Gibraltar LLS-5-PT-G Locking L Handle Plunger

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LLS-5-PT-G is a stainless steel locking L handle plunger designed for precise indexing, positioning, and locking applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The plunger features a 1/2-13 thread with a thread length of 1.1 inches and a body length of 2.11 inches. The locking mechanism holds the plunger retracted until deliberately released, with an initial end force of 1 pound ramping to a final end force of 5 pounds. Licensed mechanics, machine builders, and maintenance technicians install this type of component in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and mechanical assemblies where controlled engagement and positive locking are required.

This plunger is suited for both light industrial and precision mechanical applications where a compact locking plunger with an L handle provides easy single-hand operation. The stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in environments exposed to moisture, cutting fluids, or wash-down conditions. Typical installations include fixture alignment pins, panel locking, and machine guarding systems.

Key Features

• Locking plunger design holds retracted position until manually released
• Stainless steel body and handle for corrosion resistance
• L handle configuration allows single-hand actuation
• 1/2-13 thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• End force range of 1 pound initial to 5 pounds final for positive engagement
• Plunger diameter of 0.31 inches with a plunger projection of 0.75 inches

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit locking L handle plunger for standard 1/2-13 tapped holes in industrial fixtures, machine tooling, and mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the plunger body into a standard 1/2-13 tapped hole to the specified length under head. Ensure the mating hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Use appropriate hand tools and do not overtighten, as this may damage the locking element or thread engagement. Confirm plunger projection and locking function after installation before returning the assembly to service.
