Value Collection 80122112 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 75 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 80122112 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for mechanical fastening applications where a positive, tamper-resistant lock is needed on clevis pins, shaft pins, and similar fasteners. Measuring 3/32 inch in diameter and 1 inch in usable length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides baseline corrosion resistance in general-duty environments. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, securing the pin firmly in place without additional hardware. This package contains 75 pins, making it suitable for stocking purposes on jobsites or in maintenance shops.

Extended prong cotter pins of this size are commonly used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, agricultural equipment linkages, trailer and towing hardware, HVAC equipment linkages, and general industrial maintenance tasks. They are installed by technicians and maintenance professionals across a wide range of trades where securing a drilled-hole pin or bolt is required. The 3/32-inch diameter fits small-bore applications where standard larger cotter pins would be oversized.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks firmly when prongs are spread after insertion
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for light-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in dry and mildly humid environments
• 3/32 inch diameter suits small-bore pin and bolt holes
• 1 inch usable length accommodates standard light-duty clevis and shaft assemblies
• 75-pin package quantity supports bulk stocking for service and maintenance operations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for general mechanical fastening applications requiring a 3/32-inch diameter pin in drilled-hole assemblies.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical tradespeople using standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Always remove and replace a cotter pin rather than reusing a previously bent pin, as rebending weakens the material. Ensure the receiving hole diameter is sized appropriately for a 3/32-inch pin before installation. Spread the prongs evenly after insertion to distribute load and prevent premature removal.
