Value Collection MP38252 Hammerlock Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP38252 is a hammerlock cotter pin designed for securing clevis pins, linkage assemblies, and other fastened connections in mechanical and industrial applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 0.1875 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length. The hammerlock style features a locking loop that resists vibration-induced loosening, making it suitable for installations where conventional hairpin-style cotter pins may back out under load. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, equipment mechanics, and general maintenance trades use cotter pins of this type when servicing linkages, valve actuators, and damper controls.

This cotter pin is suited to light-duty mechanical assemblies found in residential and light commercial equipment. Common applications include damper linkages on HVAC air handling units, valve actuator rods, and control arm connections on mechanical equipment. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor or sheltered mechanical spaces. It is sold individually but is subject to a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Hammerlock style resists backing out under vibration
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable light-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in sheltered environments
• 0.1875-inch diameter fits standard clevis pin and linkage rod applications
• 2.5-inch length accommodates typical actuator rod and linkage assembly depths

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style hammerlock cotter pin for use in light-duty mechanical linkage assemblies, valve actuator rods, and clevis pin connections where a 0.1875-inch diameter pin is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tooling beyond standard pliers or a cotter pin tool to seat the hammerlock loop. Ensure the mating clevis pin or rod is fully seated before inserting and locking the cotter pin. Always power down or de-energize the associated equipment and relieve any spring or actuator tension before servicing linkage components. Replace any cotter pin that shows signs of deformation, corrosion, or fatigue rather than reusing it.
