Built from Grade 1030 steel, this rod end features a 7\/8-inch shank diameter and a hole center-to-end measurement of 6 inches. The head outside diameter measures 1-11\/16 inches with a head thickness of 15\/16 inches. This type of hardware is used in mechanical linkage assemblies, control rods, and structural tie-rod applications across industrial, HVAC, and mechanical systems. Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, or mechanical contractors working on linkage and actuator assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rod end is suited for inch-measurement mechanical assemblies requiring a robust steel clevis or pivot point. The 7\/8-inch shank diameter and 6-inch hole center-to-end length make it appropriate for medium-duty linkage work in commercial HVAC actuator arms, industrial control mechanisms, and structural rod assemblies where a reliable pivot connection is needed. The Grade 1030 steel construction provides adequate tensile strength for general mechanical linkage service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 1030 steel construction for reliable mechanical strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\/8-inch shank diameter for medium-duty linkage applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-inch hole center-to-end length for extended reach installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-11\/16-inch head outside diameter for broad load distribution at the pivot point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInch measurement system for compatibility with standard US fastener assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal male thread configuration for direct integration into threaded rod or clevis systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for inch-system mechanical linkage assemblies using 7\/8-inch shank rod ends in industrial and commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of rod end fittings is typically performed by qualified mechanical or HVAC technicians. De-energize all associated actuators and relieve any mechanical tension in the linkage assembly before removing or installing the rod end. Ensure thread engagement meets minimum depth requirements per applicable mechanical codes before returning the assembly to service. Inspect mating threads and the pivot pin for wear or damage prior to installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1030\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole Center to End\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-11\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External Male Thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: GIBRALTAR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PR18150GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692655837490,"sku":"PR18150GB","price":30.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7f084392dc5efe1064bda302fd67bf13.jpg?v=1788300667","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-pr18150gb-steel-rod-end-7-8-inch-shank","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
