Gibraltar 5B60B944A8Z001G Lobed Knob 5-point Black

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 5B60B944A8Z001G is a 5-point lobed knob constructed from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) with a black finish. It features a 2.26-inch head diameter and accepts a 3/8-16 threaded stem with a 1.75-inch thread length, making it a practical hand-tightening fastener solution for panel assemblies, enclosures, and equipment covers. The lobed profile distributes grip force across five contact points, allowing for firm tightening without tools in applications where frequent access or adjustment is required. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and equipment assemblers commonly install this type of knob on control panels, access doors, and machinery guards.

This lobed knob is suited for light industrial and commercial applications where a tool-free, repeatable fastening point is needed. It works well on enclosure covers, instrument panels, and adjustable fixtures across HVAC, electrical, and general equipment service environments. The TPE material resists oils and mild chemicals, making it appropriate for mechanical rooms and service panels where incidental fluid contact is possible.

Key Features

• 5-point lobed profile for tool-free hand tightening and consistent grip
• 2.26-inch head diameter for comfortable torque application by hand
• 3/8-16 threaded stem with 1.75-inch thread length for standard fastener compatibility
• Thermoplastic elastomer construction resists oils and mild chemicals
• 1.25-inch hub diameter with 0.16-inch hub height for flush-mount clearance
• Overall height of 1.09 inches for low-profile installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation lobed knob for 3/8-16 threaded applications on enclosures, control panels, access covers, and adjustable equipment fixtures in light industrial and trade service environments.

Installation Notes

De-energize any electrical panel or equipment before servicing fasteners on covers or access doors. Thread engagement should be verified for proper depth before applying hand torque. TPE knobs are intended for hand-tightening only and should not be driven with power tools. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines for panel access hardware.
