It measures 7\/64 inch in diameter with a 2-inch usable length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place and preventing backed-out or vibration-loosened fasteners. This type of cotter pin is a standard hardware item used by maintenance technicians, millwrights, plumbers, and HVAC service professionals when assembling or servicing mechanical linkages and threaded rod assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtended prong cotter pins are used across a wide range of light-duty mechanical applications including linkage rods, valve stems, clevis assemblies, and pivot pins. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. These pins are commonly stocked in trade service vans, equipment rooms, and shop bins where quick fastener replacement is part of routine maintenance work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended prong design locks securely when prongs are bent after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides reliable shear resistance for light mechanical duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish adds basic corrosion protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/64 inch diameter fits standard clevis and axle pin hole tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-inch usable length accommodates a range of pin depths and assembly thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in light mechanical assemblies requiring a 7\/64-inch diameter fastener with a 2-inch usable length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires no special tools beyond standard needle-nose pliers to spread and bend the prongs after insertion. Ensure the receiving hole is clear of burrs and debris before inserting the pin. Always replace a cotter pin once removed — cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should never be reinserted after the prongs have been bent. Discard any pins that show deformation, corrosion, or cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 7\/64 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsable Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2 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\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 40918\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698449285426,"sku":"40918","price":24.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5290c5ea0836f2744f64f33e41a62f95.jpg?v=1788363022","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-40918-extended-prong-cotter-pin-7-64x2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
