Value Collection P20115 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20115 is an extended prong cotter pin designed to secure clevis pins, fasteners, and axle shafts in light- to medium-duty mechanical assemblies. Measuring 0.0625 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches in length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in standard service environments. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back easily after installation, locking the pin firmly in place without special tools. Maintenance technicians, mechanics, and general trade professionals install these pins in a wide range of equipment and structural applications.

This cotter pin is suited for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a small, reliable locking fastener is required. Typical applications include securing pins in linkage assemblies, control rods, clevis brackets, and hinged mechanisms found in HVAC equipment, plumbing valve linkages, and general mechanical systems. The compact 0.5-inch length and 0.0625-inch diameter make it appropriate for tight clearance locations where larger fasteners will not fit.

Key Features

• Extended prong design locks securely when legs are bent after insertion
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for light- to medium-duty use
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid environments
• Compact size — 0.0625 inches diameter by 0.5 inches long — fits tight clearance assemblies
• No special tools required for installation or removal

Compatibility

Designed as a standard extended prong cotter pin for use in light- to medium-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.0625-inch diameter locking pin.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by general maintenance technicians and mechanics using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin pullers. Before servicing any assembly, de-energize the equipment and relieve any stored mechanical pressure or tension. Insert the pin fully through the hole, then bend the prongs apart or back against the fastener to lock it in position. Never reuse a cotter pin that has been previously bent, as metal fatigue can compromise its holding ability.
