Gibraltar LBT-SS7144 Quick-release T-handle Pin

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-SS7144 is a quick-release pin with a T-handle, engineered for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The pin features a 7/16 inch diameter and a 2.5 inch usable length, constructed from 17-4 stainless steel with a bright finish. The 17-4 grade alloy offers a strong combination of corrosion resistance and tensile strength, making it well suited for applications exposed to moisture, chemicals, or repeated cycling. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly line workers typically install and service this type of pin in jigs, fixtures, and structural linkages where frequent component changes are required.

This quick-release pin is used in applications where components must be secured and released repeatedly without tools. Common install scenarios include machine guarding, hinge assemblies, tooling fixtures, agricultural equipment, and material handling systems. The T-handle design provides a positive grip surface for hand operation in tight or awkward spaces. The bright stainless finish keeps the pin visually inspectable for wear or surface damage during routine maintenance checks.

Key Features

• 7/16 inch pin diameter with 2.5 inch usable length for secure through-hole engagement
• 17-4 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and high tensile strength
• Bright finish allows easy visual inspection for surface wear or pitting
• T-handle design enables tool-free, single-hand operation
• Quick-release mechanism supports fast component swaps in high-cycle environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit quick-release pin for applications requiring a 7/16 inch diameter pin with a 2.5 inch usable length in inch-system assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — insert the pin through aligned holes and the spring-loaded ball detent seats automatically to lock the pin in place. Before servicing any assembly that uses this pin, de-energize, depressurize, or otherwise isolate the equipment per the machine manufacturer's lockout/tagout procedure. Inspect the pin and detent ball for wear or corrosion before each installation in safety-critical applications. Replace the pin if the detent action feels loose or if surface pitting is visible.
