Value Collection P20101 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20101 is an extended prong cotter pin used to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fastened connections in mechanical and structural applications. Measuring 0.09375 inches (3/32 inches) in diameter and 1.5 inches in length, this pin is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, providing solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or moderately corrosive environments. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back easily after insertion, locking the pin securely in place. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, plumbers, and general contractors rely on this type of fastener for quick, tool-minimal assembly and disassembly.

Extended prong cotter pins in this size range are commonly used in light to medium-duty mechanical linkages, hinges, agricultural equipment, trailers, and plumbing valve assemblies. The 3/32-inch diameter suits smaller clevis or drilled-shaft applications where a standard or hammerlock prong style would be oversized. This pin is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it well suited for facilities maintenance stock, service truck inventory, or production-line assembly kits.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in wet or outdoor service conditions
• Extended prong style allows legs to be spread and bent back for a secure mechanical lock
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and is compatible with most pin hole tolerances
• 3/32-inch diameter fits smaller clevis pins and drilled shafts where compact fastening is required
• 1.5-inch length provides sufficient leg length for bending and retention on standard-depth assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock extended prong cotter pin for use in any mechanical assembly that accepts a 3/32-inch diameter cotter pin of 1.5-inch length.

Installation Notes

Insert the pin through the drilled hole in the shaft or clevis pin until the head seats flush against the opening. Spread the prongs using needle-nose pliers, bending one leg forward and one leg back to prevent the pin from backing out under vibration or load. Always depressurize, de-energize, or mechanically isolate the assembly before servicing connected components. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should not be reused once removed and straightened.
