Gibraltar LBT-151 Quick-release T-handle Pin 0.5 in 5 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-151 is a quick-release pin with a T-handle, designed for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in industrial, mechanical, and structural assembly applications. The pin measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a 5-inch usable length, giving it reach for moderate-depth through-hole applications. It is machined from 4130 alloy steel and finished with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and fabricators use this type of pin where frequent disassembly is required without threaded fasteners or tools.

This pin suits applications in jigs, fixtures, machine guards, hinged panels, and tooling setups where a secure but releasable connection is needed. The T-handle provides a positive grip for quick actuation in tight or repetitive-access locations. It is suited for both production floor and field maintenance environments where downtime for fastener removal is not acceptable. The inch-measurement standard makes it compatible with standard U.S. tooling and fixture designs.

Key Features

• Quick-release mechanism allows tool-free pin removal in seconds
• T-handle design provides secure grip for easy actuation
• 4130 alloy steel construction for strength in load-bearing fixture applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides baseline corrosion resistance
• 0.5-inch pin diameter and 5-inch usable length for moderate-depth through-hole fits
• Inch-standard dimensions compatible with U.S. tooling and fixture layouts

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension quick-release T-handle pin for use in jigs, fixtures, hinged assemblies, and mechanical tooling requiring a 0.5-inch diameter through-hole.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by inserting the pin through aligned through-holes in mating components and releasing the locking mechanism to secure. Ensure mating holes are clean, free of burrs, and match the 0.5-inch pin diameter before insertion. De-energize or lock out any machinery before installing or removing pins in live equipment per applicable LOTO procedures. Do not use this pin as a permanent structural fastener in applications requiring threaded or torqued connections.
