Value Collection C207-CP2502000 Cotter Pin 1/4x2in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP2502000 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for mechanical fastening applications where positive locking of pins, bolts, or shafts is required. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this cotter pin measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length. The extended prong design allows for easier bending and securing after insertion, providing reliable retention in clevis pins, castle nuts, and similar fastening assemblies. Machinists, mechanics, and field service technicians working on industrial and mechanical equipment will find this pin meets standard dimensional and material requirements.

This cotter pin is suited for use in mechanical linkages, agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, and general fastening assemblies where a Grade 2 steel, zinc-plated fastener is appropriate. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for light-duty indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. The extended prong geometry is particularly useful in tight assemblies where a standard prong cotter pin would be difficult to bend into position after installation.

Key Features

• Extended prong design for easier post-installation bending and securing
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for standard mechanical fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in sheltered environments
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards for cotter pins
• RoHS compliant materials

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.8.1 extended prong cotter pin suitable for use in clevis pins, castle nuts, and mechanical linkage assemblies requiring a 0.25-inch diameter cotter pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with standard needle-nose pliers. Insert the pin fully through the drilled hole, then bend the prongs outward to secure. Always ensure the receiving hole diameter is appropriate for the pin diameter before installation. Inspect the pin and mating hardware for wear or damage before reuse; cotter pins are generally considered single-use fasteners and should be replaced if removed.
