Value Collection 80122146 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 80122146 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for mechanical fastening applications where positive locking of clevis pins, shaft ends, and similar fasteners is required. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this cotter pin measures 0.125 inches in diameter and 0.75 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back securely after installation, providing reliable retention across a wide range of light to medium duty mechanical assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, and general maintenance technicians routinely specify this style of cotter pin for production and field repair work.

This cotter pin is suited for use in agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, automotive assemblies, HVAC linkage components, and general MRO applications where a low-cost, dependable mechanical lock is needed. The zinc-plated finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor and light outdoor service environments. The compact 0.75-inch length fits standard clevis and slotted fastener applications without excessive material overhang after bending.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in clevis pins, slotted fasteners, and shaft-end locking applications across general mechanical and MRO assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires inserting the cotter pin through the drilled hole of the mating fastener and then spreading the prongs apart to lock the pin in place. Use needle-nose pliers or a cotter pin tool to bend the prongs cleanly without cracking the material. Always de-energize and lock out any moving machinery before servicing fasteners in dynamic assemblies. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should not be reused once removed and straightened.
