Value Collection 79529913 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 79529913 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shafts, and fasteners in mechanical assemblies. Measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in standard service environments. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back over the secured component after installation, creating a positive lock that prevents pin migration or withdrawal during operation. This is a utility-grade fastener suited for general mechanical, HVAC linkage, and equipment maintenance applications.

This cotter pin is well suited for residential and light commercial maintenance tasks where a reliable, low-cost fastener is needed to retain components on shafts or clevis linkages. Common applications include securing damper linkage rods, control arm pins, and similar pivot points found in HVAC equipment, plumbing assemblies, and general mechanical systems. The package contains 25 pins per unit, making it practical for shop stock or field service kits where replacements are frequently needed.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin for use in standard 0.125 inch pin-bore applications across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond needle-nose pliers to spread the prongs after the pin is seated through the bore. Always insert the pin fully through the hole before bending the prongs to avoid stress cracking at the eye. Remove the existing pin and inspect the bore for wear or deformation before installing the replacement. De-energize or depressurize any associated equipment before working on linkage or shaft assemblies.
