The plunger threads into a tapped hole using a 3\/8-16 thread and extends 0.375 inches when engaged. An integrated pull ring allows the plunger to be retracted manually without tools, releasing the locking position for adjustment or repositioning. Initial end force is 2 pounds, with a final end force of 4 pounds, providing reliable holding force in light-duty indexing and positioning applications. The steel construction gives it durability in industrial and mechanical service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pull ring plunger is suited for use in machinery, fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and equipment panels where a repeatable, tool-free locking point is needed. It is commonly installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on positioning mechanisms, sliding assemblies, and access doors. The 3\/8-16 thread size allows installation directly into standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, or other structural materials without additional hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking pull ring design allows tool-free retraction and release of the plunger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 thread with 1.2 inch thread length for secure engagement in tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring end force of 2 pounds initial to 4 pounds final for consistent indexing resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlunger diameter of 0.233 inches and projection of 0.375 inches for precise fit in receiver holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-steel construction for durability in industrial mechanical applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocking element included to secure the plunger position when required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 3\/8-16 threaded locking pull ring plunger suitable for installation in any tapped hole application requiring a spring-loaded positioning or indexing function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a tapped 3\/8-16 hole in the mating component. Thread the plunger in by hand and torque to the assembly requirement using a wrench on the head. Ensure the receiver hole for the plunger tip is correctly sized and positioned before final tightening. Disengage the plunger by pulling the ring before repositioning the assembly to avoid damage to the plunger tip or receiver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Locking Pull Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.233 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Projection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlunger Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.68 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.68 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.98 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInitial End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinal End Force\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocking Element\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: STPR38-PT-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GIBRALTAR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714133852466,"sku":"STPR38-PT-G","price":21.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b689d23608a6da8a701a659132401555.jpg?v=1788496694","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/gibraltar-stpr38-pt-g-locking-pull-ring-plunger-3-8-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
