Value Collection P20108 Extended Prong Cotter Pin Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20108 is an extended prong cotter pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches in length, this fastener is used to secure clevis pins, axle pins, and other cylindrical fasteners in assemblies where positive retention is required. The extended prong design allows the legs to be spread and bent back tightly against the workpiece after installation, locking the mating pin firmly in place. Trades and maintenance professionals working on mechanical linkages, HVAC damper assemblies, pump hardware, and general industrial equipment rely on this type of fastener for low-cost, reliable retention.

This cotter pin is suited for light to medium-duty fastening applications in both residential and commercial settings. Common uses include securing shaft hardware in HVAC damper linkages, plumbing valve actuators, and pool equipment mechanical assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments, making it appropriate for outdoor installations, pool mechanical rooms, and coastal service areas. This SKU is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it practical for shop stock and service van inventory.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks onto mating pin after legs are spread, preventing accidental withdrawal
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid service environments
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and allows visual inspection of the base material
• 0.125 inch diameter and 1.25 inch length suit standard clevis and axle pin applications
• Minimum order quantity of 100 units supports bulk restocking for field service operations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin for use wherever a 0.125 inch diameter, 1.25 inch long cotter pin is specified in mechanical linkage, valve, or equipment fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the pin through the aligned hole in the shaft or clevis pin, then spreading the prongs with needle-nose pliers and bending them flat against the workpiece. Always de-energize or lock out equipment before servicing any mechanical linkage that incorporates cotter pins. Single-use fasteners should be replaced rather than re-bent during reassembly to maintain secure retention.
