Value Collection 80122138 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 80122138 is a zinc-plated, extended prong cotter pin manufactured from Grade 2 steel. It measures 3/32 inches in diameter with a 2-inch usable length, making it a standard choice for securing clevis pins, castle nuts, and other fastener assemblies across a wide range of mechanical and industrial applications. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back more effectively after installation, locking the pin in place with greater retention than standard cotter pin styles. This part is handled by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and trade professionals working on mechanical assemblies that require reliable, low-cost pin retention.

This cotter pin is suited for use in light-duty mechanical assemblies found in HVAC equipment linkages, plumbing valve stems, electrical panel hardware, and general industrial machinery. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. It is appropriate for applications where a removable, positive-locking fastener is needed to prevent axial movement of a shaft or pin. Sold in a package quantity of 25 with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Extended prong design for improved leg spread and secure retention after installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light-duty mechanical fastening
• Zinc plating offers basic corrosion resistance in sheltered environments
• 3/32-inch diameter fits standard clevis pin and castle nut applications at this size range
• 2-inch usable length accommodates assemblies requiring longer pin engagement
• Package quantity of 25 supports both single-job use and bench stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin replacement for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/32-inch diameter, 2-inch length fastener.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical trade professionals using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Always ensure the receiving hole is clear and properly sized before inserting the pin. After insertion, bend the prongs apart firmly against the assembly surface to prevent backing out during operation. Never reuse a previously bent cotter pin, as straightening fatigues the steel and reduces retention reliability.
