Gibraltar PKG-365-G Lobed Knob 25mm 7-point M5x0.8 Tpe

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR PKG-365-G is a 7-point lobed knob designed for manual fastening and adjustment applications across industrial, mechanical, and trade equipment. Molded from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), the knob provides a firm, comfortable grip that resists slipping during repeated hand-tightening cycles. The head measures 25 mm (0.98 inches) in diameter with an overall height of 16 mm (0.63 inches). It accepts an M5 x 0.8 threaded stem with a 10 mm (0.39 inches) thread engagement length. Licensed tradespeople and technicians in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical service use lobed knobs like this to secure panels, guards, covers, and adjustment fixtures without requiring tools.

This knob is suited for light-duty fastening on equipment panels, enclosure covers, jigs, fixtures, and adjustment mechanisms in both residential and commercial service environments. The M5 x 0.8 thread size is a common metric fastening standard found on a wide range of OEM equipment frames and assemblies. The TPE construction makes it appropriate for indoor applications where moderate temperature and chemical exposure are expected. Technicians working on control enclosures, equipment access panels, or shop fixtures will find this knob a practical hand-tightening solution.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — thread the knob onto a compatible M5 x 0.8 stud or bolt by hand. Before replacing or adjusting fastening hardware on energized or pressurized equipment, de-energize the system and relieve any stored pressure per applicable safety codes. Do not overtighten beyond hand-snug; TPE knobs are not rated for wrench torque. Confirm thread engagement depth is sufficient before returning equipment to service.
