Kipp K0269.3A31 Adjustable Clamping Handle 5/16-18

Product Description

The KIPP K0269.3A31 is an adjustable tension lever clamping handle designed for secure, tool-free clamping in industrial and mechanical assembly applications. The handle features a 5/16-18 threaded hole connection with a 0.55 inch threaded engagement depth, a fiberglass-reinforced plastic body in black, and steel internal components with a black oxide finish. At 3.15 inches in handle length and a hub diameter of 0.85 inches, this compact handle delivers a firm grip and repeatable clamping force. It is installed by maintenance technicians and machine builders working with fixtures, jigs, guards, and adjustable equipment panels.

This clamping handle suits light-duty to medium-duty industrial positioning and clamping tasks. The 20-degree handle arm angle allows comfortable actuation in confined spaces or on angled mounting surfaces. Typical applications include machine tool fixtures, enclosure panels, conveyor guards, and production equipment where frequent adjustment or repositioning is required without tools. The threaded hole mount style makes installation straightforward on any compatible threaded stud or bolt arrangement.

Key Features

• Adjustable tension lever design allows repositioning of the handle arm for optimal actuation angle
• 5/16-18 threaded hole connection with 0.55 inch thread engagement depth
• Fiberglass-reinforced plastic handle body resists corrosion and reduces overall weight
• Steel components with black oxide finish for added wear and corrosion resistance
• 20-degree handle arm angle suits angled or recessed mounting positions
• REACH Compliant and RoHS Compliant

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or aftermarket replacement clamping handle for industrial fixtures, machine guards, and adjustable mechanical assemblies using a 5/16-18 threaded stud or bolt interface.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians or machine builders and requires no special tools beyond what is needed to prepare the mounting stud. Confirm the mating thread is 5/16-18 and that the stud length is appropriate for the 0.55 inch threaded engagement depth before assembly. Do not overtighten the clamping mechanism, as the handle body is fiberglass-reinforced plastic and may crack under excessive torque. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of burrs before threading the handle onto the stud.
