Kipp K0270.2A31X20 Adjustable Clamping Handle 5/16-18

Product Description

The KIPP K0270.2A31X20 is a threaded stud adjustable clamping handle designed for secure, tool-free clamping in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The handle body is molded from fiberglass-reinforced plastic in a modern arm style, providing a rigid, lightweight grip rated for repeated adjustment cycles. The stud and base components are stainless steel (AISI 303) with a bright finish, offering corrosion resistance in wet or chemical-exposure environments. Key dimensional specs include a 2.56-inch handle length, a 0.71-inch hub diameter, and a 0.79-inch stud length on a 5/16-18 threaded stud. Total overall height is 1.79 inches and the handle arm is positioned at a 20-degree angle. This part is typically installed by mechanical assemblers, machine builders, or maintenance technicians.

The K0270.2A31X20 is suited for use on machine tools, fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and industrial equipment requiring frequent manual clamping and release. The 5/16-18 thread is a common inch-series fastener size, making this handle a direct fit for a wide range of standard mounting bosses and threaded inserts. The compact profile and 2.56-inch handle radius make it appropriate for panel-mounted or space-constrained applications in both light industrial and laboratory settings.

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit adjustable clamping handle for assemblies using a 5/16-18 threaded stud mount. Suitable for standard inch-series threaded bosses and inserts commonly found on industrial machinery, fixtures, and enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation requires threading the stud into a compatible 5/16-18 tapped hole or threaded insert by hand or with a wrench applied to the stud flats. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing clamped assemblies. Do not overtighten the stud beyond the rated engagement depth of 0.79 inches to avoid stripping the mating thread.
