Value Collection P20119 Extended Prong Cotter Pin Zinc Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20119 is an extended prong cotter pin designed for use in mechanical assemblies where secure fastener retention is required. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this pin measures 3/32 inch in diameter and 1-3/4 inches in length. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back after insertion, locking clevis pins, shaft pins, and similar fasteners in place. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general tradespeople install these pins in a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications where vibration or movement could otherwise cause fastener migration.

This cotter pin is suited for use in light-duty mechanical connections, linkage assemblies, agricultural equipment, trailers, and general fastener retention applications. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor or sheltered outdoor environments. The extended prong geometry offers additional material beyond the eye for bending and securing, making it a reliable choice where standard prong pins lack sufficient leg length for a solid lock.

Key Features

• Extended prong design provides extra leg length for positive mechanical retention
• Grade 2 steel construction offers reliable strength for light-duty fastener applications
• Zinc-plated finish delivers basic corrosion resistance in sheltered environments
• 3/32 inch diameter suits standard clevis pins, shaft pins, and linkage hardware
• 1-3/4 inch length accommodates assemblies requiring additional pin reach

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or consumable cotter pin for light-duty mechanical assemblies using 3/32 inch diameter pin holes, including clevis joints, linkage rods, trailer hitch connections, and general shaft retention applications.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are typically installed by maintenance technicians and general tradespeople using needle-nose pliers or cotter pin tools. Insert the pin through the aligned hole in the fastener and shaft, then bend the prongs apart and back against the fastener to secure. Never reuse a cotter pin that has been removed, as bending fatigues the material. Always match pin diameter to the hole specification to ensure a proper fit and reliable retention.
