Value Collection 42526 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 2mm X 25mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42526 is a zinc-plated, extended prong cotter pin constructed from Grade 2 steel. Cotter pins of this type are used to secure clevis pins, castle nuts, and other fasteners in mechanical assemblies, preventing axial movement under vibration or load. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place. At 2mm in diameter and 25mm in usable length, this pin suits small-to-medium fastening applications across a wide range of industries. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for general-purpose use.

This cotter pin is suited for mechanical, agricultural, automotive, and industrial maintenance applications where a compact, reliable locking fastener is required. Technicians and maintenance professionals use extended prong cotter pins in linkage assemblies, hydraulic cylinder clevis connections, and general equipment service work. The 2mm diameter and 25mm length target smaller pin-and-clevis pairings common in light machinery and control linkages.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows legs to be bent outward for a secure mechanical lock after installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for general-purpose fastening
• Zinc plating offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor environments
• 2mm diameter fits small clevis pins, castle nuts, and slotted fastener applications
• 25mm usable length accommodates standard pin-and-clevis assembly depths

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin compatible with clevis pins, castle nuts, and slotted fasteners accepting a 2mm cotter pin diameter.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by mechanics and maintenance technicians using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin pullers. Always de-energize, depressurize, or otherwise make safe any assembly before servicing fasteners under load. Insert the pin through the aligned hole and spread the prongs to at least 90 degrees to prevent backing out. Single-use components — never reinstall a previously bent cotter pin.
