Value Collection 42524 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 2mm X 22mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42524 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where a secure, removable fastening method is required. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this cotter pin measures 2mm in diameter with a 22mm usable length. The extended prong style allows for easy spreading after installation, locking the pin securely in place. It is a standard hardware component installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and general mechanical tradespeople across a wide range of industrial and light-duty applications.

This cotter pin is suited for use in clevis assemblies, linkage pins, axle retainers, and other mechanical fastening points where a drilled through-hole accepts a cotter pin for retention. Its compact 2mm diameter makes it appropriate for small-bore applications in equipment maintenance, agricultural machinery, and general mechanical assemblies. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for light indoor and outdoor service environments.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows for secure spreading after installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for light-duty retention
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance
• 2mm diameter suits small-bore drilled pin holes
• 22mm usable length accommodates standard light-duty fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 2mm diameter cotter pin with a 22mm usable length.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by maintenance technicians and machinists using standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any mechanical assembly. Insert the pin fully through the drilled hole, then spread the prongs to secure. Do not reuse a previously bent cotter pin, as the metal may be fatigued.
