Kipp K0124.3A3 Adjustable Clamping Handle 5/16-18

Product Description

The KIPP K0124.3A3 is a female threaded insert adjustable clamping handle constructed from stainless steel and designed for secure, tool-free clamping in industrial and mechanical applications. The handle features a 5/16-18 threaded hole with a 0.55 inch threaded engagement depth and a 0.94 inch hole depth, allowing reliable fastening to threaded studs or bolts. The arm is finished with an electrolytic polish and set at a 20-degree angle for ergonomic grip and clearance in tight assemblies. At 3.15 inches in overall length and 2.30 inches in overall height, it is suited to light-duty clamping tasks on fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and machinery panels. Weighing 0.13 pounds, it is a lightweight but durable solution for repeated adjust-and-lock operations.

This handle is used in industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical service environments where frequent manual adjustments are required without tooling. Common applications include machine tool fixtures, panel assemblies, enclosure latching, and equipment guards. The stainless steel construction in AISI 316 and AISI 303 makes it suitable for environments where corrosion resistance is a priority, such as food processing, washdown areas, and marine or chemical-adjacent settings. Installation is straightforward: the threaded insert accepts a 5/16-18 stud or bolt already present on the assembly.

Key Features

• Female 5/16-18 threaded insert accepts standard studs or bolts for fast, tool-free clamping
• AISI 316 and AISI 303 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Electrolytic polished handle arm with bright-finished components for a clean, low-contamination surface
• 20-degree handle arm angle improves ergonomics and provides clearance in confined assemblies
• Compact at 3.15 inches overall length and 0.13 pounds for use in space-constrained applications
• Hub diameter of 0.63 inches and body diameter of 0.83 inches for consistent fitment on standard hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or original-fit adjustable clamping handle for assemblies using a 5/16-18 threaded stud or bolt. Suitable for fixture, jig, and panel hardware applications requiring a female threaded insert handle in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the handle onto an existing 5/16-18 male stud or bolt in the assembly. Ensure the mating stud thread condition is clean and undamaged before engaging the insert. Disengage or de-energize any associated machinery before adjusting or repositioning clamping hardware on live equipment. No special tooling is required for installation; hand-tightening to the application clamping requirement is typical for this handle type.
