Gibraltar LBT-SS7157 Quick-release T-handle Pin 1/2 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-SS7157 is a T-handle quick-release pin designed for fast, tool-free removal in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and industrial equipment. It features a 0.5 inch pin diameter and a 4.5 inch usable length, constructed from 17-4 stainless steel with a bright finish. The 17-4 grade provides high strength and good corrosion resistance, making it suited for applications where exposure to moisture or corrosive environments is a concern. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators install this type of pin when a removable connection point needs to be accessed frequently or quickly under operational conditions.

This quick-release pin is appropriate for use in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies including jigs, fixtures, tooling setups, and equipment panels. The T-handle allows finger-pull release without tools, reducing downtime during changeovers or maintenance cycles. It is commonly used in both production and field-service environments where repeated removal and reinstallation of components is required. The inch measurement system and standard 0.5 inch diameter make it compatible with a wide range of existing pin-hole configurations in industrial hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — insert the pin through aligned holes in the assembly and confirm the locking mechanism seats fully before applying load. Before servicing any assembly that uses this pin, de-energize or lock out the equipment per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify hole diameter and panel thickness against pin dimensions prior to installation to ensure proper engagement. Do not use this pin in applications that exceed its rated load capacity or subject it to significant side-loading without consulting engineering guidance.
