Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Connection Planning

Select the correct mounting style

The available tee knobs include threaded-stud styles as well as tapped-thread and tapped blind-bore styles. A threaded stud is intended for a matching threaded mounting point, while a tapped bore supports installation on a compatible threaded component.

  • Threaded stud sizes include M6 x 1, M8 x 1.25, 5/16-18, and 3/8-16.
  • Tapped options include M8 x 1.25, M10 x 1.5, and 1/4-20 connections.
  • Specified stud lengths of 20 mm are available on selected M6 x 1 and M8 x 1.25 technopolymer handles.
  • Selected tapped bores list an H9 blind-bore tolerance.
Grip and Material Planning

Balance handhold size with the operating environment

T-handle and T-bar profiles provide a broad surface for hand-operated turning and clamping. Compare the listed handle diameter when replacing existing hardware or planning fit around equipment components.

  • Listed handle diameters include 55 mm, 67 mm, and 80 mm.
  • Aluminum provides a metal handle for manual operating and clamping applications.
  • Technopolymer handles are listed for temperatures up to 265°F (130°C where stated).
  • Nylon T-bar knobs resist solvents, oils, grease, and other chemical agents, with a stated heat resistance of 110°C.
Fit Planning

Check thread, reach, and available space

Before selecting a tee knob, verify the exact thread designation on the receiving component. For stud-mounted options, review the stated stud length when provided. Also consider whether the 55 mm, 67 mm, or 80 mm handle size is appropriate for the available operating space and desired handhold.

  • Do not substitute metric and inch thread designations without confirming compatibility.
  • Choose a threaded stud for a compatible threaded mounting location.
  • Choose a tapped thread or blind bore for a compatible threaded component.
  • Use the stated temperature limit as part of application planning.
