Value Collection -38226-1 Hammerlock Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -38226-1 is a hammerlock cotter pin designed for mechanical fastening applications where a reliable, low-profile locking pin is required. Measuring 7/64 inches in diameter and 1-3/4 inches in length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. Hammerlock cotter pins are used to secure clevis pins, shaft ends, and other fastener assemblies in place, preventing axial movement during operation. This part is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general industrial maintenance applications.

This hammerlock cotter pin fits into applications where a positive pin lock is needed without the bulk of a traditional cotter pin or snap ring. Typical uses include securing linkage pins, control arms, and clevis connections in HVAC damper actuators, general mechanical assemblies, and light industrial equipment. The compact 7/64 inch diameter makes it appropriate for smaller fastener bores where standard-size cotter pins would not fit. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 200 units, making it practical for stocking in maintenance shops and service vehicles.

Key Features

• Hammerlock design provides positive retention without secondary tools for removal in most service applications
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for light-duty mechanical fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered environments
• 7/64 inch diameter fits smaller clevis pins and linkage hardware
• 1-3/4 inch length accommodates standard light-duty clevis and linkage assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hammerlock cotter pin for light-duty mechanical fastening applications. Suitable for use wherever a 7/64 inch diameter cotter pin is specified in equipment service documentation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical tradespeople using standard hand tools. Always relieve any load or tension on the pin bore before inserting or removing cotter pins. Ensure the pin diameter matches the bore specification in the equipment service manual before installation. Inspect the mating clevis or shaft hole for wear or deformation that could prevent proper pin seating.
