Value Collection C207-CP3124000 Cotter Pin 5/16 X 4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP3124000 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fastened connections in mechanical and industrial applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 5/16 inches in diameter and 4 inches in usable length. The extended prong design allows for easy bending and positive retention after installation, reducing the risk of the pin backing out under vibration or load. It is a standard hardware component installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general tradespeople across a wide range of industries.

This cotter pin is suited for use in agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, marine hardware, HVAC equipment linkages, and general mechanical assemblies where positive pin retention is required. The zinc plating provides moderate corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor service environments. At 5/16 inches in diameter and 4 inches in length, it fits mid-to-large clevis pins and similar fastener applications that require a longer-than-standard retention pin.

Key Features

• Extended prong design enables positive post-installation bending for secure retention
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable mechanical strength in typical load conditions
• Zinc-plated finish provides moderate corrosion resistance in general service environments
• 5/16 inch diameter fits standard mid-to-large clevis and shaft pin applications
• 4 inch usable length accommodates deeper assemblies requiring longer retention hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension replacement or service cotter pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/16 inch diameter extended prong pin with a 4 inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or general tradespeople using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Always de-energize or lock out the equipment before servicing any pinned connection. Insert the pin fully through the clevis or shaft bore, then bend the prongs outward to retain the pin in place. Do not reuse a previously bent cotter pin, as repeated bending compromises the material and reduces retention reliability.
