Value Collection P20091 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20091 is an extended prong cotter pin machined from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. It measures 0.0625 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back securely after insertion, locking fasteners, clevis pins, and shaft assemblies in place against vibration and axial movement. This pin is used in mechanical assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, pool equipment, and general trade applications wherever a reliable, corrosion-resistant locking fastener is required. Technicians and mechanics install these by hand or with needle-nose pliers in low-clearance pin holes.

Extended prong cotter pins are a standard fastening solution in light-duty mechanical assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel construction offers good resistance to corrosion and is suitable for wet, outdoor, or chemically active environments. The uncoated surface keeps tolerances consistent and avoids coating buildup in tight-clearance applications. This pin is appropriate for residential and light commercial equipment maintenance, repair, and assembly work where a small-diameter, half-inch locking pin is specified.

Key Features

• Extended prong style allows secure leg bend-back after installation for positive retention
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency in tight-tolerance pin holes
• 0.0625 inches diameter fits standard small-bore cotter pin holes
• 0.5 inches length suits shallow fastening applications in compact assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.0625 inches diameter, 0.5 inches long locking pin in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using needle-nose pliers or a cotter pin tool. Always power down or de-energize equipment before servicing any mechanical assembly containing cotter pins. Insert the pin fully through the hole, then bend the prongs apart and flat against the mating surface to lock in place. Do not reuse a cotter pin that has been removed, as repeated bending degrades the metal and reduces holding reliability.
