Value Collection KP35021-1 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP35021-1 is a Grade 2 steel extended prong cotter pin with a zinc-plated finish, measuring 5/32 inches in diameter and 1-3/4 inches in length. Extended prong cotter pins are used to secure clevis pins, bolts, and fasteners in assemblies where a positive mechanical lock is required. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back tightly around a fastener for a secure hold. The zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance for light-duty service environments. This pin is a standard fastener component installed across mechanical, industrial, and maintenance trade applications.

This cotter pin suits general-purpose fastener locking in mechanical assemblies, light machinery, trailers, agricultural equipment, and maintenance repairs. The 5/32-inch diameter and 1-3/4-inch length make it appropriate for mid-range clevis and pin applications where a compact, reliable locking fastener is needed. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly install these as part of routine assembly or repair work across a wide range of equipment types.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows legs to wrap securely around fastener for positive mechanical retention
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for light-to-medium duty applications
• Zinc-plated finish offers baseline protection against surface corrosion
• 5/32-inch diameter fits standard clevis pin and bolt holes sized for this pin gauge
• 1-3/4-inch length accommodates typical fastener stack thicknesses in general mechanical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for general mechanical fastener assemblies requiring a 5/32-inch diameter locking pin with 1-3/4-inch length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools to spread and bend the prongs after insertion through the fastener hole. Always ensure the pin hole and pin diameter are properly matched before insertion to prevent pin deformation. Remove and replace cotter pins that have been previously bent — do not reuse a bent or deformed cotter pin. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before accessing pin-secured assemblies on mechanical or electrical systems.
