Gibraltar G10-4302HN Fluted Knob Nylon 3/8-16 Stem

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G10-4302HN is a fluted hand knob with a 2.5-inch head diameter and a nylon body, designed for use as a manual adjustment or clamping control in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The knob features a 3/8-16 threaded stem with a 1-inch thread length, allowing direct threading onto standard machine screws or studded hardware. With a hub diameter of 0.8125 inches and a total weight of 0.096 pounds, this knob suits applications where tool-free hand adjustment is required. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and equipment assemblers are the primary installers.

This fluted knob is suited for use on jigs, fixtures, machine guards, panels, and light industrial equipment where frequent manual adjustments are made without tooling. The nylon construction makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance or electrical non-conductivity is needed. Its 3/8-16 thread is a common standard fastener size, making it a straightforward drop-in fit on a wide range of equipment and assemblies already using that thread specification.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or OEM-style fluted hand knob for industrial machinery, fixtures, jigs, and equipment using 3/8-16 threaded studs or fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machine builders, maintenance technicians, or equipment assemblers using hand tools only. Before replacing a knob on any powered or pressurized equipment, shut down the system and relieve any stored energy per applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Thread the knob onto a 3/8-16 stud or threaded insert by hand until snug. Do not use power tools to install nylon-body knobs, as overtightening can crack the hub or strip the thread insert.
