Value Collection C207-CP3122000 Cotter Pin 5/16in X 2in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP3122000 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure fastener assemblies against loosening under vibration or axial load. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it measures 5/16 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent around a fastener or castellated nut after installation, locking the assembly in place. This type of pin is a standard single-use locking component used across mechanical, structural, and equipment maintenance applications by millwrights, mechanics, and maintenance technicians.

Extended prong cotter pins in this size range are commonly installed in clevis and pin joints, agricultural equipment linkages, industrial machinery, and general mechanical assemblies where a positive locking method is required. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor environments. Compliance with ASME B18.8.1 makes this pin suitable for standard engineered assemblies that specify dimensional conformance to that fastener standard.

Key Features

• Extended prong style allows secure leg bending around castellated nuts and clevis pins
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable shear and bend performance for light-to-medium duty applications
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards
• RoHS compliant materials

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.8.1 extended prong cotter pin suitable for clevis assemblies, castellated nut applications, and general mechanical pin-locking installations requiring a 5/16-inch diameter cotter pin.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians using standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin benders. Ensure the receiving hole is clear and properly sized before insertion. After passing the pin through the hole, bend the prongs firmly apart around the fastener to prevent backing out. Cotter pins are single-use components and must be replaced with new hardware any time the joint is disassembled.
