{"product_id":"gibraltar-kn4x-5x-s3-tapered-knob-polypropylene","title":"Gibraltar KN4X-5X-S3----- Tapered Knob Polypropylene","description":"\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GIBRALTAR KN4X-5X-S3----- is a self-fixing hole tapered knob manufactured from polypropylene. It accepts multiple thread sizes in a single unit, including 1\/4-20, 1\/4-28, 5\/16-18, 5\/16-24, M6, and M8, making it a versatile hand-adjustment component for panel assemblies, enclosures, jigs, and equipment covers. The knob measures 2 inches overall length with a 1.38-inch head diameter and a 0.75-inch base diameter. The self-fixing hole design grips the fastener without a set screw, allowing tool-free installation and removal. The black polypropylene body resists corrosion and is suited for both indoor and light industrial environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tapered knob is used wherever a hand-tightened adjustment point is needed on threaded hardware. Common applications include electrical enclosure latches, HVAC equipment access panels, test fixtures, and control cabinet assemblies. The multi-thread compatibility reduces the need to stock separate knobs for different fastener standards, which is useful for service technicians working across mixed-standard equipment. It is sold individually and is appropriate for new installations or replacement of worn or damaged hand knobs on existing assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts six thread sizes: 1\/4-20, 1\/4-28, 5\/16-18, 5\/16-24, M6, and M8 in a single self-fixing hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-fixing hole design grips fastener without tools or set screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolypropylene construction resists corrosion and chemical exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTapered head profile provides a secure, comfortable grip for hand tightening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact form factor at 2 inches overall length and 1.38-inch head diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.4 pounds per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with threaded fasteners in the 1\/4-20, 1\/4-28, 5\/16-18, 5\/16-24, M6, and M8 size range.

Ensure the mating fastener is clean and free of debris before seating the knob. For enclosure or panel applications on energized equipment, de-energize and lock out the circuit before servicing the assembly. The knob is not rated for torque-critical or high-vibration fastening applications where a mechanically retained knob or set-screw style would be more appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.38 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.71 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccepted Thread Sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20, 1\/4-28, 5\/16-18, 5\/16-24, M6, M8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Self-Fixing Hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polypropylene\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: KN4X-5X-S3-----\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716407492914,"sku":"KN4X-5X-S3-----","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/228c1ba3e288fd272a4d0d272c3bc585.jpg?v=1788525582","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-kn4x-5x-s3-tapered-knob-polypropylene","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
