Value Collection 40917 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 7/64 X 1-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40917 is an extended prong cotter pin manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It measures 7/64 inches in diameter and 1-3/4 inches in length. Extended prong cotter pins are used to secure clevis pins, shafts, and fasteners in assemblies where positive retention is required. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. This pin is a standard hardware item installed by mechanical technicians, HVAC service pros, and maintenance personnel across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications.

This cotter pin suits general-purpose fastening tasks in HVAC equipment, plumbing assemblies, light machinery, and other mechanical systems requiring a reliable split-pin retention solution. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back securely after installation, preventing the pin from backing out under vibration or movement. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it practical for shops and service technicians who stock standard hardware.

Key Features

• Extended prong style for secure leg bend-back after installation
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable mechanical strength
• Zinc-plated finish for moderate corrosion resistance
• 7/64 inch diameter fits standard clevis and shaft pin holes
• 1-3/4 inch length accommodates typical fastener stack thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stocking cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment linkages, plumbing fixtures, and light industrial machinery requiring a 7/64 inch diameter extended prong cotter pin.

Installation Notes

Installation requires needle-nose pliers to spread and bend the prongs after insertion through the pin hole. Always power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing fasteners in mechanical assemblies. Ensure the pin hole diameter matches the 7/64 inch nominal pin diameter before installation. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should not be reused once removed and straightened.
