Value Collection C207-CP2504000 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP2504000 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies, fastening applications, and safety retention of pins, shafts, and clevis connections. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this cotter pin measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 4 inches in usable length. The extended prong design allows for a secure bend after installation, locking components in place and preventing accidental disassembly. Maintenance technicians and mechanical trades install this type of fastener across a wide range of industrial and commercial equipment.

This extended prong cotter pin is suited for residential and commercial maintenance applications where a reliable, low-cost mechanical retainer is required. Typical uses include securing clevis pins on linkage assemblies, retaining shaft components, and locking fasteners in place on equipment subject to vibration or dynamic loading. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. Manufactured to ASME B18.8.1 standards, it meets common engineering and procurement specifications for cotter pin fasteners.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows full bend-over after installation for secure mechanical retention
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for standard fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in sheltered environments
• Manufactured to ASME B18.8.1 standard for dimensional consistency
• RoHS compliant materials

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation extended prong cotter pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.25-inch diameter, 4-inch length fastener per ASME B18.8.1 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical trades using needle-nose pliers or a cotter pin tool. Always ensure the pin is fully seated through the clevis or shaft hole before bending the prongs. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing associated mechanical linkages. Do not reuse a previously bent cotter pin, as repeated bending can compromise the material integrity.
