Value Collection 38265 Hammerlock Cotter Pin 1/4 X 4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38265 is a hammerlock cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shaft ends, and fastener assemblies in mechanical, HVAC, and general trade applications. Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 4 inches in usable length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in light-duty service environments. The hammerlock design allows the pin to be inserted and locked without additional hardware, making it a reliable choice for quick-connect fastening tasks in the field.

This cotter pin is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a positive locking pin is required to retain linkage arms, clevis yokes, damper rods, or similar components. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors frequently use hammerlock cotter pins when servicing actuator linkages, valve assemblies, and bracket connections. The zinc-plated finish makes it appropriate for dry or mildly humid indoor environments.

Key Features

• Hammerlock design locks securely without additional fasteners
• 0.25-inch diameter x 4-inch usable length fits standard clevis and linkage applications
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable light-duty mechanical strength
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion protection in indoor environments
• Compact and lightweight at 0.01 pounds for easy field carrying

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hammerlock cotter pin for use with clevis pins and linkage assemblies requiring a 0.25-inch diameter locking pin in light-duty mechanical installations.

Installation Notes

Hammerlock cotter pins are installed by hand or with basic pliers and require no special tools. Always de-energize or shut down the associated mechanical system before servicing linkage or fastener assemblies. Ensure the pin diameter matches the hole in the clevis or shaft end before insertion to prevent binding or premature wear. Replace any bent or deformed cotter pins rather than reusing them.
