Gibraltar LBT-118 Quick-release T-handle Pin 1/4 in 3.5 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-118 is a T-handle quick-release pin designed for fast, tool-free securing and removal of components in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and industrial equipment. The pin measures 0.25 inches in diameter with a 3.5-inch usable length, making it well suited for applications that require frequent disassembly or adjustment. Constructed from 4130 alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, it offers solid strength and corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. The T-handle configuration provides a positive grip for hand-operated insertion and extraction without the need for tools.

This quick-release pin is used across a range of mechanical, industrial, and trade applications where temporary fastening or pivot connections are needed. Typical install scenarios include equipment panels, hinged guards, jigs, fixtures, and maintenance access points on HVAC units, mechanical systems, and fabricated assemblies. Its inch-measurement sizing makes it compatible with standard hardware layouts used in North American equipment manufacturing and field service work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket quick-release pin for mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, and fixtures requiring a 0.25-inch diameter T-handle pin with a 3.5-inch usable length.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal require no tools due to the T-handle design. Ensure the receiving bore is clear of debris and properly aligned before inserting the pin. Verify that the pin is fully seated and the release mechanism is engaged before returning the assembly to service. Follow applicable machinery safety lockout and tagout procedures before servicing equipment that uses this pin.
