Value Collection FCIHW-7501-8-G Offset Handwheel 8 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION FCIHW-7501-8-G is a spoked offset handwheel with a plain finish, designed for manual valve and machine control applications in industrial and mechanical environments. The wheel measures 8 inches in diameter with a 5/8-inch bore and features three spokes connecting the rim to a cast iron hub. The rim thickness is 0.9 inches and the wheel thickness is 2.4 inches, making it a robust choice for demanding service conditions. Installation is typically handled by maintenance technicians, millwrights, or plumbing and industrial equipment professionals who need reliable manual actuation on valves, presses, or machine tool assemblies.

This offset handwheel suits residential and commercial mechanical systems where manual control of valves, shutoffs, or machine axes is required. The offset design allows the operator to rotate the wheel without knuckle interference against flat surfaces or adjacent equipment. The plain finish makes it suitable for environments where painting or coating after installation is preferred, or where a bare metal surface is acceptable. The fine-grain iron construction provides durability in light to moderate industrial service settings.

Key Features

• 8-inch diameter with offset spoke configuration for clearance during manual operation
• Three spokes with fine-grain iron hub material for structural rigidity
• 5/8-inch bore diameter for direct mounting to standard valve or machine shafts
• Plain finish ready for field coating or bare-metal installation
• Rim thickness of 0.9 inches and wheel thickness of 2.4 inches for a solid grip profile
• Hub diameter of 2.32 inches for stable shaft engagement

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-mount replacement or new-installation handwheel for valves, machine tools, and industrial equipment fitted with a 5/8-inch shaft or bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified maintenance technicians or industrial mechanics. De-energize all connected systems and relieve any line pressure before removing or mounting a handwheel. Secure the wheel to the shaft using an appropriate key, setscrew, or retaining hardware rated for the application load. Verify bore alignment and shaft engagement before returning the equipment to service.
