Value Collection 1ADHDW-1038-G Aluminum Handwheel 3.15 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1ADHDW-1038-G is an aluminum handwheel with an integrated handle, designed for manual valve and equipment operation in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial service applications. The wheel measures 3.15 inches in diameter with a hub diameter of 1.02 inches and accepts a 0.375-inch threaded bore, making it a direct-fit solution for standard valve stems and shafts. The handle extends 1.57 inches, providing adequate grip leverage for operators working in tight mechanical spaces. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians install this type of handwheel when replacing worn or missing controls on gate valves, ball valves, and similar manually operated equipment.

This handwheel is suited for residential and light commercial applications where manual flow control or equipment adjustment is required. Typical installations include valve replacement on water supply lines, HVAC zone control valves, and general-purpose mechanical equipment requiring a threaded-bore handwheel. The 0.375-inch threaded hole accommodates standard valve stem sizes common across plumbing and HVAC supply systems. The aluminum construction keeps weight low while offering adequate durability for repeated manual operation in dry and low-moisture environments.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction provides lightweight, corrosion-resistant performance for manual valve applications
• 3.15-inch wheel diameter delivers sufficient leverage for smooth manual operation
• 0.375-inch threaded bore fits standard valve stems and threaded shafts
• 1.02-inch hub diameter accommodates typical valve stem hub sizing
• 1.57-inch integrated handle improves grip and torque in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or upgrade handwheel for manually operated valves and equipment with a 0.375-inch threaded stem, common across residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off flow and relieve system pressure before removing the existing handwheel or valve stem hardware. Confirm the stem thread pitch matches the 0.375-inch bore before installation to avoid cross-threading. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for valve service and ensure the valve is returned to its correct operational position after installation.
