Value Collection MP40925 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP40925 is a zinc-plated, Grade 2 steel extended prong cotter pin designed to secure fasteners, clevis pins, and shaft assemblies against loosening or accidental disassembly. Measuring 0.125 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length, this cotter pin is sized for a wide range of mechanical and structural fastening applications. The extended prong design provides additional locking surface area, making bending and securing the prong straightforward during installation. The zinc plating adds a layer of corrosion resistance suitable for light-duty indoor and outdoor use. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general contractors commonly use this type of hardware to pin clevis assemblies, linkage rods, and hitch pins.

This cotter pin suits residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where a reliable, low-profile locking fastener is required. Common installation scenarios include HVAC linkage assemblies, plumbing valve actuator pins, agricultural equipment, trailers, and general mechanical assemblies. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 25 units, making it appropriate for stocking in shop inventory or a service van parts kit.

Key Features

• Extended prong design provides added locking surface for secure bending and retention
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable strength in light-duty fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in general-use environments
• 0.125 inch diameter fits standard clevis and hitch pin bore sizes
• 2 inch usable length accommodates a range of pin shaft thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in general mechanical, HVAC linkage, plumbing, and light industrial fastening applications where a 0.125 inch diameter cotter pin is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond needle-nose pliers for bending the prongs after insertion. Insert the pin through the bore of the clevis or shaft pin, then bend the prongs outward against the fastener face to lock it in place. Always de-energize or de-pressurize the assembly before servicing any pinned connection. Single-use cotter pins should be replaced rather than straightened and reused.
