Value Collection 40923 Extended Prong Cotter Pin Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40923 is a zinc-plated steel extended prong cotter pin used to secure fasteners, pins, and clevis assemblies in mechanical, structural, and light industrial applications. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after installation, locking the pin firmly in place and preventing withdrawal under vibration or load. At 0.125 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in length, this pin fits a wide range of standard-bore applications. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general tradespeople keep these on hand for routine fastener lockout tasks. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor use.

This cotter pin is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial mechanical assemblies where a reliable, removable locking fastener is needed. Common applications include securing clevis pins in linkage assemblies, locking castle nuts on axles and steering components, and retaining shaft pins in agricultural or HVAC equipment. The extended prong configuration gives additional leverage when bending the legs, making installation faster in tight clearance situations. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it practical for shop stock and service van inventory.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks securely when legs are spread after installation
• Zinc-plated steel construction provides basic corrosion resistance
• 0.125-inch diameter fits standard clevis pin and castle nut bore sizes
• 1.5-inch length accommodates a range of fastener thicknesses
• Suitable for mechanical linkage, shaft retention, and nut-locking applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.125-inch diameter locking pin fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with needle-nose pliers. Insert the pin through the aligned bore hole until the head seats flush, then spread the prongs apart to lock. Always ensure the mating hole is clean and free of burrs before insertion. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should be replaced rather than re-bent during reassembly.
