Description
Overview:
These metric split pins are zinc‐plated steel fasteners used to stop nuts and pins from working loose in service. Each pin has a 2.0 mm diameter (approx 5/64 in / 0.08 in) and 40 mm length (approx 1.57 in), suitable for through‐holes on matching metric hardware. Once inserted, the two legs are bent back to lock the assembly, making them a simple, low‐cost mechanical retainer. They are commonly used on clevis pins, castellated (castle) nuts, linkages, and shafts across construction equipment, trailers, garden machinery, and general plant. Supplied in a bulk pack of 500 for workshop, site, or fleet maintenance. Identified by MPN 903 1361 for easy reordering, these pins offer reliable, corrosion‐resistant performance in indoor and outdoor environments.
Key Features:
- Metric size: 2.0 mm diameter x 40 mm length (approx 5/64 in x 1.57 in) for common clevis and castle nut applications
- Zinc‐plated steel for improved corrosion resistance in outdoor and damp conditions

- Cost‐effective alternative to more complex locking systems where appropriate
- Marked by MPN 903 1361 for straightforward identification in stores and kits
Typical Applications:
Securing castellated nuts on axles and linkages, locking clevis pins in hydraulic and mechanical linkages, retaining pins on trailer couplings, mower and garden equipment pivots, machinery guards and hinges, and general maintenance on plant, vehicles, and equipment where a quick, dependable secondary locking method is required.
