Gibraltar ABK-035-G Ball Knob 1 in Aluminum Threaded Hole

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR ABK-035-G is a smooth-grip aluminum ball knob with a threaded hole mount, designed for use as a manual control handle on machinery, panels, fixtures, and equipment. Machined from aluminum in a natural finish, this knob measures 1 inch in diameter and accepts a 1/4-20 threaded fastener with a 1/2 inch hole depth. The round ball profile provides a firm, comfortable grip for repeated manual adjustments. It weighs 0.05 pounds and installs without tools beyond the mating threaded stud or screw. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and equipment assemblers typically specify this knob for access panels, adjustment mechanisms, and control fixtures.

The ABK-035-G suits light industrial, commercial, and trade applications where a compact, threaded-hole ball knob is needed. Common installation scenarios include HVAC access panel latches, electrical enclosure hardware, custom fixture jigs, and mechanical adjustment points. The 1/4-20 thread size is a standard coarse thread, compatible with widely available fastener stock. The natural aluminum finish provides corrosion resistance without additional coating. Package quantity is one unit per order.

Installation Notes

Thread the ABK-035-G onto a compatible 1/4-20 stud, bolt, or screw by hand until snug. De-energize or isolate any panel or equipment before replacing knobs on live control surfaces. Avoid over-tightening, as aluminum threads can strip if excessive torque is applied. No special tools are required for typical installation.
