The tapered profile provides a secure grip without tooling, and the self-fixing mount style allows the knob to seat and hold directly onto a threaded fastener or stud. The knob measures 2.48 inches overall length with a 1.6-inch head diameter and a 1-inch base diameter. The threaded bore accommodates multiple thread sizes in a single part, reducing the need for multiple SKUs across a build or repair job. Color is black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis knob is suited for use in panel assemblies, equipment enclosures, jigs, fixtures, and light-duty machinery where a hand-tightenable control point is needed without a dedicated threaded insert. The self-fixing hole design makes it a practical choice for shops and field service environments where a single knob must fit a range of fastener sizes. It is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, equipment builders, and trade professionals working on control panels or mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-fixing hole mount accepts multiple thread sizes: 3\/8-16, 3\/8-24, 1\/2-13, 1\/2-20, M10, and M12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTapered knob profile for positive hand grip without tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.48-inch overall length with 1.6-inch head diameter and 1-inch base diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBore depth of 0.71 inches accommodates standard stud engagement lengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolypropylene construction offers corrosion resistance and lightweight handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish for standard panel and equipment applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement or add-on tapered hand knob for equipment panels, jigs, fixtures, and mechanical assemblies using threaded fasteners sized 3\/8-16, 3\/8-24, 1\/2-13, 1\/2-20, M10, or M12.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation does not require tools under normal hand-tightening conditions. Confirm the mating stud or fastener length does not exceed the 0.71-inch bore depth before seating the knob. For permanent or vibration-prone assemblies, verify the self-fixing retention is adequate for the application load. No power shutoff is required for mechanical knob replacement, but de-energize any associated equipment before performing panel work per applicable safety procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Self-Fixing Hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Thread Sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16, 3\/8-24, 1\/2-13, 1\/2-20, M10, M12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.71 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\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\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: KN6X-8X-S5-----\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710734401842,"sku":"KN6X-8X-S5-----","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/da6abf2068dedfbdbeca88bd15612d1e.jpg?v=1788469940","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-kn6x-8x-s5-self-fixing-tapered-knob","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
