It measures 5\/16 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back over a fastener or castle nut, providing positive retention and preventing axial movement in mechanical assemblies. At 0.01 pounds, this is a lightweight hardware component suited for use wherever corrosion resistance and reliable fastener locking are required. It meets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standards and carries RoHS compliance, making it appropriate for industrial, marine, and trade service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtended prong cotter pins like the C207-CPS3122500 are used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment linkages, pump and valve assemblies, plumbing fixture hardware, and general mechanical installations. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion, making it a practical choice for outdoor, wet, or chemically exposed environments. Technicians typically use these in situations where a clevis pin, axle pin, or castle nut requires positive locking to prevent loosening under vibration or load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtended prong design for secure wrap-around retention after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion and rust resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlain uncoated finish — no coating to flake or interfere with fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B18.8.1 dimensional standard for consistent sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRoHS compliant materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.01 pounds — minimal added mass to the assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-dimension extended prong cotter pin per ASME B18.8.1, suitable for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 5\/16 inch diameter cotter pin for fastener retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotter pins are installed by a qualified mechanic or technician after inserting them through the drilled hole of a pin or bolt and spreading the prongs to lock the assembly. Always ensure the receiving hole diameter is compatible before installation. Prongs should be bent fully around the fastener — do not leave prongs straight or only partially bent, as this reduces retention force. Single-use hardware: once removed, replace with a new cotter pin rather than reinstalling the used one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extended Prong\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-8 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plain (Uncoated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B18.8.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance\u003c\/strong\u003e: RoHS Compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31163204\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C207-CPS3122500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700194148658,"sku":"C207-CPS3122500","price":672.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ee7ca3d35dca688e79358d23da8e0384.jpg?v=1788387456","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-c207-cps3122500-cotter-pin-5-16-in-18-8-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
