Value Collection KP35016-1 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP35016-1 is an extended prong cotter pin used to secure clevis pins, shaft pins, and fasteners in a wide range of mechanical assemblies. It measures 0.125 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. The extended prong design allows the tines to be bent outward after insertion, locking the pin in place without additional hardware. This type of fastener is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors working on linkages, hydraulic cylinders, agricultural equipment, and general industrial machinery.

The KP35016-1 is suited for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical connections where a removable, positive-retention fastener is required. Typical applications include clevis and yoke pin retention, control linkage assemblies, and shaft locking in both indoor and outdoor environments. The zinc-plated finish provides a degree of protection against moisture and mild corrosive conditions, making it appropriate for general shop and field use.

Key Features

• Extended prong style allows tines to be spread after insertion for positive mechanical lock
• 0.125 inches diameter fits standard clevis and cotter pin holes in that size range
• 2.5 inches overall length provides adequate tail for bending on standard linkage assemblies
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable strength in light-duty to medium-duty applications
• Zinc-plated finish resists surface oxidation in moderate-exposure environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for general mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.125-inch diameter cotter pin with a 2.5-inch body length.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by maintenance technicians and mechanical trades using standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin pullers. Always de-energize and lockout any machinery before servicing pins in moving linkages or hydraulic assemblies. Insert the pin fully through the hole until the head seats, then spread the prongs outward to retain the assembly. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should not be straightened and reinstalled after removal.
