Gibraltar SBK-056-G Ball Knob 1 Inch Threaded Hole Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SBK-056-G is a steel ball knob with a threaded hole mount, designed for use as a hand-tightened control or adjustment knob on machinery, equipment panels, fixtures, and jigs. The knob measures 1 inch in diameter with a 3/8-16 threaded hole and a hole depth of 0.5 inches. The smooth grip surface and natural steel finish make it suitable for general industrial and mechanical applications. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trades use ball knobs like this one for securing access panels, adjusting damper linkages, and fastening equipment covers where tool-free operation is preferred.

This ball knob is suited for light-duty to medium-duty industrial applications where a compact, hand-operated fastener is needed. It fits standard 3/8-16 threaded rod or stud configurations commonly found in equipment assemblies, control panels, and fabricated fixtures. The natural steel finish is appropriate for interior or protected environments. Typical installations include panel mounting, jig and fixture assembly, and equipment adjustment points in commercial and industrial settings.
