Value Collection C207-CP2503000 Cotter Pin 1/4x3in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP2503000 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, castle nuts, and shaft assemblies in mechanical and industrial applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 3 inches in usable length. The extended prong design allows for easier bending after insertion, providing a reliable mechanical lock in high-vibration or load-bearing assemblies. It is a standard fastener installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople working on equipment, valves, linkages, and structural connections.

This cotter pin is suited for use in equipment maintenance, piping system linkages, HVAC damper and actuator assemblies, and general mechanical fastening where a removable yet secure locking element is required. The zinc plating provides moderate corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for MRO stocking and production assembly applications.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows easier field bending and positive mechanical lock after installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for standard-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers moderate corrosion resistance in sheltered environments
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards for cotter pins
• RoHS compliant materials
• 0.25 inch diameter with 3 inch usable length covers a wide range of pin and clevis applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.25 inch diameter cotter pin conforming to ASME B18.8.1 standards.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by inserting the pin through a drilled hole in a shaft or clevis pin, then bending the prongs outward to secure the assembly. Always ensure the receiving hole diameter is properly matched to the pin diameter before insertion. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing fasteners on moving components per applicable safety standards. Single-use fasteners should be replaced rather than reused once removed.
