Gibraltar LN-2-PT-G L Handle Plunger 3/8-16 Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LN-2-PT-G is a steel L handle plunger designed for use in positioning, indexing, and workholding applications across industrial and trade settings. The plunger features a 3/8-16 thread size with a 0.62-inch thread length and a 0.25-inch plunger diameter. It delivers an initial end force of 0.25 pounds and a final end force of 1.25 pounds, making it suitable for light-duty clamping and locating tasks. A locking element is included to hold the plunger in the retracted position. The L-shaped handle provides a low-profile grip for quick manual operation without tools. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This plunger is used in fixtures, jigs, machine tools, and equipment panels where a manually retractable locating pin is needed. The compact body length of 1.13 inches and plunger projection of 0.3 inches make it well suited for tight-clearance installations. The 0.75-inch length under head provides adequate engagement depth in standard mounting applications. Its non-locking plunger type means the plunger returns to the extended position automatically unless the locking element is engaged.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 threaded L handle plunger for use in industrial fixtures, jigs, and tooling panels requiring a light-duty manually operated locating plunger.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a tapped 3/8-16 hole at the appropriate depth to match the thread length and length under head. Power down or de-energize any equipment before installing or servicing plungers mounted on live machinery or control panels. Use appropriate hand tools to thread the plunger body into the mounting hole without overtightening, as steel threads can gall if excessive torque is applied. Verify plunger projection clearance before returning the equipment to service.
