Value Collection P20120 Extended Prong Cotter Pin

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20120 is an extended prong cotter pin used to secure clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and fastener linkages in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and general trade applications. It measures 0.125 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches in length. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this cotter pin resists corrosion in typical indoor and light-duty outdoor service environments. The extended prong design allows the legs to be bent back securely after insertion, providing reliable retention in high-vibration or load-bearing assemblies. Technicians across multiple trades rely on this style of fastener for quick, tool-minimal installation in panel linkages, damper assemblies, and mechanical controls.

This cotter pin is suited for use in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a 0.125-inch diameter fastener is specified. Typical applications include HVAC damper pivot pins, plumbing valve linkages, and equipment control rod connections. The compact 0.5-inch length fits tight clearance installations where standard-length cotter pins may not be practical. This item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for shop stock, service van inventory, or production assembly use.

• 0.5-inch length suits tight-clearance installations
• Minimum order quantity of 100 units supports bulk shop and fleet stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension extended prong cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.125-inch diameter, 0.5-inch length fastener across HVAC, plumbing, and general equipment service applications.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by licensed mechanical technicians and general trade professionals using standard needle-nose pliers or cotter pin pullers. Always de-energize or shut down the associated equipment before accessing pivot pins or linkage assemblies. Insert the pin fully through the hole, then spread the prongs firmly in opposite directions to lock the fastener in place. Do not reuse a cotter pin once it has been removed, as spreading fatigues the material.
