Value Collection P20136 Hammerlock Cotter Pin 3/16x2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20136 is a hammerlock cotter pin designed for securing clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and mechanical linkages in a wide range of industrial and trade applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this cotter pin measures 3/16 inches in diameter and 2 inches in usable length. The hammerlock style features a locking loop that folds back against itself, resisting vibration-induced loosening without additional hardware. It is a standard fastener stocked and installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, HVAC service personnel, and general tradespeople working on mechanical assemblies.

This cotter pin suits light-duty to medium-duty mechanical connections where a reliable, low-profile retaining fastener is required. Common applications include clevis pin retention, pivot assemblies, linkage rods, and shaft retainers found in HVAC equipment, agricultural machinery, material handling systems, and general plant maintenance scenarios. The zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments.

Key Features

• Hammerlock design locks back on itself for vibration resistance without additional hardware
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for light-to-medium duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers baseline corrosion protection for indoor and sheltered installations
• 3/16 inch diameter fits standard clevis pin and linkage rod retaining holes
• 2 inch usable length accommodates moderate material stack-up in typical pin assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hammerlock cotter pin for use in mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/16 inch diameter retaining fastener with a 2 inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Cotter pins are installed by maintenance technicians and tradespeople using needle-nose pliers or a cotter pin tool. Always remove and replace cotter pins rather than reusing them, as bending fatigues the material. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and free of burrs before insertion, and fold the locking loop fully against the assembly to prevent snagging or unintended release.
