Description:
Cotter pins insert into holes of certain types of fastener systems to secure them into place. The bulbous end prevents the pin from bing pulled through the hole so it is important to select a pin that has a diameter measurement larger than the hole diameter in the fastener you are working with. Once inserted through the hole, the two prongs at the opposite end can be separated and bent outward to lock the pin. Cotter pins are most frequently used to secure clevis pins or castle nuts.<li>Constructed of flattened steel wire, rolled and bent to shape</li><li>Pins come in corrosion resistant, zinc plated finish and can be used in many outdoor applications</li><li>Designed for use with small to large applications in a variety of industries, to include farming, automobile, recreation and many more</li><li>Features a bulbous end that prevents the pin from being pulled through the hole it is inserted into, when correct size is used</li><li>Easy to install with only a few simple tools</li><li>For further dimensional and specification information, please see the line drawing</li>
