Value Collection P20112 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20112 is an extended prong cotter pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length, this pin is designed to secure fasteners, clevis pins, and shaft assemblies against axial movement and vibration-induced loosening. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back easily after insertion, providing a positive lock without requiring special tooling. Maintenance technicians and mechanical tradespeople install this type of pin across a wide range of industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical system applications.

Extended prong cotter pins in this size are commonly used in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a reliable, corrosion-resistant locking fastener is required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this pin suitable for environments with moderate moisture exposure, including equipment rooms, mechanical chases, and outdoor mechanical connections. The uncoated surface is compatible with most standard installation environments without risk of coating interference at pin holes.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows easy leg spreading for secure post-installation lock
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in damp or humid environments
• Uncoated finish - no coating buildup to interfere with tight-tolerance pin holes
• 0.125 inch diameter suits standard clevis and shaft pin hole sizes common in mechanical assemblies
• 2.5 inch length accommodates a range of shaft and fastener thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use cotter pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.125 inch diameter extended prong style pin in applications where corrosion-resistant fastening is needed.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by mechanical technicians using standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Always de-energize or lock out equipment before accessing pin-secured assemblies. Insert the pin fully through the hole until the head seats flush, then bend the prongs outward to prevent backing out. Never reuse a previously bent cotter pin - always install a new pin when reassembling.
