Value Collection C207-CPS1871250 Cotter Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CPS1871250 is an extended prong cotter pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a plain uncoated finish. Measuring 0.1875 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches in length, this fastener is designed to secure clevis pins, shaft ends, and other fastener assemblies against loosening under vibration or dynamic load. The extended prong design allows the legs to be spread and bent back tightly against the mating component for a secure lock. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general tradespeople install this type of hardware across mechanical, plumbing, and light structural applications.

Extended prong cotter pins in this size range are commonly used in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, linkage systems, and bracket connections where a reliable, corrosion-resistant locking fastener is required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this pin suitable for damp or mildly corrosive environments where carbon steel fasteners would be prone to rust. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Extended prong style allows legs to wrap securely around the mating fastener after installation
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• Plain uncoated finish — no coating to flake or interfere with close-tolerance holes
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards for cotter pins
• RoHS compliant materials
• Minimum order quantity of 100 units makes this suitable for stocking in a service vehicle or shop inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for any mechanical assembly requiring a 0.1875-inch diameter extended prong cotter pin per ASME B18.8.1.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by a qualified technician using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools after the pin is fully seated through the clevis or shaft hole. Always insert the pin fully before spreading the prongs — partial insertion reduces holding strength. Once spread, prongs should be bent flush against the mating surface and not left projecting outward. Do not reuse a cotter pin that has been removed from service.
