Gibraltar 1RM6B941A8Z002G Fluted Knob 1.68 in Threaded Stem

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 1RM6B941A8Z002G is a fluted knob with a 1.68-inch head diameter and a threaded stem, constructed from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). TPE construction provides a firm yet slightly compliant grip surface, making it well suited for frequent hand-adjustment applications in mechanical equipment, control panels, and enclosures. At 0.15 pounds, this is a lightweight hardware component designed for straightforward threaded installation without tools. HVAC technicians, electricians, and mechanical contractors commonly use knobs of this type on equipment doors, adjustment shafts, and panel fasteners where tool-free access is required.

This fluted knob is appropriate for use in light-duty mechanical and electrical applications where a secure, hand-operated grip point is needed on a threaded shaft or stud. Typical install scenarios include equipment access panels, control enclosures, instrumentation mounts, and field-adjustable mechanical assemblies found in both residential and commercial settings. The threaded stem design allows direct engagement with a mating threaded hole or insert without additional hardware.

Key Features

• 1.68-inch head diameter provides a comfortable hand grip surface
• Fluted outer profile improves grip and reduces slippage during adjustment
• Threaded stem design enables direct tool-free installation onto mating threaded components
• Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) construction offers durability with a compliant grip feel
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds, suitable for panel and enclosure applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose threaded knob for use on equipment panels, enclosures, and mechanical assemblies with a compatible threaded shaft or insert.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading the knob stem onto a compatible threaded shaft or insert. Verify thread size and pitch match before installation to avoid cross-threading or stripping the TPE stem. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure before servicing panel hardware per applicable NEC guidelines. Do not over-torque by using tools on this hand-knob component, as TPE material is not rated for mechanical wrench application.
