Gibraltar 7C80KQ7QAAN001G Adjustable Clamping Handle

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 7C80KQ7QAAN001G is an adjustable clamping handle designed for securing panels, guards, covers, and fixtures on industrial and mechanical equipment. It uses a threaded stud mount with a 3/8-16 thread and a stud length of 1.18 inches. The handle body is molded from thermoplastic elastomer, giving it a firm, comfortable grip without a metal outer surface. Actual handle height is 1.46 inches and actual handle length is 3.58 inches. This type of handle is commonly installed by millwrights, machine assemblers, HVAC equipment technicians, and maintenance professionals working on access panels or equipment enclosures.

This clamping handle suits light to medium-duty clamping applications where hand-tightening is required without tools. The threaded stud configuration allows direct installation into tapped holes on sheet metal panels, equipment housings, machine guards, and similar assemblies. It is appropriate for both original equipment assembly and field replacement of worn or damaged handles on existing equipment.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or OEM-style threaded stud clamping handle for equipment panels, machine guards, and access covers using 3/8-16 tapped mounting points.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a matching 3/8-16 tapped hole in the mounting surface. Power down or de-energize any equipment before removing or replacing access panel hardware. Hand-tighten only — do not use power tools on the handle stud, as over-torquing may crack the thermoplastic elastomer body or strip the threaded insert. Verify stud length is compatible with panel thickness before installation.
