Value Collection KP35035-1 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP35035-1 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for securing clevis pins, bolts, and fasteners in mechanical assemblies. Measuring 0.25 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable 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 firmly after installation, locking the fastener in place and preventing withdrawal under vibration or load. This type of cotter pin is installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general tradespeople across a wide range of industrial and mechanical service applications.

Extended prong cotter pins of this size are used in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies including linkages, agricultural equipment, trailers, HVAC damper linkages, and general fabrication. The 0.25-inch diameter and 2-inch length make this pin suitable for applications where a positive, tamper-evident mechanical lock is required on a clevis or castellated nut. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 25 units, this pin is well-suited for shop stock or field service kits where consistent fastener inventory is needed.

Key Features

• Extended prong style allows legs to be spread and bent for a secure, vibration-resistant lock
• Grade 2 steel construction provides adequate strength for light to medium mechanical duty
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion protection in dry or mildly exposed environments
• 0.25-inch diameter fits standard clevis pins and castellated nut applications of corresponding bore size
• 2-inch usable length accommodates assemblies with moderate fastener stack thickness

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock cotter pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.25-inch diameter extended prong cotter pin with a 2-inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by inserting the pin through the bore of a clevis pin or castellated nut slot, then bending the prongs apart to lock the assembly. Always de-energize, depressurize, or mechanically isolate the equipment before servicing fasteners. Use needle-nose pliers to spread and seat the prongs fully. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners and should not be reused after removal.
