Gibraltar WSS-023-G Knurled Knob Threaded Stem

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR WSS-023-G is a knurled knob with a threaded stem, constructed from stainless steel. The knob features a 1.5-inch head diameter and a 3/8-16 threaded stem, making it a standard fastening and adjustment component used in mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, and fixture mounting applications. The knurled outer surface provides a secure grip for hand-tightening without tools. At 0.42 pounds, it is a compact, durable hardware item suited for trade and industrial environments where corrosion resistance is required.

This knurled knob is suited for use in light industrial, mechanical, and equipment maintenance applications where a hand-adjustable threaded fastener is needed. The 3/8-16 thread is a common unified coarse thread pitch, fitting a wide range of standard threaded inserts, rods, and tapped holes found in equipment enclosures, machinery guards, and service panels. It is typically installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, or service professionals performing equipment assembly or field adjustments.

Installation Notes

This knob is installed by hand-threading onto a 3/8-16 threaded rod, insert, or tapped hole. De-energize or lock out any associated equipment before servicing fasteners on live machinery panels. Ensure threads are clean and free of debris before installation to prevent cross-threading. Do not use power tools to install this knob, as over-torquing may damage the knurled head or the mating threads.
