Gibraltar LBL-SS7159 Quick-release Pin 1/2 in 5.5 in Ss

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBL-SS7159 is a quick-release pin with an L-handle, designed for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in industrial and mechanical assembly applications. The pin is machined from 17-4 stainless steel with a bright finish, offering good corrosion resistance and strength in demanding environments. The pin body measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a usable length of 5.5 inches. The L-handle provides positive grip and controlled actuation, making it practical for frequent disassembly cycles in jigs, fixtures, guards, and hinged assemblies. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers of this hardware.

This quick-release pin is suited for use in fabrication fixtures, machine guarding, tooling setups, and similar mechanical assemblies where a fast connect and disconnect is required without tools. The 17-4 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for washdown environments, food-adjacent machinery, and outdoor or corrosive-exposure conditions. The inch-based dimensions conform to standard U.S. tooling and fixture design. It ships as a single-piece unit and is stocked individually for replacement or new-build applications.

Key Features

• L-handle design allows tool-free, one-hand operation for rapid disassembly
• 0.5 inch pin diameter suits standard fixture and tooling hole patterns
• 5.5 inch usable length accommodates thicker assemblies and stacked components
• 17-4 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and high tensile strength
• Bright finish for clean appearance and ease of inspection
• Inch-dimensioned for compatibility with U.S. standard tooling and fixtures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or aftermarket quick-release fastener for use in inch-dimensioned jigs, fixtures, machine guards, and hinged mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.5 inch diameter pin hole.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, machinists, or millwrights as part of fixture assembly or machine guarding work. De-energize and lock out any associated machinery before servicing pinned assemblies, following OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the mating hole diameter and assembly thickness fall within the pin specifications before installation. Do not use quick-release pins as primary structural fasteners in load-bearing or shear-critical connections unless the assembly is rated for that application.
