C. Sherman Johnson Cotter, Ring & Clevis Pin Kit

The C. Sherman Johnson Cotter, Ring & Clevis Pin Kit is a broad service assortment intended for sailboat rigging shops, dealers, and owners who maintain several sizes of pinned connections. It combines multiple clevis-pin diameters and grip lengths with a large supply of circular, safety, and cotter pins. That range makes it useful for scheduled rigging work, emergency replacements, and stocking a service bench with the small hardware that is easy to run out of. The assortment is especially practical when a boat uses several different pin sizes across stays, lifelines, toggles, and deck fittings.

The clevis-pin selection starts at 3/16 in diameter and extends through 1/2 in, with multiple grip lengths represented within the common sizes. The kit also includes fifty circular pins for 3/16 in and 1/4 in applications plus ten reusable safety pins for those same diameters. Cotter-pin quantities include one hundred 1/16 x 1/2 in pieces, fifty 3/32 x 3/4 in pieces, twenty-five 1/8 x 1 in pieces, and ten 5/32 x 1-1/4 in pieces. This combination provides both the primary clevis hardware and the retaining pieces needed to secure it.

• Multiple clevis-pin diameters from 3/16 in through 1/2 in
• Several grip lengths for common rigging connections
• Fifty circular pins plus ten reusable safety pins
• Large cotter-pin assortment in four sizes

Select every pin by actual diameter and grip requirement rather than by appearance, since an incorrect fit can leave a connection loose or improperly secured. Retaining pins should be replaced whenever they show distortion, wear, or damage from repeated bending. Browse more Sailing Hardware for compatible hardware and related marine rigging components.
