Value Collection 80122104 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 75-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 80122104 is a Grade 2 steel extended prong cotter pin with a zinc-plated finish, measuring 3/32 inches in diameter and 3/4 inches in length. Extended prong cotter pins are used to secure clevis pins, shaft ends, and fasteners in place by bending the prongs after insertion. The zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in light-duty service environments. This package contains 75 pins, making it a practical supply for maintenance technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals who use cotter pins regularly in mechanical assemblies.

Extended prong cotter pins in this size are commonly used in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a small-diameter retaining fastener is required. Typical applications include securing clevis pins on linkages, retaining axle pins on carts and equipment, and locking castle or slotted nuts on threaded shafts. The 3/32-inch diameter and 3/4-inch length suit compact assemblies where standard or hammerlock styles may not fit.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by a mechanic, maintenance technician, or trade professional after inserting through the drilled hole of a pin or fastener. Always fully insert the cotter pin before bending the prongs apart to secure it. Use needle-nose pliers to spread the prongs evenly. Remove and replace cotter pins rather than reusing bent pins, as reuse can compromise retention.
