Gibraltar LBT-SS7159 Quick-release T-handle Pin 1/2 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-SS7159 is a T-handle quick-release pin designed for fast, tool-free pin removal in mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and structural connections. It features a 0.5 inch pin diameter and a 5.5 inch usable length, making it suitable for applications requiring secure but rapidly removable fastening. The pin body is machined from 17-4 stainless steel with a bright finish, providing strong corrosion resistance and high tensile strength in demanding environments. This style of quick-release pin is a standard hardware item installed by maintenance technicians, fabricators, and mechanical assemblers across industrial and commercial settings.

This pin is suited for use in production fixtures, material handling equipment, gates, guards, and mechanical linkages where repeated removal and reinstallation is required without tools. The T-handle design allows single-hand operation, which is practical in confined spaces or during high-frequency adjustment cycles. Typical applications include agricultural equipment, conveyor systems, and structural jig work where a 0.5 inch diameter pin with 5.5 inches of usable engagement length fits the assembly design.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use quick-release pin for mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment requiring a 0.5 inch diameter T-handle pin with 5.5 inches of usable length in an inch-measurement system.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — align the pin with the receiving hole and push through until the detent ball engages and locks. Before removal or replacement in live machinery, de-energize or lock out the equipment per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify the receiving hole diameter matches the 0.5 inch pin diameter and that the usable length provides full engagement through all mating components. Inspect the detent mechanism and ball for wear before placing the pin back into service.
