Value Collection C207-CPS1871500 Cotter Pin 3/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CPS1871500 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for use in mechanical fastening applications where positive locking is required. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a plain uncoated finish, this pin measures 3/16 inches in diameter and 1-1/2 inches in length. The extended prong design allows prongs to be bent securely around a fastener after insertion, preventing loosening under vibration or dynamic loads. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install this type of pin in clevis joints, shafts, and castellated nut assemblies across industrial and mechanical systems. It meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards and is RoHS compliant.

This cotter pin is suited for general mechanical assembly and maintenance work in industrial, agricultural, HVAC equipment, and commercial trade applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in environments with moisture exposure, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor mechanical connections. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it practical for shop stock, service fleets, and maintenance departments that consume cotter pins in volume.

Key Features

• Extended prong design for secure post-insertion bending and positive locking
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without a coating
• Plain uncoated finish — no plating to delaminate or interfere with close-tolerance holes
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards for reliable fitment in standard-spec applications
• RoHS compliant materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16-inch diameter cotter pin in standard castellated nut, clevis, and shaft-retention applications.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers using standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin pullers. Always ensure the mounting hole is clean and properly sized for a 3/16-inch pin before insertion. After inserting the pin through the hole, spread the prongs to lock it in place — do not reuse a previously bent cotter pin. Power down or de-energize any connected equipment before servicing assemblies that contain cotter pins under load.
