Value Collection P20113 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 1/8 X 3 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20113 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where positive locking and easy removal are required. The pin measures 1/8 inch in diameter and 3 inches in usable length, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. The extended prong configuration allows the prongs to be spread and bent after insertion, securing pins, bolts, and clevis assemblies in place. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides reliable corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and marine environments. Maintenance technicians, mechanics, and general tradespeople install this type of fastener across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications.

Extended prong cotter pins are used in clevis pin assemblies, axle and shaft retention, hydraulic cylinder rod ends, linkage systems, and agricultural equipment. The 3-inch length accommodates deeper through-holes and thicker assemblies where a standard-length pin would be insufficient. The uncoated stainless finish makes this pin well suited for environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or outdoor conditions. This SKU ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for shop stock, field service kits, and maintenance inventory.

Key Features

• Extended prong design spreads easily for positive locking in mechanical assemblies
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 1/8 inch diameter fits standard clevis pin and axle-retention applications at that bore size
• 3-inch usable length accommodates deeper through-hole assemblies
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy without added coating thickness

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in clevis assemblies, linkage systems, and mechanical retention applications requiring a 1/8 inch diameter pin with a 3-inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by a mechanic or maintenance technician using needle-nose pliers to spread the prongs after insertion through the hole. Always ensure the host assembly is de-energized and at rest before inserting or removing a cotter pin. Insert the pin fully through the hole so the head seats flush, then bend each prong in opposite directions a minimum of 90 degrees to prevent backing out. Never reuse a cotter pin once it has been bent and removed.
