Gibraltar LLS-5-G Locking L Handle Plunger 1/2-13

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LLS-5-G is a locking L handle plunger designed for use in industrial positioning, clamping, and indexing applications. Built from stainless steel, it features a 1/2-13 thread size with a thread length of 1.1 inches and a plunger diameter of 0.31 inches. The spring-loaded plunger delivers an initial end force of 1 pound and a final end force of 5 pounds, providing consistent, repeatable holding force. The L-style handle allows for quick manual actuation without tools, making it a practical choice for maintenance techs, machine builders, and assemblers who need reliable panel or fixture retention in a compact form factor.

This plunger is suited for light-duty industrial and mechanical applications including machine guards, access panels, enclosures, jigs, and fixtures. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance is a priority, such as food processing areas, wash-down environments, or outdoor enclosures. The 1/2-13 thread makes it compatible with standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and plastic panels. The locking L handle style allows the plunger to be retracted and held in the released position for hands-free access during service or changeover.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct install for standard 1/2-13 tapped panel or fixture applications requiring a spring-loaded locking plunger.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a pre-tapped 1/2-13 hole in the mating panel or fixture plate. Thread the plunger body in by hand, then tighten to the appropriate torque for the base material using a wrench on the 0.5 inch hex. Ensure the mating hole for the plunger nose is aligned and sized for the 0.31 inch plunger diameter. De-energize or lock out any associated machinery before servicing panels or fixtures that use this plunger as a retention device.
