Value Collection 40910 Extended Prong Cotter Pin Zinc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40910 is a zinc-plated steel extended prong cotter pin used to secure pins, shafts, and clevis connections in mechanical assemblies. At 3/32 inch in diameter and 1-1/2 inches in length, this cotter pin is sized for light-duty fastening applications where reliable retention is required. The extended prong design allows both legs to be bent back firmly after insertion, locking the pin in place and resisting vibration-induced loosening. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and sheltered outdoor use. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly keep these on hand as standard hardware stock.

Extended prong cotter pins at this diameter are used across a wide range of mechanical and industrial applications including clevis pin retention, cotter pin holes on castle nuts, linkage assemblies, and light machinery. The 3/32 inch diameter fits standard drilled holes in this size class. These pins are well suited for production maintenance environments, equipment repair, and general mechanical assembly work where a reliable, low-cost locking fastener is needed.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for general mechanical fastening applications requiring a 3/32 inch diameter cotter pin in a 1-1/2 inch length.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by a mechanic or maintenance technician after the primary fastener or pin is in position. Insert the cotter pin through the drilled hole, then spread or bend both prongs apart to lock it in place. Always de-energize or lock out equipment before servicing any pinned mechanical connection. Do not reuse a cotter pin that has already been bent and removed, as repeated bending weakens the material and may cause failure in service.
