Value Collection 79529988 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 79529988 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, bolts, and shaft assemblies in mechanical and structural applications. Measuring 3/16 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length, this pin is fabricated from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in light-duty service environments. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place. Installation and removal require only basic hand tools, making this a straightforward fastener for field and shop use alike. Sold in a package quantity of 25.

This cotter pin is suited for a wide range of mechanical assembly and maintenance tasks including linkage connections, agricultural equipment, trailers, HVAC damper linkages, and general industrial machinery. The zinc-plated finish makes it appropriate for dry or mildly humid indoor environments. Technicians and mechanics working on control linkages, clevis rod ends, and pivot pins will find the extended prong style easier to secure and remove compared to standard hammer-lock or loop types.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks securely after bending and allows straightforward removal during service
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light to medium mechanical duty
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic protection against oxidation in non-immersion environments
• 3/16 inch diameter fits standard clevis and pin-and-hole assemblies of corresponding bore size
• 2 inch usable length accommodates a range of assembly thicknesses
• Package of 25 supports shop stock and repeat service applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin suitable for use wherever a 3/16 inch diameter, 2 inch usable length cotter pin is specified in mechanical assemblies, linkage systems, and equipment maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins should be installed by a qualified mechanic or technician familiar with the host assembly. Depressurize or de-energize any system before accessing the pin location. Insert the pin fully through the hole so the head seats flush, then bend the prongs outward to a minimum 90-degree angle to prevent backing out. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should not be straightened and reused after removal.
