Value Collection 40920 Extended Prong Cotter Pin Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40920 is a steel extended prong cotter pin with a zinc-plated finish, designed for use in mechanical fastening and retention applications across a wide range of industries. Measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 0.75 inches in length, this cotter pin features an extended prong design that allows the prongs to be bent around a shaft or clevis after installation, locking connected components securely in place. It is installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general tradespeople wherever a low-cost, reliable mechanical locking fastener is needed.

Extended prong cotter pins are a standard fastening solution in HVAC equipment, plumbing assemblies, agricultural machinery, and general industrial applications. The extended prong geometry provides additional material for bending, making this pin suitable for applications where standard cotter pins offer insufficient prong length for secure retention. This pin ships individually and is available with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for stocking in service vans, maintenance facilities, or supply rooms.

Key Features

• Extended prong design provides extra prong length for secure post-installation bending
• Steel construction delivers reliable tensile strength for mechanical retention applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in standard service environments
• Compact 0.125 inch diameter and 0.75 inch length suits tight clearance installations
• Minimum order quantity of 100 units supports bulk stocking for high-volume service work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin replacement suitable for general mechanical fastening and component retention applications where a 0.125-inch diameter by 0.75-inch long cotter pin is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with needle-nose pliers. Before servicing any assembly, relieve all mechanical loads and de-energize or shut down connected equipment per applicable safety procedures. Insert the pin through the aligned hole and shaft, then bend the prongs outward to secure. Do not reuse a previously installed or deformed cotter pin.
