Gibraltar PKG-373-G Lobed Knob 32mm 7-point M6x1 Tpe

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR PKG-373-G is a 7-point lobed knob designed for hand-tightening applications where tools are not required or practical. Molded from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), the knob delivers a firm yet comfortable grip surface, making it well-suited for frequent adjustment cycles. The head measures 32 mm in diameter with an overall height of 20 mm. The threaded stem is M6x1 with a 25 mm thread length, allowing solid engagement in standard M6-tapped holes. Licensed trades and maintenance technicians commonly use lobed knobs on panels, guards, enclosures, and adjustment fixtures across HVAC, electrical, and mechanical equipment.

This knob is appropriate for light industrial and commercial applications where repeated manual adjustment or removal is needed without tooling. Typical uses include securing access panels, equipment guards, jigs, and enclosure covers. The 7-lobe profile distributes hand pressure evenly, reducing fatigue during repetitive operations. The TPE material resists moderate oils and shop fluids common in mechanical service environments. This part is sold and packaged as a single unit.

Key Features

• 7-lobe profile for comfortable, tool-free hand tightening and loosening
• 32 mm head diameter provides adequate grip area for gloved or bare hands
• Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) construction offers durability and grip-friendly surface texture

• Compact 20 mm overall height suits space-constrained mounting locations
• Single-piece unit — no assembly required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit lobed knob for equipment using standard M6x1 threaded inserts or studs, including panel assemblies, mechanical fixtures, and enclosure hardware.

Installation Notes

This knob is installed by hand onto any accessible M6x1 threaded stud or insert. De-energize or lock out equipment before replacing knobs on live electrical panels or powered machinery in accordance with applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify thread engagement depth is sufficient for the load before returning equipment to service. Do not overtighten — the TPE body is not rated for wrench-applied torque.
