Gibraltar KN6X-8X-B7--R-- Ball Knob 1-7/8 in Red

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR KN6X-8X-B7--R-- is a ball-style control knob made from red polypropylene, designed for use on threaded shafts across industrial, mechanical, and light equipment applications. It measures 1.88 inches in diameter and 1.75 inches in height, with a hub diameter of 1 inch. The knob accepts multiple thread sizes, making it a versatile fit for a range of machines and panels. Its molded polypropylene construction provides resistance to common shop chemicals and repeated handling. Electricians, machine technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals install this type of knob on control panels, valves, jigs, and fixtures.

This knob is suited for residential and commercial equipment panels, industrial machinery controls, and custom fabrication applications where a secure, easy-grip fastener is needed. The red color provides visual identification on control surfaces. The 0.71-inch hole depth accommodates standard threaded inserts and shaft lengths within its listed thread size range.
