Value Collection C207-CP3756000 Cotter Pin 3/8x6in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP3756000 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where a secure, positive locking fastener is required. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 3/8 inches in diameter and 6 inches in usable length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place and preventing axial movement. This type of fastener is commonly installed by mechanical technicians, millwrights, and general maintenance trades working on shafts, clevis pins, and yoke assemblies.

The C207-CP3756000 is suited for light-to-medium duty mechanical applications in agricultural equipment, material handling systems, industrial machinery, and general manufacturing environments. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor use. This pin meets ASME B18.8.1 standards and is RoHS compliant, making it appropriate for use in assemblies subject to those requirements. Sold individually, it is available in a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Extended prong design secures shaft and clevis pin assemblies by bending prongs after insertion
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for light-to-medium duty mechanical use
• Zinc-plated finish offers baseline corrosion resistance for sheltered applications
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards for cotter pins
• RoHS compliant for use in regulated assemblies
• 3/8 inches diameter by 6 inches usable length suits larger bore pin holes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin per ASME B18.8.1, suitable for use in any mechanical assembly requiring a 3/8 inches diameter cotter pin with a 6 inches usable length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical trades following standard fastener practices. Always de-energize, lock out, and tag out equipment before servicing any assembly that contains cotter pins. Insert the pin fully through the drilled hole in the shaft or clevis pin, then bend the prongs in opposite directions against the fastener surface to lock it in place. Do not reuse a cotter pin that has been previously bent, as the material may be fatigued.
