Value Collection 92243 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 5/32x2.5in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92243 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fastener connections in mechanical and structural applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this pin measures 5/32 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place and resisting vibration-induced backing out. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, pool equipment, and general mechanical service will find this pin suited to both indoor and outdoor environments where corrosion resistance is a priority.

This cotter pin is appropriate for residential and light commercial maintenance tasks where a reliable, reusable locking fastener is required. Typical applications include securing clevis pins on linkage rods, retaining shaft collars, and locking axle pins on equipment assemblies. The stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for wet or corrosive service environments such as pool equipment rooms, outdoor HVAC units, and plumbing installations exposed to moisture.

Key Features

• Extended prong configuration locks securely when prongs are spread after installation
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in wet or outdoor environments
• 5/32-inch diameter fits standard clevis and axle pin bore sizes for this pin class
• 2-1/2-inch length provides sufficient shank for most medium-depth fastener applications
• Uncoated finish with no plating to flake or delaminate over time

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/32-inch diameter locking fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools to spread the prongs after the pin is fully seated through the bore. Ensure the clevis or shaft pin is fully engaged before inserting the cotter pin. After spreading the prongs, confirm they are bent sufficiently to prevent the pin from backing out under load or vibration. Always de-energize or disable the associated equipment before servicing fastener assemblies.
