Value Collection 79529897 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 79529897 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for mechanical fastening applications where secure, removable retention of shafts, pins, and clevis assemblies is required. Measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in length, this cotter pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in indoor and light-duty outdoor environments. The extended prong design allows for easier bending after insertion, ensuring a reliable lock on the retained component. Sold in a package of 25 pieces, this pin suits high-volume maintenance and repair workflows.

Extended prong cotter pins are used across a wide range of industrial, mechanical, and equipment maintenance scenarios. Common applications include securing castle nuts on clevis pins, retaining axle and linkage components, and locking fasteners in agricultural, automotive, and general manufacturing equipment. The 0.125-inch diameter and 1.5-inch length suit medium-duty fastening points found in light mechanical assemblies and service equipment.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin suitable for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.125-inch diameter cotter pin of 1.5-inch length.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers using standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Always ensure the shaft or clevis pin hole is clean and properly sized before insertion. After passing the pin through the hole, spread the prongs to lock the pin in place — do not reuse a previously bent cotter pin, as metal fatigue reduces retention reliability. Depressurize or de-energize any associated mechanical or hydraulic system before servicing retained components.
