Gibraltar LBH-143 Quick-release Pin 1/2 in Ring Handle

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBH-143 is a ring-handle quick-release pin designed for fast, tool-free pin removal in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and equipment linkages. The pin measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a 1.5-inch usable length, making it well-suited for light-to-medium-duty fastening applications where frequent disassembly is required. Constructed from 4130 alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, it offers solid structural integrity and corrosion resistance in shop and field environments. Licensed contractors, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on equipment panels, guards, and hinged assemblies commonly specify this type of pin.

This pin is a standard inch-measurement fastener appropriate for use in residential and commercial maintenance applications, industrial equipment, HVAC unit panels, electrical enclosures, and mechanical linkage points where a captive or threaded fastener is not practical. The ring handle allows fast one-handed removal without tools, which is particularly useful in applications requiring repeated access or adjustment. Sold individually, it fits applications calling for a 0.5-inch diameter quick-release pin with a 1.5-inch usable length.

Key Features

• Ring handle design allows tool-free, one-handed pin removal and insertion
• 4130 alloy steel construction provides high strength-to-weight ratio for demanding mechanical applications
• Zinc-plated finish adds corrosion resistance for shop, field, and light outdoor use
• 0.5-inch pin diameter and 1.5-inch usable length suit a wide range of standard fastening points
• Inch-system dimensions for straightforward replacement in standard U.S. mechanical assemblies
• Lightweight at 0.16 pounds — minimal added weight in panel or equipment applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-specification quick-release pin for mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, jigs, and fixtures requiring a 0.5-inch diameter pin with 1.5 inches of usable engagement length in inch-measurement systems.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — align the pin with the mating hole and press until the locking detent engages. Before servicing any equipment to replace or install this pin, de-energize electrical systems and relieve any stored mechanical or pneumatic pressure per applicable safety procedures. Verify the hole diameter and usable length requirements of the assembly before installation to confirm proper fit and load capacity.
