Value Collection 79529939 Cotter Pin 5/32 in X 1.5 in Zinc Pack 25

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 79529939 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure fasteners, clevis pins, and shaft assemblies in mechanical and structural applications. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it measures 5/32 inch in diameter and 1.5 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the prongs to be bent back over a fastener after installation, providing positive retention without the need for additional hardware. This pin is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general tradespeople working on equipment assemblies, linkages, and machinery.

The 79529939 cotter pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where a reliable, economical retention fastener is required. Typical applications include securing clevis pins on control linkages, retaining axle pins on trailers and agricultural equipment, and locking fastener assemblies on HVAC and mechanical systems. Each package contains 25 pins, making it practical for service trucks and shop inventories that require frequent replacements.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by inserting the pin through the bore of a clevis pin, axle pin, or slotted fastener, then bending the prongs apart or folding them back to lock the pin in place. Use needle-nose pliers to spread or fold the prongs after insertion. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should never be reused once removed and bent. Always ensure the pin diameter matches the bore size of the receiving component before installation.
