Gibraltar G10-0055EW Ball Knob Female Insert Phenolic Red

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-0055EW is a phenolic ball knob with a female insert mount, designed for use on threaded shafts and fasteners in industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly applications. The knob measures 1-15/16 inches in diameter and 1-27/32 inches in height, with a smooth grip surface and a red finish for easy visual identification. The 1/2-20 threaded female insert provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection. Phenolic construction offers good resistance to heat and general chemical exposure, making this knob suitable for demanding service environments. Machinists, assemblers, and maintenance technicians install this type of hardware on jigs, fixtures, clamps, and machine controls.

This knob is suited for use in light industrial, manufacturing, and equipment maintenance settings where a reliable hand-operated control point is needed. The female insert style allows the knob to thread directly onto a male-threaded stud or bolt. The smooth grip profile and compact hub diameter of 13/16 inches keep the footprint minimal in tight panel or fixture layouts. The red color aids in quick identification on multi-control assemblies or safety-critical adjustment points.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools — thread the knob onto the mating male stud by hand until snug. Ensure the threaded stud is clean and free of damage before installation. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing controls or hardware on live machinery. Verify thread engagement depth against the 1-1/8 inch hole depth to confirm full seating.
