Value Collection P20191 Hammerlock Cotter Pin 5/32 X 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20191 is a hammerlock cotter pin designed for securing clevis pins, shafts, and fasteners in mechanical assemblies where positive locking is required. Measuring 5/32 inch in diameter and 2-1/2 inches in length, this pin is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in general-duty environments. The hammerlock design allows the looped end to be spread and locked after insertion, creating a reliable mechanical lock without additional hardware. This type of cotter pin is a standard component in agricultural equipment, machinery linkages, and structural fastening applications.

This hammerlock cotter pin is suited for use in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies across industrial, agricultural, and commercial maintenance applications. Typical installation scenarios include securing pins in clevis linkages, hitch connections, and general mechanical fastening where a removable but positive lock is needed. The zinc plating provides adequate protection for indoor and sheltered outdoor use. Technicians and mechanics working on equipment maintenance and assembly will find this pin appropriate for standard fastening tasks.

Key Features

• Hammerlock style design spreads and locks after insertion for positive retention
• 5/32 inch diameter and 2-1/2 inch length suit a wide range of standard clevis and shaft pin applications
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable strength for general-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and sheltered use
• Standard sizing compatible with common mechanical fastening hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hammerlock cotter pin for use with standard clevis pins, shafts, and mechanical fasteners requiring a 5/32 inch pin hole in light to medium-duty assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance personnel using standard hand tools. Before installing or removing cotter pins, de-energize or immobilize the equipment to prevent movement of linked components. Insert the pin through the aligned hole, then spread the hammerlock ends firmly to seat the lock. Never reuse a cotter pin that has been previously spread or deformed, as metal fatigue can compromise holding strength.
