Value Collection MP38273 Hammerlock Cotter Pin 5/16 X 3 in

Product Description

The Value Collection MP38273 is a hammerlock cotter pin designed for mechanical fastening applications where a secure, removable locking solution is required. Measuring 0.3125 inches in diameter and 3 inches in usable length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in light-duty service environments. Hammerlock cotter pins are used to secure clevis pins, shaft ends, and linkage assemblies across a wide range of industrial and mechanical installations. This pin ships individually and is available in minimum order quantities of 5 units.

This cotter pin is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, agricultural equipment, HVAC linkage hardware, and general industrial fastening applications. The hammerlock style provides a positive lock without the need for additional hardware, making it a practical choice for high-cycle or frequently serviced connections. Technicians working on actuator linkages, valve assemblies, and similar mechanical systems will find this pin a standard fit for clevis-style connections in that size range.

Installation Notes

Installation of cotter pins should be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician familiar with the fastening requirements of the assembly being serviced. Always relieve load from the pinned joint before removing or installing cotter pins. Ensure the clevis or shaft bore is clean and free of debris before inserting the pin, and confirm the pin seats fully before returning the assembly to service.
