Value Collection C207-CPS1561250 Cotter Pin Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CPS1561250 is an extended prong cotter pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a plain uncoated finish. At 0.156 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches in length, this pin is designed to lock clevis pins, shaft ends, and fastener assemblies against loosening under vibration or dynamic load. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back easily over the mating component after installation, providing a secure mechanical lock. Fabricated to ASME B18.8.1 standards and listed as RoHS compliant, this pin suits applications where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency are required.

Extended prong cotter pins of this size are commonly used in light mechanical assemblies, linkage systems, agricultural equipment, marine hardware, and general industrial fastening applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this pin suitable for wet, humid, or mildly corrosive environments where carbon steel cotter pins would be prone to rust. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers install these pins as a final retention step in bolted or pinned connections. This SKU is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• Extended prong design for easy post-installation leg spreading and secure mechanical retention
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and mildly corrosive environments
• Plain uncoated finish — no coating to flake, crack, or contaminate nearby components
• Manufactured to ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards for consistent fit across standard clevis and pin applications
• RoHS compliant material composition

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.8.1 extended prong cotter pin for use in any application requiring a 0.156-inch diameter pin with a 1.25-inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Install cotter pins only after the mating fastener or clevis pin is fully seated and torqued to specification. Insert the cotter pin through the hole, then spread the prongs using needle-nose pliers — bend one prong over the bolt end and the other back along the shank. Never reuse a cotter pin that has already been bent; replace with a new pin on reassembly. Wear eye protection when spreading prongs, as stainless steel can spring unexpectedly under tool pressure.
