Value Collection P20093 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20093 is an extended prong cotter pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Cotter pins are used to secure fasteners, clevis pins, and shaft-mounted hardware by inserting through a drilled hole and bending the prongs to lock components in place. This pin measures 1/16 inch in diameter with a usable length of 1 inch. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for wet, outdoor, or mildly corrosive environments. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians install cotter pins across a wide range of mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC applications.

This extended prong cotter pin is used in residential and commercial applications wherever a positive locking mechanism is needed on a clevis pin, shaft, or bolt. Common install scenarios include securing linkage rods, valve actuator arms, and mechanical assemblies in HVAC systems, plumbing equipment, and general mechanical systems. The extended prong design allows easier bending and removal compared to standard prong styles, which is useful in confined spaces or where the pin may need to be replaced during routine service.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Extended prong design allows easier bending and faster installation
• 1/16 inch diameter fits standard drilled holes in clevis pins and shafts
• 1 inch usable length accommodates a range of material thicknesses
• Uncoated finish suitable for direct contact with metal hardware without contamination concerns

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies, linkage systems, and fastener applications requiring a 1/16 inch diameter cotter pin.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians, HVAC service pros, or licensed tradespeople as part of mechanical assembly or routine service. Depressurize or de-energize the equipment before disassembling any mechanical linkage or valve assembly. Insert the pin fully through the drilled hole and bend each prong outward to secure. Do not reuse a previously bent cotter pin, as fatigue in the metal reduces holding reliability.
