Bow Tie Cotter Pins

Bow Tie Cotter Pins

Bow tie cotter pins, also known as double bridge pins, are a wire formed retaining pin often used to secure clevis pins, hitch pins, or other mating parts. The cotter pin is inserted into a hole in the mating part or pin and it acts as a locking mechanism. The unique shape of bow tie cotter pins conveniently allows them to be installed from either side of a hole by pushing or pulling. Dual ends make them more secure than a standard bridge pin. These low-cost and highly versatile fasteners are used in a wide range of applications including agricultural, automotive, industrial, and much more.
