Value Collection C207-CP1872500 Cotter Pin 3/16 X 2.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP1872500 is an extended prong cotter pin used to secure clevis pins, shaft ends, and fastener assemblies in mechanical and industrial applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 3/16 inch in diameter and 2.5 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back firmly after installation, providing reliable retention in high-vibration or load-bearing environments. It meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards and is RoHS compliant. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly install this type of fastener as part of routine mechanical assembly and repair work.

This cotter pin is suited for use in general industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, automotive linkages, and structural pin-and-clevis connections. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for light-duty outdoor or moderately humid environments. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making this item appropriate for shop stock, maintenance crib inventory, or production-line fastener kits.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows secure leg-bend retention after installation
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable mechanical strength in standard fastener applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides light corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards
• RoHS compliant
• Sold per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 units

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension replacement or new-installation cotter pin for any clevis pin, castle nut, or shaft assembly requiring a 3/16 inch diameter cotter pin per ASME B18.8.1 specifications.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by maintenance technicians and machinists using standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Always insert the pin fully through the hole before bending the prongs, and never reuse a previously bent cotter pin. Ensure the mating hole diameter is appropriate for the 3/16 inch pin before installation to avoid a loose fit that could allow backing out under vibration.
