Value Collection 79529921 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 79529921 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fastener linkages in mechanical and industrial applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 5/32 inches in diameter and 1 inch in usable length. The extended prong design allows for easy bending and positive locking after installation. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical tradespeople routinely use cotter pins of this type to retain components in low-to-moderate load assemblies where vibration or axial movement could otherwise cause fastener migration.

This extended prong cotter pin is suited for use in residential and light commercial mechanical systems, including linkage arms, valve stems, control rods, and clevis connections. The zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. Sold in a package quantity of 25, this pin is a practical stocking item for service vans and shop inventory where small hardware needs to be on hand for routine repairs and installations.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin replacement suitable for clevis pins, linkage rods, and shaft retention applications requiring a 5/32-inch pin diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians, HVAC installers, or plumbers as part of a larger assembly task. Ensure the mating clevis pin or shaft hole diameter is compatible with the 5/32-inch pin diameter before insertion. Insert the cotter pin fully through the hole, then bend the prongs apart to lock it in place using needle-nose pliers. Never reuse a previously bent cotter pin, as metal fatigue can compromise the lock.
