Value Collection C207-CP3753500 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP3753500 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where a positive locking fastener is required to prevent axial movement of pins, shafts, and bolts. Measuring 3/8 inches in diameter and 3-1/2 inches in length, this cotter pin is constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides corrosion resistance in general-purpose service environments. Plumbers, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals use extended prong cotter pins as a reliable, low-cost safeguard in clevis, castle nut, and clevis pin applications.

This cotter pin is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical installations where a standard round-wire cotter pin would be too short or where the extended prong design is specified. Typical applications include securing clevis pins on linkage rods, locking castle nuts on threaded fasteners, and retaining axle pins on trailers, equipment frames, and control linkages. The zinc plating makes it appropriate for moderately humid environments where bare steel would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• Extended prong design provides positive locking and easy removal during maintenance
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable strength in general-purpose fastening
• Zinc-plated finish resists corrosion in moderate-humidity environments
• 3/8 inches diameter accommodates standard-sized clevis pins and castle nut slots
• 3-1/2 inches length suits deeper assemblies requiring additional pin engagement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin for use in standard mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8 inches diameter locking fastener.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by maintenance technicians and trade professionals using basic hand tools including needle-nose pliers. Always de-energize or lock out equipment before accessing fastener assemblies. Insert the pin through the hole fully, then bend the prongs apart and flat against the fastener to secure. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should never be reused after removal.
