Gibraltar A23-4-G Spoked Offset Handwheel 4 Inch Chrome

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR A23-4-G is a spoked offset handwheel designed for manual valve and machine control applications in industrial and trade settings. The offset spoke design provides clearance for the operator's hand, reducing knuckle interference during operation. Built with an iron hub and a chrome-plated finish, this handwheel measures 4 inches in diameter with a 3/8-inch bore (0.3750 inches decimal) and accepts a 10-24 threaded handle. Hub diameter is 1-1/8 inches with a hub height of 1-1/16 inches. Wheel thickness is 1-1/2 inches. Weighing 1.4 pounds, it is suited for moderate-duty manual control use on valves, jigs, fixtures, and machinery.

This handwheel is appropriate for use in industrial maintenance, fluid system valve control, and machine tool applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical maintenance technicians commonly install offset handwheels on gate valves, globe valves, and similar manually actuated components where a recessed or flush-mounted operator is required. The chrome finish resists light corrosion and provides a clean appearance in panel or console installations. Three spokes keep rotating mass low while maintaining structural rigidity for routine hand-torque demands.

Key Features

• Offset spoke design reduces hand clearance interference during rotation
• Iron hub construction for durability under repeated manual load
• Chrome-plated finish for corrosion resistance and clean appearance
• 3/8-inch bore (0.3750 inches) accommodates standard valve stem sizes
• 10-24 threaded handle mount for secure spoke attachment
• 3 spokes with 4-inch overall diameter for positive grip and control

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit handwheel for manually operated valves, machine tools, and industrial fixtures requiring a 3/8-inch bore offset-style wheel with a 10-24 threaded handle.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a pipefitter, millwright, or mechanical maintenance technician. Shut off and depressurize the associated valve or system before removing or installing the handwheel. Verify bore and thread size match the valve stem and handle assembly before installation. Do not use the handwheel as a lever extension or apply impact force to the spokes.
