Value Collection KP35001 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP35001 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fasteners in mechanical, hydraulic, and general industrial applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this pin measures 0.0625 inches in diameter and 0.75 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after installation to lock the pin firmly in place, preventing backing out under vibration or load. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance trades use cotter pins like this one in linkage assemblies, control arms, and panel fastening applications.

This cotter pin is suited for light-duty fastening tasks where a small-diameter, short-length pin is required. Typical uses include securing clevis pins on HVAC damper linkages, locking shaft retainers on pumps or valve actuators, and general mechanical assembly work in both residential and commercial settings. The zinc plating provides modest protection against moisture exposure in indoor or mildly humid environments.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks securely when legs are bent after installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for light-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in indoor and low-moisture environments
• Compact size — 0.0625 inches diameter by 0.75 inches long — fits tight clearance applications
• Sold individually; minimum order quantity of 500 units makes this suitable for shop stock or bulk maintenance supply

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for light-duty mechanical fastening applications requiring a 0.0625-inch diameter pin.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond needle-nose pliers to bend the prongs after insertion. Always insert the pin through a properly sized hole in the mating fastener and bend both prongs outward to secure. De-energize or shut down any equipment before servicing linkages or assemblies where this pin is used. Follow applicable mechanical and safety codes for the equipment being serviced.
