Gibraltar 1RM6A205A8Z002G Fluted Knob Female Insert

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 1RM6A205A8Z002G is a fluted knob with a female insert, designed for tool-free manual adjustment in industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly applications. The knob features a 1.68-inch head diameter and is molded from thermoplastic elastomer, which provides a firm, comfortable grip while maintaining resistance to common shop fluids and light abrasion. The female insert accepts a 1/4-20 threaded fastener, making it compatible with standard machine screws and threaded rods. Technicians and assemblers use this type of knob wherever a hand-tightened adjustment point is needed without reaching for tools.

This fluted knob is suited for use on panel-mounted controls, machine guards, fixtures, enclosures, and adjustment mechanisms across general industrial and light mechanical environments. The 1/4-20 thread size is a common standard in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and light fabrication assemblies. The thermoplastic elastomer construction makes it appropriate for both indoor and light-duty outdoor installations where a non-marring grip surface is preferred.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading the female insert onto a compatible 1/4-20 fastener. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before seating the knob.
