Value Collection MP38233 Hammerlock Cotter Pin Zinc Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP38233 is a zinc-plated steel hammerlock cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, hitch pins, and similar fasteners in mechanical assemblies. Measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length, this cotter pin installs by threading through a drilled hole and locking into place with a hammerlock design that resists backing out under vibration. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for light-duty indoor and outdoor applications. Maintenance mechanics, millwrights, and general contractors commonly use this style of pin in linkage assemblies, agricultural equipment, and HVAC or plumbing support hardware.

This cotter pin is suited for light to medium mechanical assemblies where a secure, removable locking fastener is required. Typical applications include control linkages, clevis connections, bracket assemblies, and equipment access panels. The hammerlock style allows faster installation and removal compared to traditional hairpin cotter pins, making it a practical choice in high-cycle service environments where regular disassembly is expected.

Key Features

• Hammerlock design resists vibration-induced backing out
• Zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance for general-purpose use
• 0.125 inch diameter fits standard drilled-pin holes in clevis and hitch hardware
• 2 inch usable length accommodates typical linkage pin diameters and stack thicknesses
• Reusable and removable without special tools

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hammerlock cotter pin for use with clevis pins, hitch pins, and similar fasteners requiring a 0.125 inch diameter locking pin.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond a pair of pliers for securing the hammerlock tab. Always de-energize or lock out the associated equipment before servicing any pinned linkage or connection point. Verify that the pin hole diameter matches 0.125 inches before installation to ensure proper retention. Discard any pin that shows bending, cracking, or corrosion damage and replace with a new unit.
