Gibraltar BBK-054-G Ball Knob 1-7/8 in Brass Threaded

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR BBK-054-G is a brass ball knob designed for threaded-hole mounting in light industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. The knob features a 5/8-11 threaded hole and a smooth grip surface, making it suitable for use as a handle or adjustment control on machinery, fixtures, and equipment. The knob measures 1.88 inches in diameter with a hole depth of 0.75 inches. The natural brass finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance without a coated surface. This type of knob is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and equipment fabricators.

The GIBRALTAR BBK-054-G is used in light industrial and commercial settings where a durable, hand-operable control point is needed on threaded rod, bolt, or stud assemblies. Typical applications include jig and fixture handles, valve hand controls, machine adjustment points, and panel hardware. The smooth grip is appropriate for applications where gloves are not typically worn during operation. The brass construction makes it well-suited for environments where steel hardware could corrode.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 threaded hole for direct installation onto standard threaded rod or stud
• 1.88 inch diameter for a comfortable, hand-operable grip

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit addition for threaded-hole ball knob applications using 5/8-11 threaded fastener assemblies in industrial and mechanical equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or equipment fabricators using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating threaded stud or rod matches the 5/8-11 thread specification before installation. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before attaching or removing knobs from active assemblies. Do not overtighten the knob onto the stud, as brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
