Value Collection 38240 Hammerlock Cotter Pin 5/32x1-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38240 is a hammerlock cotter pin used to secure clevis pins, hitch pins, and similar fasteners in mechanical assemblies. Measuring 5/32 inch in diameter and 1-3/4 inches in length, it is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. The hammerlock design allows for quick installation and removal without tools in most applications. This pin is a standard hardware item stocked for maintenance, repair, and operations use across industrial, agricultural, and general mechanical settings.

Hammerlock cotter pins of this size are commonly used in light to medium-duty clevis and linkage assemblies. Typical applications include securing pins on equipment control linkages, trailer hitches, agricultural implements, and general fabrication work. The 5/32 inch diameter and 1-3/4 inch length suit a range of standard pin retention tasks where a cotter pin is the specified locking method.

Key Features

• Hammerlock cotter pin design for quick-install pin retention
• 5/32 inch diameter fits standard clevis and hitch pin bores of that size
• 1-3/4 inch overall length suits typical light to medium-duty assemblies
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for general-purpose use
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic protection against corrosion in dry or low-moisture environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock hammerlock cotter pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/32 inch diameter cotter pin retention method.

Installation Notes

Hammerlock cotter pins are typically installed and removed by maintenance technicians or equipment operators without specialized tools. Always depressurize, de-energize, or mechanically restrain the assembly before removing or replacing pin fasteners to prevent unintended movement. Inspect the mating clevis or hitch pin bore for wear or damage before installing a new cotter pin. Replace the pin if it shows signs of deformation, corrosion, or fatigue.
