Value Collection C207-CP1873000 Cotter Pin 3/16 X 3 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP1873000 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for mechanical fastening applications where positive retention is required. Measuring 3/16 inch in diameter and 3 inches in usable length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides corrosion resistance in standard service environments. The extended prong configuration allows for easy bending and locking after insertion, securing clevis pins, axles, and similar fasteners in place. Plumbers, millwrights, mechanics, and general maintenance technicians use this type of cotter pin across a wide range of equipment and structural assemblies.

This cotter pin suits residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies including linkage systems, pivot connections, hitch pins, and clevis arrangements found in HVAC equipment, plumbing supports, electrical panel hardware, and general industrial machinery. The zinc plating makes it appropriate for indoor and moderately humid environments. It meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications with material restriction requirements. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows secure post-insertion bending to lock fasteners in place
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for standard mechanical fastening loads
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance in typical indoor service conditions
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards for consistent fit and interchangeability
• RoHS compliant for use in applications with restricted substance requirements
• 3/16 inch diameter by 3 inches usable length fits a wide range of common pin diameters

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by general maintenance technicians and trade professionals using standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Always de-energize, depressurize, or support any assembly before inserting or removing cotter pins to prevent uncontrolled movement. Insert the pin through the aligned hole, then spread the prongs to secure. Do not reuse a previously bent cotter pin, as repeated bending reduces retention reliability.
