Value Collection 42515 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42515 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for mechanical fastening applications where a secure, removable locking solution is required. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin provides corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and maintenance environments. The extended prong design allows for easy bending and locking after insertion, securing clevis pins, shafts, and other fasteners in place. This pin is a standard item for maintenance mechanics, millwrights, and general trade professionals working on machinery, equipment linkages, and assembly applications.

The 42515 extended prong cotter pin is used across a wide range of light-duty mechanical assemblies including agricultural equipment, HVAC linkages, plumbing valve actuators, and general mechanical controls. Its small diameter makes it appropriate for applications with tight clearances. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion protection suitable for indoor and moderate-exposure installations. This pin is sold individually per package at a minimum order quantity of 200 units, making it well suited for shop stock, maintenance kits, and production line applications.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows prongs to be bent down easily for secure locking after installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for light-duty fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance for general-use environments
• Compact 1.6mm diameter fits tight clearance applications
• 20mm usable length accommodates a range of standard fastening configurations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for general mechanical fastening applications requiring a 1.6mm diameter pin with a 20mm usable length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the pin through the hole in a shaft or clevis pin, then bending the prongs outward to lock it in place. Always de-energize or lock out equipment before servicing fasteners in moving assemblies. Use appropriate pliers to bend prongs without damaging the pin body. Inspect the pin for deformation or corrosion before reuse, and replace with a new pin if any damage is present.
