Value Collection KP35033 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP35033 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure fasteners, clevis pins, and shaft assemblies against loosening or withdrawal. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 1 inch in usable length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place. Zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance suited to light-duty indoor and sheltered outdoor applications. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly install these pins during equipment assembly, agricultural machinery service, and general industrial repair work.

This cotter pin is suited for use in clevis and pin-type linkage assemblies, hitch connections, and shaft retention applications across light industrial, agricultural, and general mechanical environments. The extended prong configuration is particularly useful where extra bending clearance is needed after installation. Sold individually; the minimum order quantity is 50 pieces, making this appropriate for bin-stock and maintenance kits where repeated use is expected.

Key Features

• Extended prong style allows legs to spread easily for positive locking after insertion
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for light-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish adds corrosion resistance for sheltered and light-duty outdoor use
• 0.25-inch diameter fits standard clevis and cotter pin holes in that nominal size
• 1-inch usable length accommodates typical linkage and shaft retention applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in clevis pin assemblies, hitch linkages, and general mechanical shaft retention applications requiring a 0.25-inch diameter pin.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by a mechanic, millwright, or maintenance technician using needle-nose pliers or a cotter pin tool. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing pin-retained assemblies. Insert the pin fully through the hole, then bend the prongs apart in opposite directions to seat the pin securely. Never reuse a cotter pin that has been previously bent or removed, as fatigue may compromise retention.
