Value Collection MP40941 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP40941 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fastener connections across a wide range of mechanical and structural applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this cotter pin measures 3/16 inch in diameter and 2 inches in usable length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back firmly over a mating component after insertion, providing a reliable mechanical lock. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance mechanics use cotter pins like this in linkage assemblies, control rods, and clevis connections throughout equipment installations.

This cotter pin is suited for light-duty to medium-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial maintenance environments. Typical applications include securing clevis pins on HVAC damper linkages, pump control rods, valve actuator arms, and similar mechanical connections where a positive, low-profile locking device is required. The zinc plating provides moderate corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor service conditions. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units per purchase.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks securely when legs are bent after insertion
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable light-duty to medium-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish for moderate corrosion resistance
• 3/16 inch diameter fits standard clevis pin and shaft holes of matching size
• 2 inch usable length accommodates a range of connection thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical linkage assemblies, clevis connections, and shaft-retention applications across HVAC, plumbing, and general maintenance equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond needle-nose pliers to bend the prongs after insertion. Ensure the mating pin or shaft hole diameter matches 3/16 inch before installing. Always depressurize, de-energize, or isolate the assembly before inserting or removing cotter pins on live mechanical or fluid systems. Never reuse a cotter pin that has been previously bent or deformed.
