Gibraltar PKG-372-G Lobed Knob 32mm 7-point M6x1 Tpe

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR PKG-372-G is a 7-point lobed knob designed for hand-tightened fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and trade settings. Constructed from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), this knob delivers a firm, comfortable grip without tools. The lobed profile distributes hand torque across seven points, reducing fatigue during repeated adjustments. It mounts on an M6 x 1 threaded stem with a 20 mm thread length, and the head measures 32 mm in diameter. Licensed technicians, machine operators, and field service professionals use lobed knobs like this one for panel fasteners, jigs, fixtures, and equipment covers requiring frequent removal and reinstallation.

This lobed knob is suited for light industrial and trade applications where tool-free fastening is preferred. Typical installations include equipment enclosure panels, positioning fixtures, guards, and adjustment assemblies in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical service environments. The M6 x 1 thread size is a common metric fastener standard found across a wide range of equipment platforms. The overall installed height is 20 mm, making it compatible with shallow-profile mounting locations where clearance is limited.

Key Features

• 7-point lobed profile for increased hand torque and comfortable grip without tools
• Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) construction resists oils, provides tactile grip, and withstands repeated use
• 32 mm head diameter provides sufficient leverage for secure hand-tightening
• M6 x 1 metric threaded stem fits a widely used fastener standard
• 20 mm thread length suitable for standard panel and fixture mounting depths
• Compact 20 mm overall height suits tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit knob for equipment and assemblies using M6 x 1 threaded fastener positions requiring a lobed, hand-operated control knob.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require special tools — the lobed knob is designed for hand-tightening onto an M6 x 1 threaded stud or bolt. Before replacing an existing knob, ensure the mating thread is clean and undamaged. Verify thread engagement depth does not exceed the 20 mm thread length to avoid bottoming out. Follow equipment manufacturer guidelines for any torque or locking requirements in safety-critical applications.
