Value Collection 40928 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40928 is an extended prong cotter pin used to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fastener connections in mechanical and industrial applications. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it measures 5/32 inches in diameter and 3/4 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back tightly after insertion, providing positive retention in high-vibration environments. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general trade workers install these as standard locking fasteners wherever a removable, positive-retention pin is required.

This cotter pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, linkage systems, and clevis connections found in HVAC equipment, plumbing fixture hardware, and general industrial machinery. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it practical to stock as a consumable shop fastener.

Key Features

• Extended prong design for secure post-installation leg bending and positive retention
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable performance in light-duty mechanical assemblies
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance

• Stocked as a consumable fastener with a minimum order quantity of 100 units

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in clevis pin assemblies, linkage connections, and shaft retention applications across general mechanical and industrial equipment.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by inserting the pin through a drilled hole in a shaft or clevis pin and bending the prongs apart to lock the assembly in place. Always de-energize and relieve any load on the assembly before removing or replacing a cotter pin. Use needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools to bend the prongs — avoid sharp bends that could crack the pin. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should be replaced, not reused, once removed.
