Value Collection C207-CP1871250 Cotter Pin 3/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP1871250 is a Grade 2 steel extended prong cotter pin with a zinc-plated finish. It measures 3/16 inch in diameter and 1.25 inches in length. Extended prong cotter pins are used to secure clevis pins, axles, and fastener assemblies by spreading their prongs after insertion through a drilled hole or slotted fastener. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. This pin meets ASME B18.8.1 standards and is RoHS compliant. Mechanical technicians, millwrights, and maintenance professionals commonly use this fastener in light-duty mechanical assemblies.

This cotter pin suits a wide range of applications in general industrial, agricultural, automotive, HVAC linkage, and mechanical maintenance settings. It is used wherever a removable positive-retention method is needed on a pin or bolt. The extended prong design allows easier bending and spreading after installation compared to standard prong styles, making it well-suited for assemblies that require periodic disassembly and reassembly. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable light-duty tensile strength
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in moderate environments
• Extended prong design allows easier post-installation bending and spreading
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards
• RoHS compliant materials
• 3/16 inch diameter and 1.25 inch length for common fastener hole sizes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation cotter pin for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16 inch diameter extended prong style pin per ASME B18.8.1.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond standard needle-nose pliers for spreading the prongs after insertion. Always ensure the receiving hole diameter is matched to the pin diameter before installation to prevent looseness or binding. Spread the prongs a minimum amount necessary to retain the pin without over-stressing the material. For critical structural or safety applications, follow the equipment manufacturer's fastener specifications and applicable ASME or ANSI standards.
