Value Collection 79529905 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 79529905 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for mechanical fastening applications where positive locking retention is required. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this cotter pin measures 0.125 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length. The extended prong design allows for easy bending after installation, providing reliable hold in clevis pins, bolts, and similar through-hole fastener assemblies. Zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance in light-duty environments. This pin is a staple in mechanical, agricultural, industrial, and HVAC equipment maintenance kits.

Extended prong cotter pins like the 79529905 are used across a wide range of mechanical assemblies including linkage rods, clevis connections, pivot pins, and control arm fasteners. Suitable for residential and light commercial equipment maintenance, these pins are commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals when servicing damper linkages, valve actuators, and mechanical drive components. The 0.125 inch diameter fits standard through-hole fastener applications in that bore size class.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows bending after insertion for positive mechanical lock
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable strength in standard-duty applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides light corrosion resistance
• 0.125 inches diameter x 2 inches usable length for common through-hole fastener applications
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 for shop or service van stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for general mechanical fastening applications requiring a 0.125 inch diameter pin with a 2 inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by general maintenance technicians and trade professionals using standard hand tools. Always de-energize or shut down the associated equipment before servicing any fastener assembly. Insert the pin fully through the bore so both prongs clear the exit side, then bend the prongs outward in opposite directions to secure. Do not reuse cotter pins once removed, as repeated bending compromises structural integrity.
