Gibraltar LBT-SS7171 Quick-release Pin 5/8 in 6 in 17-4 Ss

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-SS7171 is a T-handle quick-release pin designed for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in industrial, mechanical, and fabrication applications. The pin measures 5/8 inch in diameter with a 6-inch usable length, constructed from 17-4 stainless steel with a bright finish. The T-handle configuration provides a positive grip for repeated cycling without additional hardware. At 0.738 pounds, it is lightweight enough for frequent manual handling while offering the corrosion resistance and strength expected from 17-4 grade stainless. Technicians, machinists, and maintenance professionals working with jigs, fixtures, guards, and structural assemblies are the primary installers of this component.

This quick-release pin is suited for use in industrial maintenance, manufacturing fixtures, safety guards, material handling equipment, and mechanical assemblies where components require frequent alignment, adjustment, or removal. The T-handle style is common in applications where operators need to release or secure a connection quickly without tools. The bright finish on the 17-4 stainless steel body provides good corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor environments exposed to moisture or mild chemicals.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement quick-release pin for industrial fixtures, mechanical assemblies, and equipment requiring a 5/8 inch diameter T-handle pin with a 6-inch usable length in 17-4 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, machinists, or equipment operators and requires no special tools. Before replacing or repositioning the pin in an active assembly, ensure the connected structure is de-energized, depressurized, or fully supported as appropriate for the application. Verify that the receiving holes are clean and properly aligned before inserting the pin to avoid damaging the detent mechanism. Follow applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures when servicing guarded machinery.
