Gibraltar G10-0073-E Female Insert Lever Knob

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-0073-E is a female insert lever knob designed for use as a manual control or adjustment handle on machinery, equipment panels, and fixtures. The knob features a 1-9/64 inch head diameter, a 1/2 inch hub diameter, and accepts a 3/8-16 inch threaded female insert for secure mounting to a threaded shaft or stud. Overall height measures 1-15/32 inches, and the hole depth is 1/2 inch. This style of lever knob is commonly installed by machine builders, equipment technicians, and maintenance mechanics where a firm, hand-operable grip point is needed on adjustment mechanisms or clamping assemblies.

This lever knob is suited for use on industrial machinery, control panels, jigs, fixtures, and light fabrication equipment. The female insert mount type allows the knob to thread directly onto an existing 3/8-16 stud or bolt without additional hardware. Typical applications include feed handles, guard latches, and panel-mounted adjustment controls in manufacturing and maintenance environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or machine builders and requires no special tools beyond basic hand tools. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing control panels or adjustment mechanisms. Thread the knob onto the 3/8-16 stud by hand until fully seated, then verify the knob is secure before returning equipment to service. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the insert threads.
