Value Collection MP38270 Hammerlock Cotter Pin 5/16x2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP38270 is a hammerlock cotter pin used to secure clevis pins, fasteners, and mechanical linkages in place. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 5/16 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length. The hammerlock design allows the pin to lock onto itself once inserted, eliminating the need for a separate retaining clip. It is a standard hardware component installed by mechanics, millwrights, agricultural equipment technicians, and general maintenance tradespeople across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

This cotter pin is suited for use in clevis and hitch assemblies, linkage connections, and general mechanical fastening where a reliable, low-profile locking pin is required. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor service environments. Typical applications include farm equipment, material handling machinery, conveyor systems, and general shop fabrication work where Grade 2 steel meets the load and environmental requirements.

Key Features

• Hammerlock design locks onto itself after insertion without additional hardware
• Grade 2 steel construction for standard-duty mechanical applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension hammerlock cotter pin for use in clevis pins, hitch pins, and mechanical linkage assemblies requiring a 5/16 inch pin diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with standard pliers; no specialized tooling is required. Ensure the mating hole diameter is consistent with the 5/16 inch pin dimension before installation. Inspect the pin and mating components for wear or deformation prior to use. Replace any bent or deformed pins rather than reusing them, as hammerlock pins are generally considered single-use fasteners.
