Value Collection P20198 Hammerlock Cotter Pin 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20198 is a hammerlock cotter pin designed for securing clevis pins, shaft assemblies, and mechanical linkages in industrial and trade applications. Measuring 0.375 inches in diameter and 4 inches in usable length, it is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. The hammerlock style provides a reliable locking grip when installed through a drilled pin or shaft hole. This pin is a standard fastener used by mechanics, millwrights, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance trades wherever a quick-release or semi-permanent pin retention solution is needed.

This cotter pin suits a wide range of commercial and industrial fastening applications including mechanical linkages, control rods, clevis assemblies, gate hardware, and equipment maintenance connections. It is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor use where moderate corrosion resistance is acceptable. The zinc plating provides a protective barrier against light moisture exposure. This item is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it suitable for stocking in shop inventory or field service kits.

Key Features

• Hammerlock style for secure pin retention in drilled-hole applications
• 0.375 inch diameter fits standard clevis and shaft pin applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-duty replacement or stock cotter pin for mechanical linkages, clevis assemblies, and shaft retention applications requiring a 0.375 inch diameter hammerlock-style fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires the receiving hole to be properly sized for a 0.375 inch pin to ensure a secure fit without excessive play. Relieve any load or tension on the assembly before removing or installing the cotter pin. Standard hand tools are sufficient for most installations. Inspect the pin and mating hardware for wear or damage before reinstalling in critical load-bearing applications.
