Value Collection C207-CP3753000 Cotter Pin 3/8x3 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP3753000 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for secure mechanical fastening in a wide range of industrial and maintenance applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 0.375 inches in diameter and 3 inches in usable length. The extended prong design allows for easy bending and locking after installation, providing reliable retention of clevis pins, axle shafts, and similar fastener assemblies. It meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for use in environments with material restriction requirements. Installers in maintenance, manufacturing, and mechanical service work will find this pin straightforward to source and install.

This cotter pin is appropriate for light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where a positive locking fastener is required. Typical applications include agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, automotive linkages, and general mechanical maintenance. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance suitable for dry or mildly exposed service conditions. This item is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 50 units, making it well-suited for shop stock or recurring maintenance supply programs.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension replacement or stock cotter pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.375 inch diameter extended prong cotter pin conforming to ASME B18.8.1.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical assemblers using standard hand tools such as needle-nose pliers. Always relieve load and de-energize or immobilize the equipment before removing or installing cotter pins in load-bearing or moving assemblies. Insert the pin fully through the hole in the shaft or bolt, then bend the prongs outward to lock in place. Do not reuse cotter pins once removed, as bending fatigues the material.
