Gibraltar 7C40KQ8WAAN001G Adjustable Clamping Handle

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 7C40KQ8WAAN001G is an adjustable clamping handle designed for tool-free fastening and quick-release applications on machinery, fixtures, and industrial equipment. It features a 1/4-20 threaded stud mount and a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) grip body in black. The hub diameter is 0.39 inches and the stud length is 0.78 inches, making it a compact, low-profile solution. The actual handle height is 0.96 inches with a projected handle height of 1.46 inches. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators install this type of handle wherever hand-tightened clamping is needed without tools.

This clamping handle is suited for light-duty threaded stud mounting on panels, guards, access doors, jigs, and fixtures in industrial and commercial settings. The 1/4-20 thread size is one of the most common fractional thread standards in North American manufacturing, making this handle broadly applicable across machine tool, fabrication, and assembly environments. It is a direct-mount item requiring no additional hardware beyond the threaded receiver in the host component.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 threaded stud mount for direct installation into standard tapped holes
• Thermoplastic elastomer body provides a firm, comfortable grip during hand-tightening
• Compact hub diameter of 0.39 inches keeps the footprint small on tight panels
• Actual handle height of 0.96 inches and actual handle length of 1.87 inches for low-profile clearance
• Hub height of 0.28 inches minimizes protrusion from the mounting surface
• Black finish resists visual contamination and blends with standard industrial equipment aesthetics

Compatibility

Designed as a standard threaded-stud clamping handle for any panel, fixture, or enclosure with a 1/4-20 tapped mounting hole requiring tool-free hand adjustment.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a pre-tapped 1/4-20 threaded hole in the receiving component. Hand-tighten only — do not use a wrench or power tool on the handle body, as TPE grips are not rated for driven torque. Confirm thread engagement depth is sufficient for the stud length of 0.78 inches before final assembly. No special tools or trade certifications are required for installation.
