Value Collection 40925 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 0.125x2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40925 is a zinc-plated steel extended prong cotter pin designed to secure pins, bolts, and fasteners in place across a wide range of mechanical and industrial applications. Measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length, this cotter pin features extended prongs that spread easily after insertion to create a positive mechanical lock. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light outdoor service environments. Installation requires no special tooling beyond standard pliers and is typically a one-time-use fastener that is replaced during each service interval.

Extended prong cotter pins of this size are commonly used in HVAC equipment linkages, plumbing fixture assemblies, pump shaft retention, and general mechanical hardware applications where a low-profile, reliable locking fastener is needed. They are appropriate for both residential and light commercial service work. Installers working on clevis pins, hinge pins, and similar pivot hardware will find this a standard fit for typical 0.125-inch pin bores.

Key Features

• Extended prong design spreads after insertion to lock the pin firmly in place
• 0.125 inch diameter fits standard 0.125-inch bore applications
• 2-inch usable length accommodates a range of fastener depths
• Zinc-plated steel construction for general-purpose corrosion resistance
• Single-use fastener design — replace at each service interval for reliable retention

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin suitable for mechanical assemblies, linkages, and fastener retention applications requiring a 0.125-inch diameter pin.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by a mechanic or service technician using standard needle-nose pliers. Insert the pin fully through the bore until the head seats flush, then spread the prongs apart to lock the pin. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should be replaced — never reused — each time a joint is disassembled. Always ensure the receiving bore is clean and free of debris before installation.
