Value Collection CD553118 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CD553118 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, bolts, and fasteners in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 0.09375 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place and preventing loosening under vibration or dynamic load. This style of cotter pin is a standard fastening component used across industrial, maintenance, and trade applications wherever a reliable, removable locking solution is needed.

Extended prong cotter pins like the CD553118 are used in a wide range of assemblies including linkage systems, HVAC damper actuators, plumbing valve stems, pump components, and general mechanical equipment. They are suited for both light-duty and moderate-load applications where a pin must remain secured during operation but be removable for service. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor use.

Key Features

• Extended prong design bends back after insertion for a positive mechanical lock
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile and shear strength for general fastening
• Zinc-plated finish adds corrosion resistance for typical service environments
• 0.09375 inch diameter fits standard clevis pin and bolt hole sizes for this pin class
• 1.5 inch length accommodates a range of material thicknesses while leaving sufficient prong for bending
• Minimum order quantity of 100 units suits shop stock and maintenance inventory replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-size extended prong cotter pin suitable for use in any mechanical assembly requiring a 0.09375 inch diameter locking pin with a 1.5 inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires needle-nose pliers to spread and bend the prongs after the pin is fully seated through the hole. Ensure the mating pin or bolt hole is clear of debris before insertion. Always use a new cotter pin when reassembling after service — do not reuse a previously bent pin. Follow the applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and any relevant safety codes for the assembly being serviced.
