Value Collection P20106 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20106 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shafts, and fasteners in a wide range of mechanical assemblies. Measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 0.75 inches in length, this pin is constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, providing solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and chemically exposed environments. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place and preventing backing out under vibration or movement. Technicians and tradespeople rely on this style of pin for reliable, removable retention in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical equipment service applications.

This cotter pin is suited for light to medium-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial maintenance, equipment assembly, and field repair scenarios. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations where mild corrosion exposure is expected, including outdoor mechanical linkages, pump assemblies, valve stems, and similar components. It is sold individually and is intended for use in applications requiring a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical tradespeople using needle-nose pliers or a cotter pin tool. Before installation, ensure the receiving hole is clear and properly sized for a 0.125-inch pin. Insert the pin fully through the hole, then bend the extended prongs outward in opposite directions to lock the pin in place. To remove, straighten the prongs carefully before pulling the pin to avoid damaging the host component.
