Value Collection KP35022-1 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP35022-1 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fastener connections in a wide range of mechanical and industrial applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 5/32 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length. The extended prong design allows for positive locking after installation by spreading the prongs outward, holding the pin firmly in place under vibration and load. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance trades rely on this type of hardware for securing linkage rods, valve stems, and panel assemblies.

This cotter pin is suited for light-duty to moderate mechanical assemblies in residential and commercial settings. Typical applications include HVAC damper linkages, plumbing actuator arms, electrical panel latches, and general equipment maintenance. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 50 units, making it appropriate for shop stock or service van inventory replenishment.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks positively after installation by spreading prongs to resist pull-out

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/32 inches diameter pin with a 2 inches usable length, including HVAC linkage hardware, plumbing actuator arms, and general industrial fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the pin through the aligned hole in the shaft or clevis, then bending the prongs outward in opposite directions to lock the pin in place. Use needle-nose pliers to spread and fold the prongs cleanly without cracking the pin. Always de-energize or shut off the associated system before servicing any linkage or actuator connection. Worn or previously bent cotter pins should never be reused.
