Value Collection C207-CPS2504000 Cotter Pin 1/4x4 in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C207-CPS2504000 is an extended prong cotter pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a plain uncoated finish. Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 4 inches in usable length, this pin is designed to secure fasteners, clevis pins, and shaft assemblies against loosening or withdrawal. The extended prong design allows for positive locking by bending the prongs around the mating component after installation. Meets ASME B18.8.1 standards and is RoHS compliant. Suitable for use in corrosive or washdown environments where stainless steel is specified over zinc-plated or carbon steel alternatives.

Extended prong cotter pins of this size are commonly used in mechanical assemblies across HVAC equipment linkages, plumbing valve stems, pool equipment frames, and general industrial machinery. The 0.25-inch diameter and 4-inch length suit medium-load fastening applications where a standard prong pin may lack sufficient locking engagement. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and equipment service professionals routinely stock this size for field repairs and scheduled maintenance.

Key Features

• Extended prong design provides positive mechanical locking after prong bending
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Plain uncoated finish — no risk of coating delamination in service
• Meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standard
• RoHS compliant
• 0.25-inch diameter by 4-inch usable length suits medium-load fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.8.1 extended prong cotter pin for use in any clevis, shaft, or pin-retained assembly requiring a 0.25-inch diameter locking pin with a 4-inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Always de-energize or shut down the associated equipment before replacing or installing cotter pins in mechanical assemblies. Insert the pin fully through the hole in the mating fastener or shaft, then bend the prongs outward using needle-nose pliers to lock the pin in place. Do not reuse a previously bent cotter pin — single-use installation is standard practice. Consult applicable equipment service manuals and relevant codes for torque and assembly sequence requirements on the parent fastener.
