Value Collection C207-CPS1872000 Cotter Pin 3/16x2in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CPS1872000 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for secure fastening in mechanical assemblies, clevis joints, and pinned connections. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a plain uncoated finish, it measures 3/16 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back tightly against a fastener or casting after installation, locking the pin firmly in place. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and service professionals working on industrial, HVAC, or mechanical equipment rely on this pin type for reliable, removable retention in moderate-load applications.

This cotter pin is suited for use in residential and commercial mechanical systems wherever a 3/16-inch pin diameter is required. Typical applications include linkage rods, clevis pins, hitch pins, and shaft retention in equipment ranging from HVAC damper linkages to general mechanical assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor environments. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• Extended prong configuration allows legs to fold back securely after insertion
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor service
• Plain uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of mechanical environments
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards for cotter pins
• RoHS compliant
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per pin

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension cotter pin per ASME B18.8.1 for use in any mechanical assembly requiring a 3/16-inch extended prong cotter pin in a 2-inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond standard needle-nose pliers for bending the prongs after insertion. Always de-energize or lock out equipment before servicing pinned connections. Insert the pin fully through the hole until the head seats, then spread the prongs to a minimum of 15 degrees to prevent backing out. Do not reuse a cotter pin once it has been removed.
