Value Collection C90049 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C90049 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for use in mechanical fastening applications where a secure, removable locking pin is required. Measuring 3/16 inch in diameter and 1 inch in usable length, this pin is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back reliably after insertion, securing clevis pins, axle bolts, and similar fasteners in place. It is used across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical assemblies wherever a standard split cotter pin is specified.

This cotter pin is suited for light-duty mechanical connections in both residential and commercial settings. Typical applications include securing clevis pins in linkage assemblies, retaining bolts in bracket assemblies, and locking pins in equipment hinges. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for indoor and outdoor installations where moisture exposure is a consideration. It is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, HVAC mechanics, and general tradespeople.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows reliable leg-bending after insertion for positive retention
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• 3/16 inch diameter fits standard clevis pins and fastener bores of matching specification
• 1 inch usable length accommodates typical light- to medium-duty fastener assemblies
• Uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or corrode in service

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical fastener assemblies requiring a 3/16 inch diameter locking pin with 1 inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond standard needle-nose pliers for bending the prongs after insertion. Ensure the receiving bore is clear and the clevis or retaining pin is fully seated before inserting the cotter pin. Spread the prongs evenly to avoid stress cracking, and do not reuse a cotter pin that has been previously bent. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards for the equipment being serviced.
