Value Collection 40902 Extended Prong Cotter Pin Zinc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40902 is a zinc-plated steel extended prong cotter pin used to secure clevis pins, shafts, and fasteners in mechanical assemblies. It measures 1/16 inch in diameter with a 1-inch usable length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, locking the pin in place without additional hardware. This cotter pin is a standard hardware component installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical tradespeople across industrial, agricultural, and general-purpose applications. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance in mild service environments.

Extended prong cotter pins like the 40902 are used wherever a removable yet secure fastening solution is needed on clevis assemblies, linkage rods, castle nuts, and axle pins. They are common in light machinery, conveyor systems, agricultural equipment, and HVAC damper linkages. The 1/16-inch diameter and 1-inch length suit smaller pin and hole configurations found in light-duty mechanical connections. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Extended prong style allows easy leg spread for a secure lock after insertion
• 1/16-inch diameter fits small clevis pins and shaft applications
• 1-inch usable length accommodates standard light-duty assemblies
• Zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance in mild environments
• Minimum order quantity of 100 pieces supports shop stock and maintenance inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 1/16-inch diameter pin hole and approximately 1-inch usable pin length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical tradespeople using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Before installing, ensure the mating pin hole is clear and the assembly is de-energized or depressurized as required by the equipment service procedure. After insertion, bend the prong legs outward to secure the pin. Never reuse a previously bent cotter pin, as the metal fatigues and may fail in service.
