Value Collection KP35019 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP35019 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for securing fasteners, clevis pins, and shaft assemblies in mechanical, industrial, and maintenance applications. Measuring 5/32 inch in diameter and 1-1/4 inches in length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back securely after installation, locking components in place and preventing axial movement. Electricians, millwrights, general maintenance technicians, and assembly workers commonly use cotter pins of this type in both shop and field settings.

This cotter pin is suited for light-duty to medium-duty fastening tasks where a positive locking method is required. Typical applications include securing castle nuts on threaded rod assemblies, retaining clevis pins in linkage systems, and locking shaft components on agricultural equipment, trailers, pumps, and general machinery. The zinc plating provides adequate protection in dry to mildly humid indoor environments. This pin is sold individually but is subject to a minimum order quantity of 250 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Extended prong style allows legs to splay wide for a secure mechanical lock after installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for light-duty to medium-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in indoor and dry environments
• 5/32 inch diameter fits standard clevis pins and castle nut applications of the same bore size
• 1-1/4 inch length accommodates typical shaft and pin thicknesses in general mechanical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style replacement or stock cotter pin for general mechanical, agricultural, trailer, and industrial fastening applications requiring a 5/32 inch diameter extended prong pin.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by a mechanic, millwright, or maintenance technician after inserting through the drilled hole of the mating pin or bolt. Once fully seated, the prongs are bent in opposite directions using needle-nose pliers to lock the pin in place. Always replace a cotter pin with a new one rather than reusing a previously bent pin. Refer to applicable equipment service manuals for correct pin diameter and length specifications for each joint or assembly point.
