Kipp K0269.3A41X60 Adjustable Clamping Handle 3/8-16

Product Description

The KIPP K0269.3A41X60 is a threaded stud adjustable clamping handle designed for secure, tool-free clamping and positioning applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The handle features a fiberglass-reinforced plastic body in a modern arm style, paired with a steel stud finished in black oxide. The 3/8-16 threaded stud extends 2.36 inches and provides reliable engagement in standard threaded receivers. At 3.15 inches in handle length and 2.28 inches in overall height, this handle suits tight-clearance installations. It is installed and adjusted by hand, making it a practical choice for fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and machine guards where frequent repositioning is required.

This adjustable clamping handle is suited for light industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical maintenance environments. It fits applications where operators need repeatable hand-tightening without tools, such as access panels, machine guards, positioning fixtures, and workholding equipment. The 20-degree arm angle aids ergonomic grip and reduces hand fatigue during repeated adjustments. The steel stud material specification of Grade 5.8 supports moderate clamping loads typical of industrial fixture work. Licensed tradespeople and machine builders working on fabrication equipment, automated machinery, or HVAC cabinet assemblies are the typical installers.

Key Features

• Fiberglass-reinforced plastic handle body resists corrosion and reduces weight
• Steel stud with black oxide finish rated to material specification Grade 5.8
• 3/8-16 threaded stud for compatibility with standard inch-series threaded inserts and nuts
• 20-degree handle arm angle for ergonomic grip and reduced hand fatigue
• REACH Compliant and RoHS Compliant for use in regulated industrial environments
• Modern arm style with 0.85 inch hub diameter for a low-profile footprint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit adjustable clamping handle for assemblies using 3/8-16 threaded stud mount points in light industrial fixtures, machine guards, and enclosure panels.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools - thread the stud into a 3/8-16 tapped hole or mating nut by hand and tighten to the clamping position required by the application. Ensure the mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation to avoid cross-threading. Do not exceed the clamping load ratings appropriate for a Grade 5.8 steel fastener at this thread size. Replacement or initial installation is typically performed by machine builders, maintenance technicians, or HVAC cabinet assemblers.
