Value Collection 38220 Hammerlock Cotter Pin Zinc-plated

Product Description

The Value Collection 38220 is a hammerlock cotter pin used to secure clevis pins, shaft ends, and linkage assemblies in mechanical and industrial applications. Measuring 0.09375 inches (3/32 inches) in diameter and 1.75 inches in length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. The hammerlock design locks onto itself once installed, eliminating the need for a separate retaining clip. Technicians in HVAC, plumbing, pool equipment, and general mechanical maintenance use this type of pin to retain components in low-to-medium load linkage connections.

This cotter pin is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, reusable mechanical fastener is needed to secure rotating or sliding linkage components. Common install scenarios include damper linkages, actuator arms, pump handle assemblies, and valve linkage rods. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for shop stock or service van inventory where high-volume usage is expected.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of cotter pins is a standard mechanical task performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any linkage or actuator assembly. Use needle-nose pliers or a cotter pin puller for removal to avoid deforming the pin or surrounding hardware. Inspect the mating clevis or pin bore for wear before installing a new cotter pin.
