Gibraltar 5J45A206A8Z001G Lobed Knob 3-point Tpe Black

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 5J45A206A8Z001G is a 3-point lobed knob constructed from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and finished in black. It features a 1.77-inch head diameter and a 5/16-18 threaded stem with a 0.73-inch thread depth, making it suitable for hand-tightening applications where tool-free adjustment is required. The TPE material provides a firm yet slightly flexible grip surface, reducing hand fatigue during repeated adjustments. This knob is installed by technicians and assemblers wherever a secure, finger-operated fastening point is needed on equipment panels, enclosures, or mechanical assemblies.

This lobed knob is suited for use in light industrial, HVAC, electrical, and mechanical service applications. It is commonly used on access panels, equipment covers, and control housings where frequent removal and reinstallation occurs without the use of tools. The 3-lobe profile provides adequate torque transfer for hand-tightened connections in low-load service environments.

Key Features

• 3-point lobed profile for secure hand grip and tool-free operation
• 1.77-inch head diameter for comfortable finger torque
• Thermoplastic elastomer construction for durability and grip
• 5/16-18 threaded hole with 0.73-inch thread depth
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds — minimal load addition to panels or assemblies
• Black finish for clean appearance on equipment enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 threaded lobed knob for use on equipment panels, enclosures, and mechanical assemblies requiring tool-free hand adjustment.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — thread the knob onto the corresponding 5/16-18 stud or bolt by hand. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not use power tools or wrenches to tighten, as over-torquing may damage the TPE body or strip the internal threads. Verify thread engagement depth does not exceed 0.73 inches.
