Value Collection 79530002 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 15-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 79530002 is an extended prong cotter pin used to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fasteners in mechanical, plumbing, and general industrial applications. Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back over the work piece for a positive lock. This SKU ships in a pack of 15 pins, making it practical for service technicians and tradespeople who need on-hand stock for routine maintenance work.

Extended prong cotter pins in this size range are commonly used in HVAC linkage assemblies, plumbing valve stems, pump mounting hardware, and general mechanical fastening tasks. They are suited for both residential and light commercial service environments where a reliable, low-cost locking fastener is needed. The 0.25-inch diameter fits standard clevis pins and hitch pins of the corresponding bore size frequently encountered in trade service work.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies, linkage hardware, and fastening applications requiring a 0.25-inch diameter pin.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are typically installed by mechanics, HVAC technicians, and plumbers using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Always relieve any load or pressure on the assembly before removing or installing a cotter pin. Insert the pin fully through the bore so the eye seats flush against the component, then spread the prongs to the recommended angle to prevent back-out. Never reuse a removed cotter pin, as repeated bending degrades the metal and can lead to fastener failure.
