Measuring 3\/32 inch in diameter and 1-1\/4 inches in length, this cotter pin installs by inserting through a drilled hole and bending the extended prongs outward to lock the fastener in place. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty outdoor use. Machinists, millwrights, mechanics, and general maintenance technicians regularly specify this style of cotter pin for equipment assembly and repair work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtended prong cotter pins are used across a wide range of mechanical assemblies including agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, automotive linkages, and general fabrication. The extended prong style offers more material to bend and secure compared to a standard prong design, making it a preferred choice in applications where vibration or dynamic loading could work a fastener loose. This pin is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it well suited for shop stock and MRO inventory replenishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtended prong design provides additional material for a more secure bend and positive lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated steel construction offers corrosion resistance for general-purpose use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/32 inch diameter fits standard drilled holes in clevis pins, bolts, and shafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch length accommodates moderate material thickness at the locking point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces for efficient shop stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin for use in standard drilled-hole fastening applications across mechanical, industrial, and maintenance assemblies requiring a 3\/32 inch pin diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotter pins are typically installed by mechanics, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Always insert the pin fully through the drilled hole before spreading the prongs, and bend each prong in opposite directions to ensure a secure lock. Never reuse a cotter pin that has already been bent and removed, as fatigue in the metal reduces holding reliability. De-energize and lock out equipment per applicable safety procedures before accessing any fasteners on rotating or pressurized assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extended Prong\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40909\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689377595698,"sku":"40909","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/bd8bdac59dd1d888d0b850d2c7ea3e62.jpg?v=1788258555","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-40909-extended-prong-cotter-pin-zinc-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
