Gibraltar G10-2860-A Knurled Fluted Knob Plastic

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-2860-A is a knurled fluted knob with a female insert, designed for hand-tightening and adjustment applications in industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly settings. The knob features a 1-3/16 inch head diameter and is constructed from plastic, making it lightweight and suitable for non-corrosive environments. The female insert accepts a 5/16-18 threaded fastener, allowing it to be threaded directly onto a stud or bolt. This type of knob is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, equipment assemblers, and machine operators requiring tool-free manual adjustments.

This knurled fluted knob is used in a wide range of applications including control panels, equipment enclosures, jigs, fixtures, and general machine assembly. The fluted and knurled exterior profile improves grip and torque transfer by hand. The plastic construction makes it a practical choice in environments where metal knobs would add unnecessary weight or where corrosion resistance is needed. Typical installations are found in both light industrial and commercial equipment settings.
