Value Collection C207-CPS1871750 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CPS1871750 is an extended prong cotter pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a plain uncoated finish. It measures 3/16 inches in diameter and 1-3/4 inches in length. Extended prong cotter pins are used to secure clevis pins, bolts, and fasteners in mechanical assemblies by inserting through a drilled hole and bending the prongs outward to lock the fastener in place. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. This pin meets ASME B18.8.1 standards and is RoHS compliant. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general tradespeople working on mechanical, HVAC, or light structural assemblies.

This extended prong cotter pin is suited for use in a wide range of mechanical fastening applications across residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Typical uses include securing clevis pins in linkage systems, retaining shaft-mounted components, and locking fasteners in agricultural, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical equipment. The extended prong design allows for easier bending and a more secure lock compared to standard prong styles. This part is sold individually and requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Extended prong design for secure, positive locking after installation
• Plain uncoated finish — no coating to flake or interfere with close-tolerance holes
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards
• RoHS compliant materials
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per pin

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin per ASME B18.8.1, suitable for use in any mechanical assembly requiring a 3/16-inch diameter cotter pin in a 1-3/4-inch length.

Installation Notes

Extended prong cotter pins are installed by inserting the pin through a drilled or pre-punched hole in a fastener or shaft, then bending the prongs apart to lock the pin in place. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing components that use cotter pins. Use needle-nose pliers to bend prongs — do not reuse a cotter pin once the prongs have been bent, as metal fatigue reduces holding strength. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer instructions for fastener retention requirements.
