Gibraltar FCIHW-4-STR-G Handwheel Chrome 4 in 3 Spoke

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR FCIHW-4-STR-G is a spoked straight handwheel with a chrome-plated finish, designed for use on valves, machine controls, and industrial equipment where manual adjustment is required. The handwheel measures 4 inches in diameter with a rim thickness of 0.6 inches and a wheel thickness of 1 inch. It features 3 spokes and an iron hub with a 3/8 inch bore diameter and a 10-24 threaded insert. The fine-grain material grade and chrome-plated surface provide durability and corrosion resistance in typical shop and mechanical environments. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This handwheel is suited for use in light industrial, commercial, and trade applications where a compact, manually operated control knob or valve wheel is needed. It fits standard 3/8 inch bore shafts with 10-24 thread, making it compatible with a wide range of valves, jigs, fixtures, and equipment control assemblies. The chrome-plated finish makes it appropriate for both exposed panel-mount and bench-mounted equipment applications.
