Value Collection 80122096 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 80122096 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fasteners in light-duty mechanical applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it measures 0.0625 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back tightly against a mating surface after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place. This style of cotter pin is a standard consumable used by mechanics, millwrights, equipment technicians, and maintenance personnel across a wide range of industries where positive pin retention is required.

This cotter pin is suited for residential and commercial maintenance environments, agricultural equipment, light industrial machinery, and general mechanical assemblies where a non-threaded, single-use locking fastener is needed. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for dry or mildly humid service conditions. The 2-inch usable length accommodates a range of clevis and axle pin diameters commonly found in linkage assemblies, control rods, and anchor points. Packaged in a quantity of 75 per pack, this SKU is practical for shops and field technicians who consume cotter pins regularly.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are a single-use fastener and should not be reused once removed and unbent. Always de-energize, lower, or block any assembly under load before removing or installing cotter pins. Use needle-nose pliers or cotter pin pliers to spread and bend the prongs flat against the mating surface after insertion. Dispose of removed pins and install new stock to maintain proper retention.
