Value Collection C207-CPS2502000 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CPS2502000 is an extended prong cotter pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a plain uncoated finish. It measures 0.25 inches in diameter with a usable length of 2 inches, conforming to ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards. Extended prong cotter pins are used to secure clevis pins, castle nuts, and fastener assemblies in mechanical, industrial, and structural applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor environments. Installation requires no special tooling beyond standard pliers for bending the prongs after insertion.

This cotter pin suits a wide range of assembly and maintenance applications across industrial, agricultural, automotive, and general mechanical work. The extended prong design allows for a positive lock in thicker or recessed installations where standard prong reach is insufficient. It is a direct fit wherever ASME B18.8.1 compliant extended prong cotter pins are specified. This item is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units per order.

Key Features

• Extended prong design for secure retention in deep or recessed pin holes
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Plain uncoated finish — no coatings to flake or interfere with close-tolerance fits
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards
• RoHS compliant materials
• 0.25 inches diameter with 2 inches usable length covers a broad range of fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as an ASME B18.8.1 compliant extended prong cotter pin suitable for use with clevis pins, castle nuts, and threaded fastener assemblies requiring a 0.25-inch diameter locking pin.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by mechanical and maintenance technicians using standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Always relieve load from the fastener assembly before removing or installing a cotter pin. Insert the pin fully through the drilled hole, then bend the prongs outward to lock — do not reuse a previously bent cotter pin, as the material fatigues at the bend point. Dispose of removed pins and replace with new hardware per applicable maintenance standards.
