Value Collection 89817464 Hair Pin Cotter Zinc-plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 89817464 is a hair pin cotter designed to retain pins, shafts, and axles in mechanical assemblies. It fits shaft diameters from 0.25 inches to 0.5 inches and measures 1.625 inches in overall length with a wire diameter of 0.093 inches. Constructed from Grade 2 spring steel with a zinc-plated finish, it delivers reliable spring-back retention and corrosion resistance in light-duty fastening applications. This type of fastener is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, equipment assemblers, and field service professionals working on agricultural, HVAC, and general mechanical equipment where quick-release pin retention is required.

Hair pin cotters are used wherever a shaft or clevis pin must be secured without a threaded fastener. Typical applications include linkage assemblies, control rods, pivot pins, and equipment panels. The spring steel construction allows the cotter to be inserted and removed repeatedly without permanent deformation, making it well suited for components that require routine service access. This part is sold in a package quantity of ten, making it practical for stocking in a service van or shop.

Inspect the cotter for deformation before reuse and replace any unit that no longer springs back to its original shape. No special tools or certifications are required for installation.
