Value Collection KP35013 Extended Prong Cotter Pin 250 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP35013 is a Grade 2 steel extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fastener connections across a wide range of mechanical applications. Measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in length, this pin features a zinc-plated finish that provides corrosion resistance in light-duty service environments. The extended prong style allows the tines to be bent back firmly around a mating component, locking the assembly in place without additional hardware. Sold in packs of 250, this SKU suits shop stock, maintenance carts, and job-site kits where cotter pins are consumed in volume.

Extended prong cotter pins at this diameter and length are commonly used in HVAC linkage assemblies, plumbing bracket hardware, pool equipment mounting, and general mechanical maintenance. The 0.125-inch body fits standard drilled-hole shaft applications where a positive retention device is required to prevent axial movement of a pin or bolt. These are appropriate for both residential and light commercial equipment service work wherever a Grade 2 steel, zinc-plated fastener meets the load and environmental requirements of the application.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows tines to wrap securely around mating components for positive locking
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable shear strength for light-duty mechanical retention
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance in typical indoor and sheltered outdoor environments
• 0.125-inch body diameter fits standard drilled-hole shaft sizes common in HVAC, plumbing, and pool equipment
• Pack quantity of 250 supports bulk stocking for high-frequency maintenance and service operations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin suitable for drilled-hole shaft assemblies in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and pool equipment applications where a 0.125-inch diameter, 1.5-inch long Grade 2 steel pin meets design requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond standard needle-nose pliers to spread and bend the prong tines after insertion. Always de-energize or shut off the equipment and relieve any stored mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic pressure before replacing cotter pins in service assemblies. Insert the pin fully through the drilled hole until the head seats flush, then bend each prong in opposite directions to lock the pin in place. Never reuse a previously bent cotter pin, as repeated deformation reduces retention reliability.
