Gibraltar G10-0030AW Ball Knob Female Insert 1 Inch

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-0030AW is a phenolic ball knob with a female insert mount designed for use on threaded fasteners in light mechanical and industrial applications. The knob measures 1 inch in diameter with a 15/16 inch height and accepts a 1/4-28 threaded insert with a 7/16 inch hole depth. The smooth grip surface and red phenolic construction make it easy to identify and operate by hand. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals use these knobs on equipment panels, fixtures, and machine guards where tool-free adjustment is required.

This ball knob is suited for residential and commercial maintenance applications where hand-tightened fastening is needed on panels, covers, jigs, or equipment assemblies. The 1/4-28 female insert thread is common in light-duty mechanical and instrumentation setups. The red color aids visual identification in multi-knob configurations. The compact 1/2 inch hub diameter keeps the footprint minimal on crowded panels or enclosures.

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or add-on female insert ball knob for equipment panels, machine guards, and fixtures that use 1/4-28 threaded fasteners requiring hand-adjustable control knobs.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the female insert onto a 1/4-28 male fastener by hand or with light tooling. Ensure the mating fastener thread pitch matches 1/4-28 before installation to avoid cross-threading. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing panels or covers on which these knobs are mounted. Do not overtighten, as phenolic material can crack under excessive torque.
