Kipp K0269.2A31X30 Adjustable Clamping Handle 5/16-18

Product Description

The KIPP K0269.2A31X30 is a threaded stud adjustable clamping handle designed for secure, tool-free fastening and adjustment in industrial and machine assembly applications. The handle body is molded from fiberglass-reinforced plastic in a modern arm style, offering resistance to chemicals and impact while keeping weight low at 0.09 pounds. The steel stud and internal components carry a black oxide finish and are rated to Grade 5.8, providing reliable clamping force through a 5/16-18 threaded connection. The 20-degree handle arm angle and 2.56-inch handle radius give the operator a controlled grip for tightening and releasing under load. This part is installed by machine builders, maintenance technicians, and industrial assembly professionals.

This adjustable clamping handle is suited for use on machine tools, fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and industrial equipment where frequent hand-adjustment is required. The threaded stud mount allows direct installation into tapped holes on equipment panels, frames, and assemblies. The fiberglass-reinforced plastic body withstands exposure to oils, coolants, and typical shop-floor environments. The compact profile with a 0.71-inch hub diameter and 0.45-inch body height fits in tight panel locations without interfering with adjacent components. This handle is appropriate for both light manufacturing and maintenance applications where a reliable, repeatable clamping action is needed without tools.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit adjustable clamping handle for industrial machinery, fixtures, and equipment with 5/16-18 tapped mounting holes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machine builders or maintenance technicians familiar with threaded fastener assemblies. Power down or de-energize any equipment before replacing or installing clamping handles on live machinery. Thread the stud into the tapped hole by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then tighten to the equipment manufacturer's specified torque. Inspect the stud threads and mating hole for damage before installation to ensure full thread engagement.
