It measures 1\/16 inch in diameter and 1-1\/2 inches in length. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating, it provides adequate corrosion resistance for general-duty use. The extended prong design allows the tines to be bent back firmly after insertion, locking the pin securely in place. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance professionals routinely use cotter pins when assembling or servicing equipment that requires a reliable, low-profile mechanical lock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cotter pin is suited for residential and light commercial maintenance tasks where a fast, reliable mechanical locking method is needed. Common applications include securing clevis pins on linkages, retaining axle pins on small machinery, and fastening shaft components in HVAC damper assemblies, pump linkages, and control rod connections. The zinc finish provides basic protection against moisture and mild environmental exposure in typical indoor or sheltered installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtended prong design locks firmly when tines are spread after installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 2 steel construction provides dependable strength for general mechanical duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc plating offers basic corrosion protection in indoor and sheltered environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/16 inch diameter fits standard small-pin bore applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch length accommodates moderate material thickness with room to bend tines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or service cotter pin for mechanical assemblies requiring a 1\/16 inch diameter extended prong style fastener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by inserting the pin through a drilled hole in a shaft or pin, then bending the extended prongs back against the workpiece to lock it in place. De-energize or shut down any equipment before servicing the assembly. Use needle-nose pliers to spread or close tines cleanly without cracking the pin. Follow applicable mechanical and equipment manufacturer guidelines when selecting cotter pin size for load-bearing connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extended Prong\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 2 Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31163204\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: P20285\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721430466866,"sku":"P20285","price":476.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ce5343fcad6be75f6e6cf24a18a1b4bb.jpg?v=1788577332","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-p20285-extended-prong-cotter-pin","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
