Value Collection P20100 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20100 is an extended prong cotter pin used to secure fasteners, clevis assemblies, and shaft components in mechanical and structural applications. Measuring 3/32 inch in diameter and 1-1/4 inches in length, this pin is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, providing reliable corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back securely after installation, locking the pin in place and preventing backing out under vibration or dynamic loads. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance mechanics install this type of fastener across a wide range of equipment and assemblies.

Extended prong cotter pins are used in residential and commercial maintenance scenarios wherever a positive-retention fastener is needed on a clevis pin, castle nut, or shaft. Common applications include linkage assemblies, valve stems, pump shafts, and mechanical control rods. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this pin suitable for installations exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor conditions. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, this pin is well suited for shops, maintenance departments, and contractors stocking standard fastener inventory.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks securely when legs are bent after installation
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Uncoated finish — no plating to chip, peel, or contaminate the joint

• 1-1/4 inch length accommodates typical linkage and shaft thicknesses
• Minimum order quantity of 100 units supports shop stock and bulk service needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical linkage assemblies, clevis joints, castle nut applications, and shaft retention wherever a 3/32 inch diameter pin is specified.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by general mechanics and maintenance technicians using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Relieve any load from the assembly before servicing the fastener. Insert the pin fully through the hole so the eye seats flush, then bend the prongs outward in opposite directions to lock the pin — do not reuse a previously bent cotter pin. Always verify the pin diameter and length match the application specification before installation.
