Gibraltar LLS-3-PT-G Locking L Handle Plunger 3/8-16

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LLS-3-PT-G is a stainless steel locking L handle plunger designed for indexing, positioning, and clamping applications in industrial and trade equipment. The plunger features a 3/8-16 thread with a 1.18-inch thread length and a 0.25-inch plunger diameter. The locking mechanism holds the plunger in the retracted or extended position, preventing unintended movement under vibration or load. Initial end force is 0.75 pounds, with a final end force of 3.75 pounds. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for demanding service environments. Total body length is 2 inches and overall weight is 0.15 pounds.

This plunger is suited for use in machine tool setups, equipment panels, fixture assemblies, and enclosure hardware where a secure, hand-operable locking plunger is required. The L handle configuration allows for tool-free operation in tight or recessed spaces. Applicable in both light industrial and commercial maintenance contexts where repeatable positioning is critical.

Key Features

• Locking plunger holds position under vibration without additional fasteners
• 3/8-16 thread for standard compatibility with threaded fixtures and panels
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or harsh environments
• 0.56-inch plunger projection provides positive engagement depth
• L handle design enables tool-free hand operation in confined areas
• Low initial force (0.75 pounds) with firm final seating force (3.75 pounds)

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 threaded locking plunger for use in industrial fixtures, equipment panels, and assemblies that require a hand-operated, self-locking positioning plunger.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a pre-tapped 3/8-16 hole in the target assembly. Ensure the receiving thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing or replacing plunger hardware. No special tools are required for hand-tightening, though a wrench may be applied to the hex feature for final torque if needed per the equipment manufacturer guidelines.
