Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 0.125 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place and preventing axial movement. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance professionals routinely use cotter pins as a low-cost, reliable retention solution in equipment assemblies and control linkages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cotter pin is suited for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical applications across residential and commercial settings. Typical uses include securing clevis pins on HVAC damper linkages, plumbing valve assemblies, electrical panel brackets, and general equipment maintenance where a quick, positive locking fastener is required. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for indoor installations and moderately protected environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended prong configuration locks securely when legs are spread after insertion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for light-duty to medium-duty fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.125-inch diameter fits standard clevis and shaft pin holes in common equipment assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.5-inch length accommodates a range of material thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard extended prong cotter pin suitable for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.125-inch diameter retention fastener.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires no special tools beyond standard needle-nose pliers used to spread the prongs after insertion. Ensure the host pin hole is clear of debris and that the cotter pin passes fully through before bending the prongs. Always power down or de-energize the associated equipment before servicing any mechanical linkage or assembly. Spread the prongs at least 15 to 30 degrees apart to ensure the pin cannot back out under vibration or load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extended Prong Cotter Pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 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\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: CD553130\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51719093911858,"sku":"CD553130","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/97a226292061a449e59a7d6cec47948d.jpg?v=1788557400","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-cd553130-extended-prong-cotter-pin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
