Value Collection MP38231 Hammerlock Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP38231 is a hammerlock cotter pin designed for fastening and locking applications across mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and general trade assemblies. Measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches in length, this pin is fabricated from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in light-duty service environments. The hammerlock design allows the pin to be driven into place and locked without additional hardware, making installation fast in repetitive or production-style applications. Trade professionals use this type of cotter pin for securing clevis pins, linkage rods, and other mechanical fasteners in equipment panels, damper actuators, and valve assemblies.

This cotter pin suits light-duty mechanical fastening tasks in residential and light commercial equipment. Common install scenarios include securing linkage pins in HVAC damper assemblies, pool and irrigation equipment, and general mechanical subassemblies where a low-profile, self-locking pin retainer is required. The zinc-plated finish is suited for dry or mildly humid indoor environments. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 units, making it appropriate for shop stock or service van inventory where frequent replacement of small fasteners is expected.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-size hammerlock cotter pin for use in mechanical linkage, damper, and fastening assemblies that accept a 0.125-inch diameter cotter pin.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or trade professionals as part of mechanical assembly or field repair work. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing linkage or fastener assemblies. Drive the hammerlock pin through the mating hole using a suitable punch or pin driver, and confirm full seating before returning equipment to service. Inspect the pin during scheduled maintenance intervals and replace if deformation or corrosion is observed.
