Value Collection P20116 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20116 is a Grade 2 steel extended prong cotter pin with a zinc-plated finish, designed for use in mechanical fastening applications where a secure, low-cost locking solution is required. Measuring 0.0625 inches in diameter and 0.75 inches in length, this pin installs into drilled holes in bolts, pins, and clevis assemblies to prevent loosening under vibration or dynamic loading. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back over the mating component for a positive lock. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general tradespeople install this type of pin in routine mechanical assembly and repair work.

This cotter pin is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies in residential and commercial maintenance settings. Common applications include securing clevis pins, castle nuts, and shaft retention on linkages and pivot points across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general equipment service contexts. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-exposure environments. The extended prong configuration is preferred when additional bend-back clearance is needed at the installation site.

Key Features

• Extended prong design allows positive leg retention after installation
• Grade 2 steel construction for light-duty mechanical fastening
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance
• 0.0625 inches diameter fits standard drilled-hole clevis and bolt applications
• 0.75 inches length suits shallow-to-mid-depth pin installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-style replacement cotter pin for light-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.0625 inches diameter extended prong pin with a 0.75 inches usable length.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins of this type are installed by maintenance technicians and general tradespeople using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin pullers. Always de-energize or lock out the equipment before servicing pinned assemblies. Insert the pin fully through the drilled hole, then bend the extended prongs back firmly against the mating component to secure. Never reuse a removed cotter pin, as repeated bending compromises the material.
