Gibraltar KNH1-HEXT5----- Wing Knob 1/4 Thread 2in Polypropylene

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR KNH1-HEXT5----- is a thru hex hole bar and wing knob designed for manual fastening and adjustment applications in industrial, mechanical, and equipment assembly settings. Built from polypropylene with a matte black finish, this knob accepts a 1/4 inch hole thread and features a 2 inch head length for comfortable hand tightening. The hub diameter measures 3/4 inches with a hub height of 0.49 inches. Its wing-style profile provides grip leverage without tools, making it well suited for panels, fixtures, jigs, and machinery that require frequent adjustment or removal by maintenance technicians and assemblers.

This knob is used in light industrial and mechanical assembly applications where a hand-operable fastener is needed on threaded rod, bolt, or stud hardware. The thru hex hole design allows the knob to seat over hex stock or be driven with standard tooling when needed. Typical installations include equipment enclosures, fixture clamping systems, conveyor guards, and adjustable machine components. The polypropylene construction resists mild chemicals and moisture, making it appropriate for environments where metal hardware would corrode or where non-conductive fasteners are preferred.

Key Features

• Thru hex hole design seats over hex stock or threaded rod for versatile mounting
• Wing knob profile allows hand tightening and loosening without tools
• Polypropylene construction resists moisture and mild chemical exposure
• Matte black finish reduces glare in operator-facing panel and fixture applications
• Compact hub at 3/4 inch diameter and 0.49 inch height suits space-constrained assemblies
• 1/4 inch hole thread fits standard fractional threaded rod and bolt hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for industrial assemblies, fixtures, and machinery using 1/4 inch threaded fastener hardware with thru hex hole knob mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians or equipment assemblers using standard hand tools. Confirm thread engagement is full and the knob seats flush against the mounting surface before applying load. Do not exceed the hand-tightening torque appropriate for polypropylene hardware, as over-torquing can crack the hub. No power tools are required for routine installation or removal.
