Gibraltar G10-0698-F Fluted Tapered Knob 1/2-13

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-0698-F is a fluted tapered knob with a female insert, manufactured from phenolic material and finished in black. It accepts a 1/2-13 threaded insert with a hole depth of approximately 1-1/32 inches. The knob measures 4-3/8 inches overall length, with a 1-3/8 inch head diameter and a 1 inch base diameter. Phenolic construction provides good resistance to heat, electrical conductivity, and chemical exposure, making it suitable for industrial and mechanical panel applications. This type of knob is installed by machine operators, equipment technicians, and maintenance professionals on control panels, jigs, fixtures, and machinery.

This knob is designed for use on control panels, mechanical assemblies, and industrial equipment where a secure, hand-adjustable grip is needed. The fluted taper profile improves manual torque and grip. It suits applications in manufacturing, HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and general-purpose machinery where a 1/2-13 threaded post or stud is present. The female insert design threads directly onto a fixed stud or bolt.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with light tooling on equipment that has been powered down and de-energized before service. Thread the female insert fully onto the 1/2-13 stud and tighten to a secure, snug fit without overtorquing the phenolic body. Verify stud projection does not exceed the 1-1/32 inch hole depth before installation. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and NEC or local electrical codes when installing on control panels or enclosures.
