You may need a set of pliers or additional tools to help you bend the tines. The pin is placed through a hole and the prongs (or tines) of the pin can then be bent to hold the pin in place. Split pins can also be used to keep machinery aligned. Split pins are typically used to fasten a shaft or similar component in place. This offers protection against corrosion. Some pins feature zinc plating or have been galvanised.
Split pins are typically made from aluminium, brass or stainless steel. Split pins need to be strong enough to hold components in place, but flexible enough to be bent to secure the fastening. Split pins have two tines (or prongs) with an eyelet at the bend. Split pins are normally constructed from a piece of wire or metal that is folded in half. If more than one row is required install additional rows at a maximum distance of 65mm apart.Split pins, also called cotter pins or split cotter pins, are a basic type of metal fastener. Insert a spring through the eye of every 4th or 5th post, then loop wire through the eye of the spring and pull taut so that the spring begins to open and secure with a crimp.Ĭontinue this process along the length of the ledge. Loop plastic coated stainless steel wire through the eye of the post and secure with a crimp. Post pads can be used for surfaces that are not suitable for drilling. Drill a hole in to the ledge, place a nylon anchor rivet in to the hole and insert a post. Install posts at maximum intervals of 1.5m. This system will not work against other pest birds.īefore installing post and wire systems, it is important to make sure the area is cleaned by removing any guano and debris, such as flaking paint. Post and wire is an effective method but should only be used in low pressure situations against pigeons and gulls. These stainless steel split pins will not rust, so they look better and will be easier to remove.
