Value Collection P20105 Extended Prong Cotter Pin Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20105 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for secure fastening in mechanical assemblies where positive retention is required. Measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches in length, this pin is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with no coating applied. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place and resisting vibration-induced loosening. This type of fastener is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, HVAC service professionals, plumbers, and millwrights working on equipment with clevis connections, pivot points, or shaft retention needs.

Extended prong cotter pins in this size range are used across a wide variety of light-duty mechanical applications including linkage assemblies, control rods, pump components, and valve actuators. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making this pin suitable for installations exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor environments. The uncoated finish means no concern about coating compatibility with mating materials.

Key Features

• Extended prong style allows secure leg spread after insertion for positive retention
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without a coating
• 0.125 inch diameter fits standard clevis and linkage bore sizes in that range
• 0.5 inch length suits thin-profile clevis pins, shafts, and bracket assemblies
• Uncoated finish eliminates coating delamination risk in wet or chemical environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical linkage assemblies, clevis connections, and pivot retention applications requiring a 0.125 inch diameter pin.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond needle-nose pliers to spread the prongs after insertion. Always power down or de-energize any mechanical or electrical assembly before servicing fasteners. Insert the pin fully through the bore so the eye seats flush, then bend the prongs apart to lock the pin in place. Do not reuse a previously bent cotter pin, as the metal fatigues at the bend point and retention strength is reduced.
