Gibraltar CIHW-4-STR-G Spoked Straight Handwheel 4 Inch

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CIHW-4-STR-G is a spoked straight handwheel designed for manual valve and machine control applications across industrial and trade settings. Built with a plain finish and a fine-grain iron hub, this 4-inch diameter handwheel delivers reliable grip and consistent operation in demanding environments. The three-spoke design keeps weight low while maintaining structural rigidity. The 1.0-inch wheel thickness and 0.6-inch rim thickness contribute to a solid feel under load. Maintenance technicians, plumbers, and industrial equipment installers are the typical end users for this type of hardware.

This handwheel suits applications where direct manual actuation of valves, presses, or machine adjustments is required. It is appropriate for both light industrial and trade-plumbing installations where a compact 4-inch manual control wheel is needed. The straight hub style fits standard shaft and valve stem configurations common in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical assemblies. No power source is required, making it suitable for manual shutoff and positioning tasks in a wide range of fixed equipment.

Key Features

• 4-inch diameter for compact manual control in tight spaces
• Three-spoke construction reduces weight while maintaining strength
• Fine-grain iron hub for durability under repeated manual cycling
• Plain finish suits both painted and unpainted installation environments
• Straight handwheel type for direct valve stem or shaft mounting
• 1.0-inch wheel thickness provides a secure grip surface

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit handwheel for manual valves, machine controls, and industrial equipment requiring a 4-inch straight spoked handwheel with a 1.2-inch hub diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, plumbers, or industrial mechanics. Before mounting, ensure the valve or shaft is fully depressurized and de-energized. Verify that the hub bore and keyway dimensions of the mating shaft match the handwheel hub before final assembly. Follow applicable mechanical and plumbing codes for the specific system being serviced.
