins, and clevis connections is required. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this cotter pin measures 3/16 inches in diameter and 1 inch in usable length. The extended prong design provides additional material for bending back securely after installation, reducing the risk of backing out under vibration or cyclic loading. It meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards and is RoHS compliant. Machinists, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades use these pins routinely in equipment assembly and repair.

This cotter pin is suited for light to medium-duty fastening applications across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Typical uses include securing castle nuts on clevis pins, hydraulic cylinder rod ends, linkage assemblies, and agricultural or HVAC equipment connections. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and moderate-exposure environments. This pin is sold individually as a single unit, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back firmly for a secure, vibration-resistant lock
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for light to medium-duty mechanical connections
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards for consistent fitment and interchangeability
• RoHS compliant formulation suitable for regulated applications
• 3/16 inch diameter with 1 inch usable length covers a wide range of common pin and bolt sizes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension replacement or service cotter pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16 inch diameter extended prong style pin conforming to ASME B18.8.1.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, machinists, or trade professionals using standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Always de-energize, depressurize, or otherwise render the host equipment safe before accessing fastener assemblies. Insert the pin through the aligned hole and castle nut slot, then bend the prongs apart firmly against the fastener face. Do not reuse a cotter pin that has been removed, as repeated bending weakens the material.
