Value Collection C207-CPS1872500 Cotter Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CPS1872500 is an extended prong cotter pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a plain uncoated finish. It measures 0.1875 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length, conforming to ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards. The extended prong design allows for positive retention after installation, making it a reliable choice for securing clevis pins, axles, and shaft hardware in mechanical assemblies. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and trade professionals working on equipment in corrosive or washdown environments favor 18-8 stainless for its resistance to oxidation and its durability across a broad service range.

This cotter pin is suited for use in mechanical fastening applications across HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, pool and spa equipment linkages, and general industrial machinery. Its extended prong geometry fits installations where standard prong length is insufficient for proper bending clearance. Sold individually per package, this SKU is ordered in multiples of 100 units, making it practical for stocking in service vans or shop inventory for repeated maintenance tasks.

Key Features

• Extended prong design provides positive mechanical retention after prong is bent
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Plain uncoated finish — no coating to flake or contaminate assemblies
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standard for consistent fitment
• RoHS compliant materials

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension extended prong cotter pin per ASME B18.8.1, suitable for use in any clevis, pin, or shaft retention application requiring a 0.1875-inch diameter cotter pin.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by mechanical and maintenance technicians as secondary fasteners to prevent axial movement of pins and shafts. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before accessing pinned linkages. Insert the pin fully through the hole, then bend the prongs apart around the fastener using needle-nose pliers — do not reuse a cotter pin that has already been bent. Discard and replace with a new pin during every service interval.
