Gibraltar G10-0145-B Ball Knob Female Insert Phenolic

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-0145-B is a phenolic ball knob with a female insert mount, designed for use as a hand-operated control knob on machinery, fixtures, jigs, and industrial equipment. The knob measures 1-3/8 inches in diameter and 1-3/8 inches in height, with a smooth grip surface and a black finish. It accepts a 5/16-18 threaded insert with a hole depth of 1/2 inch, making it a direct-install component for standard threaded stud or bolt applications. Machinists, equipment builders, and maintenance technicians install this type of knob where frequent manual adjustment is needed without tools.

This knob is suited for light to medium-duty applications in manufacturing, woodworking, and general industrial settings. It fits wherever a 5/16-18 threaded stud is present and a low-profile, hand-operated control point is required. The phenolic construction handles moderate heat and resists oils and common shop chemicals, making it a practical choice for machine tool handles, fixture clamping knobs, and panel-mounted adjustment points.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools — thread the female insert onto a 5/16-18 stud or bolt by hand. Ensure the mating stud or bolt thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing components in the work area. Do not over-torque; phenolic knobs are hand-tightened only.
