Gibraltar LBT-116 Quick-release T-handle Pin 1/4 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-116 is a T-handle quick-release pin designed for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and equipment linkages. The pin measures 0.25 inches in diameter with a 2.5-inch usable length, providing a secure fit across a range of panel thicknesses and mounting configurations. Constructed from 4130 alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, it resists corrosion and handles repeated cycling without deformation. The T-handle grip allows single-hand operation, making it well suited for applications where frequent pin removal is required during setup, adjustment, or maintenance work.

This pin is used in light industrial, agricultural, and fabrication settings where removable fastening is preferred over permanent hardware. Typical applications include equipment guard removal, adjustable stop positioning, clevis connections, and tooling fixtures. The zinc-plated finish makes it appropriate for indoor and light-duty outdoor use. It is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, machinists, fabricators, and equipment assemblers working with structural steel frames, carts, conveyors, and similar assemblies.

Key Features

• T-handle design allows tool-free, single-hand pin release
• 0.25-inch pin diameter suits common hole patterns in light structural and fabricated assemblies
• 2.5-inch usable length accommodates a range of panel and bracket thicknesses
• 4130 alloy steel construction provides strength and resistance to bending under load
• Zinc-plated finish adds corrosion resistance for indoor and moderate-exposure environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension quick-release pin for use in fixtures, jigs, carts, and equipment assemblies requiring a 0.25-inch diameter removable pin with a 2.5-inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Ensure the receiving hole diameter matches the 0.25-inch pin diameter for proper fitment and reliable retention of the ball-detent mechanism. Inspect the detent balls and spring for wear or debris before installation and during routine maintenance. Do not force the pin into an undersized or misaligned hole, as this can damage the detent mechanism. No special tools are required for installation or removal.
