Prime Line Products 17240-2-W Awning Crank Handle

Product Description

The PRIME LINE PRODUCTS 17240-2-W is a white diecast awning crank handle designed to operate casement and awning windows through a standard 3/8 inch bore spindle connection. The handle mounts to the awning operator and provides the mechanical leverage needed for smooth, controlled opening and closing of window sashes. It extends 2-11/16 inches out from the operator, giving the installer enough reach for comfortable hand operation without interference from the window frame or trim. The diecast construction provides durability and consistent torque transfer during daily use. Window and door installers, glaziers, and general contractors typically handle this replacement.

This crank handle is suited for residential and light commercial awning window applications where the existing handle has broken, stripped, or gone missing. It is intended for use with awning operators that accept a 3/8 inch bore spindle. The package contains 6 units, making it practical for multi-unit jobs or service stock. Compatible operators include the universal Prime Line parts H 3710 and H 3711, among other operators sharing the same spindle bore size.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by window and door technicians or general contractors.
