Gibraltar G10-3081AE Female Insert Wing Knob M8x1.25

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-3081AE is a female insert bar and wing knob designed for manual clamping and adjustment applications in industrial, mechanical, and trade assembly setups. Molded from thermoplastic, this knob provides a lightweight yet durable gripping surface suited for hand-tightening fasteners in repetitive or tool-free service environments. The female insert accepts M8x1.25 threading with a 2.25-inch shank length and a 0.256-inch hole diameter. Hub diameter measures 0.75 inches, and the hole depth is 12.7mm. The black thermoplastic body resists common shop fluids and is sized for comfortable hand torque without tooling. Installed by mechanical technicians, assemblers, and trade professionals where tool-free adjustment is required.

This wing knob is suited for use in light industrial equipment, enclosures, machine guards, jig fixtures, and panel assemblies requiring frequent manual adjustment. The female insert design accepts a threaded stud or bolt already fixed in place, allowing the knob to be threaded on and off by hand. It is applicable in settings where repeated removal and reinstallation of panels, covers, or adjustment arms is part of routine workflow.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — thread the knob onto an existing M8x1.25 male stud by hand. Ensure the stud is clean and free of debris before installation to prevent cross-threading. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing panels or guards secured with this knob. Do not use impact tools or wrenches on the thermoplastic body, as this may cause cracking or thread damage.
