Value Collection KP35036-1 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP35036-1 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure fasteners, clevis pins, and shaft assemblies in mechanical and structural applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance, this pin measures 0.25 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back after insertion, locking the pin firmly in place and preventing unintended loosening under vibration or load. It is a standard hardware component installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, plumbers, and HVAC service professionals across a wide range of trade and industrial settings.

This cotter pin is suited for use in equipment linkages, valve stems, pump assemblies, and mechanical actuator connections where a reliable, removable locking fastener is required. The zinc plating provides a degree of protection against moisture and mild corrosive environments, making it appropriate for both indoor mechanical systems and lightly exposed outdoor equipment. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 25 units, making it practical for stocking in a parts inventory or service van.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks securely when prongs are bent after insertion
• Grade 2 steel construction provides dependable strength for standard mechanical applications
• Zinc-plated finish resists light corrosion and surface oxidation
• 0.25 inch diameter fits standard clevis and shaft pin holes
• 2.5 inch length accommodates a range of pin and shaft thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stocking cotter pin for mechanical linkages, valve assemblies, and fastener applications requiring a 0.25 inch diameter extended prong style pin.

Installation Notes

Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing fastener assemblies. Insert the cotter pin fully through the drilled hole in the shaft or clevis pin, then bend the prongs outward in opposite directions to lock it in position. Use pliers to ensure prongs are seated flat against the mating surface. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and any relevant mechanical codes when replacing fasteners in pressurized or load-bearing systems.
