Value Collection C207-CPS2502500 Cotter Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CPS2502500 is an extended prong cotter pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a plain uncoated finish. Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length, this pin is designed to secure clevis pins, shafts, and fasteners in assemblies where reliable locking retention is required. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, providing a positive lock that resists vibration and accidental withdrawal. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this type of hardware in mechanical assemblies across industrial, marine, and commercial equipment applications.

This cotter pin is suited for use in mechanical linkages, clevis assemblies, agricultural equipment, marine hardware, and general industrial fastening applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides good resistance to rust and oxidation, making it appropriate for wet or outdoor environments. Minimum order quantity is 10 units; each package contains 1 pin.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks securely after bending, resisting vibration-induced backing out
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Plain uncoated finish — no coating to crack, chip, or interfere with close-tolerance bores
• Conforms to ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards for consistent fitment
• RoHS compliant

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.8.1 extended prong cotter pin for use in clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and mechanical linkages requiring a 0.25-inch diameter retaining pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using needle-nose pliers to spread and bend the prongs after insertion. Always ensure the host pin hole diameter matches the cotter pin diameter before installation. Remove and replace cotter pins any time a joint is disassembled — never reuse a bent cotter pin. Shut down and de-energize any equipment before servicing fastened assemblies.
