Value Collection KP76234 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP76234 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fastener connections across a wide range of mechanical and industrial applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this cotter pin measures 0.0625 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after installation, locking the pin firmly in place and preventing back-out under vibration or dynamic load. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service rely on this type of fastener for dependable, low-cost retention.

This cotter pin is suited for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a small-diameter, corrosion-resistant retention fastener is required. Typical applications include linkage assemblies, clevis connections, and control rod terminations. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and moderately protected outdoor environments. Sold individually per package; minimum order quantity is 250 pieces.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks securely when legs are spread after insertion
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for light-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish resists oxidation in typical service environments
• 0.0625 inch diameter fits standard small-bore clevis and shaft pin holes
• 1.5 inch length accommodates a range of material thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical linkage, clevis, and shaft retention applications requiring a 0.0625 inch diameter fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tooling beyond needle-nose pliers to spread the prongs after insertion. Ensure the receiving hole diameter matches the pin diameter before driving the pin through. Always spread both prongs adequately to prevent the pin from backing out during service. Follow applicable mechanical assembly codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when used in safety-critical linkage applications.
