Value Collection C207-CP2502500 Cotter Pin 0.25x2.5in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP2502500 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure fasteners, pins, and shaft assemblies in mechanical and structural applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this pin measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place through a clevis, castle nut, or drilled shaft. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers install this type of fastener as a reliable, low-cost retention solution in a wide range of industrial and trade applications.

This cotter pin is suited for general mechanical assembly work including agricultural equipment, HVAC unit frame connections, plumbing fixture mounting hardware, and general structural pin retention. The zinc plating provides light-duty corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor or sheltered outdoor installations. It conforms to ASME B18.8.1 standards, making it a recognized fastener type across maintenance and manufacturing environments. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Key Features

• Extended prong style allows positive leg spread and secure retention after installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for general-purpose fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic protection against corrosion in sheltered environments
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 standards for cotter pin dimensions and form
• RoHS compliant materials

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-form replacement or stock cotter pin for any application requiring a 0.25-inch diameter extended prong cotter pin per ASME B18.8.1. Verify hole diameter and pin length against your specific assembly before installation.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by a qualified technician or mechanic using standard hand tools such as needle-nose pliers. Always ensure the receiving hole is clear and correctly sized before inserting the pin. After insertion, bend the prongs outward in opposite directions to lock the pin; do not reuse a cotter pin once it has been bent and removed. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for proper fastener retention procedures.
