Value Collection C207-CP5006000 Cotter Pin 1/2 X 6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CP5006000 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for mechanical fastening applications where a positive locking retention method is required. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 6 inches in usable length. The extended prong design allows the prongs to be bent back over a fastener or clevis after installation, creating a secure, tamper-resistant lock. It is used by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and general industrial trades for securing castle nuts, clevis pins, and shaft assemblies across a wide range of machinery and equipment.

This cotter pin is suited for use in industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, material handling systems, and structural assemblies where positive pin retention is critical. The zinc plating provides moderate corrosion resistance for both indoor and light outdoor environments. The Grade 2 steel construction meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards and is RoHS compliant, making it appropriate for general industrial and commercial maintenance applications. It is sold individually per package at a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Extended prong style allows prongs to fold back over fastener for positive mechanical lock
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides moderate corrosion resistance in light-duty environments
• RoHS compliant materials suitable for commercial and industrial use
• 0.5 inch diameter and 6 inch usable length fits heavy-duty clevis and shaft applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin for use with clevis pins, castle nuts, and shaft retention applications conforming to ASME B18.8.1 dimensional requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance mechanics or millwrights using standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Always de-energize and lock out the machine before installing or removing cotter pins on rotating or load-bearing assemblies. Insert the pin fully through the hole so the eye seats flush against the fastener, then spread the prongs apart to secure. Do not reuse a cotter pin that has been previously bent or deformed.
