Measuring 2.5mm in diameter and 40mm in usable length (approximately 0.098 inches in diameter and 1.575 inches in length), this fastener is designed to secure pins, bolts, and shafts in mechanical assemblies. The extended prong design allows for easy bending after installation, locking the pin firmly in place. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical tradespeople use cotter pins like this one across a wide range of equipment and panel assembly applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cotter pin is suited for use in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where a reliable, low-profile locking fastener is required. Typical applications include securing clevis pins, hinge pins, and axle shafts in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, plumbing valve linkages, and general industrial machinery. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of rust resistance appropriate for indoor and sheltered environments. This pin is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtended prong design allows bending after insertion for secure mechanical locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for light to medium-duty fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5mm diameter and 40mm usable length fit standard clevis and hinge pin applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimum order quantity of 100 units suits bulk service and maintenance stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in general mechanical assemblies requiring a 2.5mm diameter fastener with a 40mm usable length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotter pins are installed by a qualified mechanical technician or tradesperson. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before accessing mechanical assemblies. Insert the pin through the aligned holes, then bend the prongs outward using needle-nose pliers to secure the fastener. Do not reuse a cotter pin once it has been bent and removed, as repeated bending compromises the material integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extended Prong\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5mm (approximately 0.098 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUsable Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40mm (approximately 1.575 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2 Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31163204\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: CD550531\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51722726670642,"sku":"CD550531","price":18.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/216c1fb86eaaf7e12600da8b7df9e6ff.jpg?v=1788595032","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-cd550531-extended-prong-cotter-pin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
