Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 5\/32 inch in diameter and 2 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent outward after installation, locking the pin securely in place within a clevis, bracket, or shaft bore. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance suitable for light-duty indoor and outdoor mechanical applications. This type of fastener is installed by maintenance technicians, mechanics, and trade professionals across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cotter pin is suited for light-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies. Common uses include securing clevis pins in linkage assemblies, retaining shafts in brackets, and locking fasteners in low-vibration mechanical systems. The extended prong configuration provides additional bending material compared to a standard prong design, making it a practical choice where a more secure lock is needed after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended prong design provides additional leg length for positive mechanical lockout after bending\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction suitable for light-duty mechanical fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for general service environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/32 inch diameter fits standard clevis pin and shaft bore applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 inch usable length accommodates a range of bracket and linkage thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard extended prong cotter pin for general mechanical fastening applications requiring a 5\/32 inch diameter pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCotter pins are installed by inserting the pin through a pre-drilled hole in a shaft or clevis pin, then bending the extended prongs outward to lock the pin in position. Always ensure the mating hole diameter matches the pin diameter before installation. Use needle-nose pliers to bend the prongs cleanly without cracking the zinc plating. Do not reuse a cotter pin once it has been removed and the prongs bent, as the metal fatigues at the bend point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extended Prong Cotter Pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2 Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MP40933\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699314884914,"sku":"MP40933","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fb1d1a6c915405b670f0968fe307e9d9.jpg?v=1788374937","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-mp40933-extended-prong-cotter-pin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
