Value Collection KP1874 Hair Pin Cotter Spring Steel 10-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP1874 is a hair pin cotter designed to secure shafts ranging from 0.5 inches to 0.75 inches in diameter. The pin measures 1.875 inches in length with a wire diameter of 0.125 inches. Manufactured from Grade 2 spring steel with a zinc-plated finish, it delivers reliable corrosion resistance and the spring tension needed to stay seated under vibration and load. Technicians across HVAC, plumbing, pool equipment, and general mechanical service use hair pin cotters to lock clevis pins, linkage rods, and shaft assemblies in place quickly without tools.

This cotter is suited for light-to-medium duty mechanical applications where fast, tool-free pin retention is required. Common install scenarios include fan linkage assemblies, damper actuator rods, pump shaft retention, and general equipment fastening on residential and light commercial systems. The zinc-plated finish provides adequate protection in indoor and moderately exposed environments. Sold in a pack of 10, this item suits technicians who stock a range of fasteners for field service calls.

Installation Notes

Hair pin cotters are installed and removed by hand or with standard needle-nose pliers. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any shaft or linkage assembly. Confirm the shaft diameter falls within the 0.5 inch to 0.75 inch range before installation to ensure the pin seats and retains correctly. Do not substitute a hair pin cotter for a load-bearing fastener in applications exceeding the design capacity of the pin.
