Electro Hardware K1248 Fold Down Handle Stainless Steel

Product Description

The ELECTRO HARDWARE K1248 is a fold-down handle designed for industrial and trade applications where a low-profile, retractable grip is required. Constructed from stainless steel with a plain finish, this handle provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments. It measures 6 inches center to center and features a 5/16-24 thread size with a 5/16 inch overall diameter shaft. The fold-down design allows the handle to lay flat when not in use, reducing clearance issues in tight panel or enclosure installations. Technicians and tradespeople working on control panels, enclosures, and equipment housings rely on this style of handle for secure, repeatable access.

The K1248 is suited for use on electrical enclosures, equipment panels, HVAC unit access doors, and similar trade hardware applications. The fold-down mechanism is particularly useful in installations where space is limited and a fixed handle would interfere with adjacent components or covers. The plain stainless steel finish makes it compatible with both indoor and outdoor installations where moisture resistance is a priority.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified technicians using standard hand tools appropriate for the mounting surface material. De-energize and lock out any electrical enclosure before installing or replacing panel hardware. Verify that the mounting hole pattern matches the 6 inch center-to-center specification before installation. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines for enclosure hardware.
