Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 3 inches in usable length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides corrosion resistance in moderate service environments. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, creating a positive lock that resists vibration-induced loosening. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance mechanics commonly use cotter pins as retention hardware in equipment linkages, valve assemblies, and bracket mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cotter pin is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical applications where a reliable, reusable retention fastener is required. Typical installation scenarios include securing clevis pins in actuator linkages, retaining axles in mechanical equipment, and locking castle or slotted nuts on threaded rod assemblies. The zinc-plated finish makes it appropriate for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments where light moisture exposure is possible. Each package contains 15 pins, making it practical for service trucks and shop inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtended prong design locks securely when legs are spread after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for general mechanical retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish resists corrosion in moderate service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.25 inch diameter and 3 inch usable length suits a wide range of clevis and shaft applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackaged in quantities of 15 for convenient shop or field stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin suitable for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.25 inch diameter retention fastener with a 3 inch usable length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by passing the pin through a drilled hole in the shaft or pin being retained, then bending the prongs apart using needle-nose pliers to lock the pin in place. Always ensure the hole diameter is compatible with the pin diameter before insertion to avoid a loose fit. Depressurize or de-energize any assembly before servicing fasteners in pressurized or powered linkages. Single-use practice is recommended in critical applications, as repeated bending of the prongs can weaken the pin material over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extended Prong\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsable Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2 Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80122070\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51703158276402,"sku":"80122070","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1a48bd26a859dfcedd594b569837d66a.jpg?v=1788415125","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-80122070-extended-prong-cotter-pin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
