Value Collection 40911 Extended Prong Cotter Pin Zinc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40911 is a zinc-plated steel extended prong cotter pin used to secure fasteners, clevis pins, shaft pins, and linkage assemblies in mechanical and industrial applications. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent around a pin or shaft after installation, locking the assembly in place without additional hardware. At 0.094 inches in diameter and 1.75 inches in length, this cotter pin suits light- to medium-duty fastening tasks across a wide range of trade and maintenance environments. Zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for use in dry or mildly humid conditions. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general trade professionals commonly install this type of fastener.

The 40911 extended prong cotter pin is suited for use in HVAC linkages, plumbing fixture assemblies, electrical panel hardware, and general mechanical maintenance. The compact diameter makes it appropriate for small-bore pin applications where a standard cotter pin is specified. It is sold individually and ordered in minimum quantities of 100 units, making it practical for stocking in trade shop inventory or service vehicle parts kits.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks securely when legs are spread after insertion
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in dry and mildly humid environments
• Steel construction for reliable shear and tensile performance in light- to medium-duty applications
• 0.094-inch diameter fits small-bore pin and shaft applications
• 1.75-inch length accommodates standard clevis and linkage pin assemblies
• Minimum order quantity of 100 units supports bulk shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin replacement for light- to medium-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.094-inch diameter pin in clevis, linkage, and shaft retention applications.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by general maintenance technicians and trade professionals using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Before installation, ensure the receiving pin or shaft hole is clear of burrs and aligned properly. Insert the cotter pin fully through the hole, then spread the prongs firmly around the shaft using pliers to prevent backing out. Always replace a cotter pin that has been removed rather than reinstalling a previously bent pin, as the metal fatigues with repeated bending.
