Value Collection MP38272 Hammerlock Cotter Pin Zinc-plated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP38272 is a hammerlock cotter pin used to secure clevis pins, hitch pins, and similar fasteners in mechanical assemblies. It measures 0.3125 inches in diameter and 2.5 inches in length. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it provides corrosion resistance in general-purpose indoor and outdoor applications. This pin is a standard hardware component installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, agricultural equipment operators, and trade professionals performing equipment service or assembly work.

This hammerlock cotter pin is suited for light-to-medium duty fastening applications where a quick-install, reusable or single-use pin retainer is needed. Typical uses include agricultural machinery linkages, equipment hitches, trailer connections, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a reliable pin-retention solution. The zinc plating makes it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture exposure.

Key Features

• Hammerlock-style cotter pin for secure, positive retention
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable strength in general-purpose applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in moderate-moisture environments
• 0.3125 inches diameter fits standard clevis and hitch pin applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement cotter pin for standard hammerlock-style fastener applications requiring a 0.3125-inch diameter pin of 2.5-inch length.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tools in most applications. Ensure the mating pin bore is clear and free of debris before inserting the cotter pin. Always secure the hammerlock legs fully after insertion to prevent accidental disengagement. Replace the pin if any deformation or corrosion is observed during inspection.
