Gibraltar LBT-131 Quick-release T-handle Pin 3/8 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-131 is a quick-release pin with a T-handle, designed for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and industrial equipment. The pin measures 3/8 inch in diameter with a usable length of 3/4 inch (0.750 inch). It is constructed from 4130 alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. This pin is installed by maintenance technicians, machinists, and industrial mechanics in applications requiring frequent disassembly or adjustment without the use of threaded fasteners.

This pin is suited for light-duty to medium-duty applications where a secure but removable connection is needed. Common installation scenarios include machine guards, tooling fixtures, hinged panels, and alignment jigs in manufacturing and fabrication environments. The T-handle configuration allows for hand-tightened grip during removal, making it practical in confined or repetitive-access locations. The inch-measurement system makes it compatible with standard imperial hardware setups common in North American industrial and trade settings.

Key Features

• Quick-release mechanism allows tool-free pin removal for fast disassembly
• T-handle design provides a secure grip for hand operation
• 3/8 inch pin diameter with 0.750 inch usable length for compact fitment
• 4130 alloy steel construction for strength in mechanical applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection
• Inch-measurement system compatible with standard imperial hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fitment for applications requiring a 3/8 inch diameter quick-release T-handle pin with a 3/4 inch usable length in imperial hardware configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand without special tools. Verify that the receiving hole diameter matches the 3/8 inch pin diameter before installation to ensure proper fitment and retention. Inspect the quick-release mechanism for full engagement after insertion to confirm the pin is locked in position before applying any load. Replace the pin if the release mechanism shows signs of wear or the pin body is visibly deformed.
