Gibraltar CIHW-7500-3-G Spoked Offset Handwheel 3 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CIHW-7500-3-G is a spoked offset handwheel with a plain finish, designed for manual valve and equipment control applications in industrial and trade settings. Built with a fine grain iron hub and a 3-inch handle diameter, this handwheel provides a reliable grip and consistent actuation force. The offset spoke design allows clearance in tight installations where a standard centered handwheel would interfere with adjacent hardware. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians commonly specify this style for valve actuation, machine tool controls, and fluid handling equipment.

This handwheel is suited for use in industrial facilities, manufacturing environments, and mechanical rooms where manual override or flow control is required. The plain finish makes it compatible with field painting or coating where corrosion protection is applied after installation. Its compact 3-inch diameter fits applications with limited operator clearance or close panel mounting. The three-spoke configuration balances weight reduction with sufficient structural rigidity for repeated manual operation.

Key Features

• Offset handwheel design allows clearance in confined or recessed mounting locations
• Iron hub construction for durability in repeated-use mechanical applications
• Plain finish accepts field-applied coatings or paint for corrosion protection
• 3-spoke configuration reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity
• Fine grain material grade provides consistent machining and thread fitment at the hub
• Compact 3-inch handle diameter suits tight-clearance panel and valve installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit handwheel for industrial valves, machine controls, and fluid handling equipment requiring a 3-inch spoked offset handwheel with a 1-inch hub diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by pipefitters, millwrights, or maintenance technicians. Shut off and de-energize or depressurize any connected system before removing or installing handwheels on valves or actuators. Verify hub bore and keyway dimensions match the valve stem or shaft before mounting. Secure with appropriate fasteners per equipment manufacturer specifications.
