Value Collection MP92248 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP92248 is an extended prong cotter pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel and supplied in an uncoated finish. At 3/16 inch in diameter and 1.5 inches in length, this pin is designed to lock clevis pins, shaft ends, and fastener assemblies in place, preventing axial movement under load or vibration. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back securely after insertion, providing a positive mechanical lock. It is a standard hardware item used by millwrights, maintenance technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications.

This cotter pin is suited for use in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. Typical applications include securing clevis pins on linkage assemblies, locking castle nuts on shafts, and retaining fasteners in fluid system components exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for outdoor, wet, or mildly corrosive environments where a carbon steel pin would be inadequate.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows legs to fold back flat for a secure mechanical lock after installation
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments
• Uncoated finish maintains consistent dimensional tolerances at the pin diameter
• 3/16 inch diameter fits standard clevis pin holes and castle nut slots sized for this pin class
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per pin, minimizing added weight in precision assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies, linkage systems, and fastener retention applications that require a 3/16 inch diameter cotter pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand tools; a pair of needle-nose pliers is the standard tool for inserting the pin through the hole and bending the prongs. Always ensure the receiving hole is clear of debris and sized correctly for a 3/16 inch pin before insertion. Once inserted, bend the prongs in opposite directions or fold both back flat against the pin to prevent backing out. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should not be reused after removal.
