Value Collection MP92221 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP92221 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure fasteners, clevis pins, and shaft assemblies against loosening or withdrawal. Machined from 18-8 stainless steel with no coating applied, it delivers corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, and chemically exposed environments. The pin measures 3/32 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length. Extended prong geometry allows the tines to be bent outward after insertion, locking the assembly firmly in place. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance professionals use cotter pins like this one to retain clevis connections on linkage rods, valve stems, and mechanical controls.

This pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies in residential and commercial applications where a reliable, removable retention fastener is needed. Typical installation scenarios include securing clevis pins on damper actuator linkages, pump bracket assemblies, and control rod connections. The uncoated 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where mild corrosion resistance is required without the need for an additional protective finish.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows tines to be spread for positive mechanical retention
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor conditions
• Uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or contaminate the assembly
• 3/32 inches diameter fits standard clevis pin and cotter pin hole sizes in this range
• 2 inches usable length accommodates assemblies with moderate material thickness

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/32-inch diameter retention fastener with a 2-inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools beyond needle-nose pliers to spread the prongs after insertion. Ensure the receiving hole is clear and the pin slides through freely before bending the tines. Always de-energize or lock out any mechanical system before servicing linkage or fastener connections. Cotter pins are single-use fasteners — replace with a new pin any time the assembly is disassembled.
