Value Collection C207-CPS2501250 Cotter Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CPS2501250 is an extended prong cotter pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a plain uncoated finish. Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches in length, this pin is designed to lock fasteners, clevis pins, and shaft assemblies in position by spreading its prongs after insertion. The extended prong configuration provides added retention security compared to standard prong designs. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, millwrights, and general maintenance professionals use cotter pins like this to secure linkage assemblies, valve stems, and mechanical components in both indoor and outdoor environments. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active service conditions.

This cotter pin is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a reliable, corrosion-resistant locking fastener is required. Common applications include securing clevis pins in control linkages, locking axle and shaft pins in place, and retaining components in HVAC equipment linkages, plumbing valve assemblies, and general industrial machinery. The plain finish keeps the part close to bare metal tolerances, making it compatible with tight-clearance bores. This part is sold individually and must be ordered in minimum quantities of 10 units.

Key Features

• Extended prong design provides greater retention and resistance to backing out under vibration
• 18-8 stainless steel material grade offers solid corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Plain uncoated finish suits applications where coatings could add unwanted dimensional variance
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards for consistent, interchangeable fitment
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance-stock cotter pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.25-inch diameter extended prong pin conforming to ASME B18.8.1.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the pin through the aligned hole in the fastener or shaft assembly, then bending the prongs outward to lock the pin in place. Always de-energize and isolate any mechanical or electrical system before accessing internal linkage components. Use standard needle-nose pliers or a cotter pin puller for removal to avoid deforming the bore. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should be replaced with new hardware any time the assembly is serviced.
