Value Collection 79529954 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 79529954 is an extended prong cotter pin used to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fastener connections in mechanical, industrial, and trade applications. It measures 5/32 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it provides reliable corrosion resistance and mechanical hold in moderate-load environments. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back firmly after insertion, locking the pin securely in place. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades use these pins for control linkages, damper assemblies, and shaft retention points.

This cotter pin is suited for light to moderate mechanical fastening tasks in both residential and commercial settings. Typical applications include securing clevis pin connections on control rods, linkage arms, and similar assemblies where a removable but locked fastener is required. The zinc plating provides added protection in environments with incidental moisture exposure. These pins are sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making them practical for service vehicles and shop stock where multiple replacements may be needed during a single service call.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by a variety of trades including HVAC technicians and millwrights working on mechanical linkages and shaft assemblies. Before installation, de-energize or lock out any equipment connected to the assembly being serviced. Insert the cotter pin through the aligned holes and spread the prongs to secure the connection. Use needle-nose pliers to bend the prongs cleanly without overstressing the pin material.
