Value Collection MP92239 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP92239 is an extended prong cotter pin manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. It measures 5/32 inches in diameter and 1-1/2 inches in length. Extended prong cotter pins are used to secure clevis pins, shaft ends, and fasteners in assemblies where a positive lock is required. The extended prong design allows the legs to wrap around or tuck securely after installation, reducing the risk of backing out under vibration or dynamic load. This pin is suited for mechanical, industrial, and trade applications where corrosion resistance and reliable retention are priorities.

This cotter pin is appropriate for use in light mechanical assemblies, linkage systems, and fastener retention across HVAC, plumbing, electrical panel, and general industrial applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction offers solid resistance to moisture and mild corrosive environments, making it a practical choice for both indoor and outdoor service work. Technicians and mechanics reach for this size when securing mid-range clevis pins and rod-end hardware in moderate-duty assemblies.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks securely after installation, resisting loosening under vibration
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose mechanical and trade applications
• Compact 5/32 inches diameter fits standard clevis and shaft-end hardware in that size range
• 1-1/2 inches length accommodates typical fastener stack-ups for this pin diameter

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/32 inches diameter pin with a 1-1/2 inches length.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by a wide range of trades including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanics. Before installation, ensure the receiving hole in the clevis or shaft is clear and properly sized for 5/32 inches diameter. Insert the pin fully through the hole, then bend the prongs apart or wrap them around the fastener using needle-nose pliers to lock the pin in place. Never reuse a cotter pin that has been previously bent, as metal fatigue reduces its holding ability.
