The knob features a 1.6-inch head diameter, a 2.48-inch overall length, and a 0.7-inch hole depth with a 1\/2-13 threaded female insert. The base diameter measures 1.0 inch. The black finish and tapered profile are standard for hand-operated shift and control applications. Installation requires no adhesive or secondary fasteners — the female insert threads directly onto a matching male-threaded rod or shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tapered knob is suited for use on gear shift levers, control rods, and machine handles where a 1\/2-13 threaded interface is present. Typical install scenarios include OEM equipment replacement, industrial machinery controls, and aftermarket shift linkage upgrades. The compact form factor fits both light-duty and medium-duty hand-operated mechanisms. Technicians and maintenance professionals working on equipment with standard 1\/2-13 threaded shafts will find this a direct-fit solution requiring no modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFemale insert style threads directly onto 1\/2-13 male-threaded rods or shafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.6-inch head diameter provides a comfortable hand grip surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.48-inch overall length suits standard shift and control rod protrusion lengths\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.7-inch hole depth accommodates typical shaft engagement depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.0-inch base diameter tapers up to a 1.6-inch head for ergonomic control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack color finish for a clean, standard industrial appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket fit for equipment and machinery using a 1\/2-13 threaded male rod or shift shaft interface.

Ensure the equipment is powered down and all moving parts are at rest before servicing shift linkage or control rods. Thread the female insert onto the shaft by hand until snug, then tighten to a firm, non-slip engagement without over-torquing the insert. Confirm the knob is fully seated and does not wobble or back off under normal operating force before returning the equipment to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shift Knob\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Insert\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: 1.0 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Size (Thread)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2-13\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: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31162801\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: KN8C----S5---21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714499543346,"sku":"KN8C----S5---21","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/81b00c126910b242b919428c4c5934f0.jpg?v=1788502349","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-kn8c-s5-21-tapered-shift-knob-female-insert","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
