Value Collection MP92233 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP92233 is an extended prong cotter pin used to secure fasteners, clevis pins, and shaft assemblies in mechanical and industrial applications. Machined to a 1/8 inch diameter with a 2 inch 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 cleanly after installation, locking the pin in place and preventing axial movement. Technicians and maintenance professionals reach for this style of cotter pin in assemblies that require a reliable, corrosion-resistant locking element without added coatings that could affect tolerances in tight bores.

This cotter pin is suited for general mechanical maintenance, agricultural equipment, hydraulic cylinder assemblies, linkage systems, and light structural connections. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor service environments. It is commonly installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals working across HVAC, plumbing, agricultural, and general industrial equipment platforms where positive pin retention is required.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows legs to be spread and bent for secure mechanical locking
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency in tight-tolerance bore applications
• 1/8 inch diameter fits standard clevis and shaft pin holes requiring this bore size
• 2 inch usable length accommodates a wide range of assembly thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin replacement for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/8 inch diameter pin with a 2 inch usable length in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond standard needle-nose or cotter pin pliers to spread the prongs after insertion. Ensure the mating pin hole is clean and free of burrs before seating the cotter pin. Always bend both prongs away from each other or back along the shaft to prevent backing out during service. Remove and discard used cotter pins rather than reusing them, as repeated bending fatigues the material.
