Kipp K0269.3A41X40 Adjustable Clamping Handle 3/8-16

Product Description

The KIPP K0269.3A41X40 is a threaded stud adjustable clamping handle designed for secure tool-free fastening in machinery, fixtures, and industrial equipment. The handle features a fiberglass-reinforced plastic body with a steel stud, combining lightweight construction with resistance to chemicals and mechanical stress. It threads onto a 3/8-16 stud with a 1.57-inch threaded engagement length and delivers a handle length of 3.15 inches for controlled manual clamping torque. The black oxide-coated steel components resist corrosion in shop and light industrial environments. This part is installed by machine builders, maintenance technicians, and fixture assemblers working on mechanical assemblies that require repeatable hand-tightening.

This adjustable clamping handle is suited for use on jigs, fixtures, machine guards, and equipment panels where frequent adjustment or removal is required. The 20-degree handle arm angle provides ergonomic clearance in tight mounting locations. The fiberglass-reinforced plastic construction makes it a practical choice for applications where metal handles would add unnecessary weight or create electrical conductivity concerns. It is sold individually and requires no special tooling for installation.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 threaded stud mount for direct installation into standard tapped holes
• Fiberglass-reinforced plastic handle body - lightweight, chemical-resistant, and non-conductive
• Black oxide-coated steel stud and components for corrosion resistance
• 20-degree handle arm angle for ergonomic clearance in confined spaces
• REACH Compliant and RoHS Compliant - suitable for regulated industrial environments
• Grade 5.8 material specification on steel components

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit threaded stud clamping handle for machinery, fixtures, and equipment panels using 3/8-16 threaded mounting points.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with standard hand tools. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before threading the stud into place. Do not exceed hand-tightening torque appropriate for Grade 5.8 steel hardware - overtightening can damage the plastic handle body or strip the mating thread. Verify thread engagement depth against the 1.57-inch stud length before final assembly.
