Value Collection 40914 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 7/64 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40914 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and linkage hardware in mechanical and structural applications. Measuring 7/64 inch in diameter and 1 inch in usable length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in light-duty service environments. The extended prong configuration allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place without additional fasteners. It is installed by maintenance technicians, machinists, and field service professionals across a range of general industrial and equipment applications.

This cotter pin is suited for use in agricultural equipment, light machinery, trailers, linkages, and general fastening assemblies where a removable or semi-permanent locking pin is required. The 7/64 inch diameter fits standard clevis and castle nut applications within that bore range. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of oxidation resistance appropriate for indoor or sheltered outdoor environments. These pins are sold individually but are packaged and priced for volume use, making them practical for shop stock and maintenance kits.

Key Features

• Extended prong style allows legs to be spread after insertion for a positive mechanical lock
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for light-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance in standard service conditions
• 7/64 inch diameter fits standard clevis pins and castle nut bore sizes in that range
• 1 inch usable length accommodates typical linkage and shaft assembly thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in general mechanical assemblies, linkage hardware, and fastening applications requiring a 7/64 inch diameter locking pin.

Installation Notes

Install using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin pliers to spread the prongs evenly after insertion through the bore. Always de-energize or immobilize the connected assembly before inserting or removing cotter pins from live linkage or rotating shaft applications. Single-use installation is recommended — a cotter pin that has been bent and straightened should be replaced rather than reused. Inspect the mating bore for wear or elongation before installing a new pin.
