Value Collection 40939 Extended Prong Cotter Pin Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40939 is a zinc-plated steel extended prong cotter pin designed to secure fasteners, clevis pins, and shaft assemblies against axial movement. The extended prong design allows for easy bending and locking after installation, making it a reliable choice for mechanical and structural applications where vibration resistance is needed. This pin measures 3/16 inches in diameter and 1-1/2 inches in length. It is manufactured from steel with a zinc plating finish that provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for general service environments.

This cotter pin is suited for use in light mechanical assemblies, agricultural equipment linkages, trailer hitch connections, and general industrial fastening applications. Its extended prong configuration makes it appropriate for installations where the prong must be bent back securely over a shaft or through a clevis. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and general tradespeople commonly install this type of hardware during equipment assembly and repair work.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows secure post-installation bending and locking
• 3/16 inch diameter suits standard clevis pins and drilled shaft holes of matching size
• 1-1/2 inch length accommodates assemblies with moderate material thickness
• Zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance in general indoor and light outdoor service
• Steel material offers strength and reliability under mechanical vibration loads

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in general mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16 inch diameter cotter pin with a 1-1/2 inch length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the pin through the drilled hole of a shaft or clevis pin, then bending the extended prongs outward to secure the assembly. Ensure the receiving hole diameter matches the pin diameter before installation. Always de-energize or lock out any mechanical system before working on fastener assemblies. Single-use application is standard practice — remove and replace the cotter pin if the assembly is disassembled.
