Threaded-Stud Knobs
Mount these knobs into a threaded hole. They provide a secure grip to position, tighten, and hold fixtures, equipment, and machinery.
Steel knobs are stronger than iron. They have a black-oxide finish for mild rust resistance.
Stainless steel knobs have excellent corrosion resistance, making them the best choice for harsh environments. They also have good chemical resistance.
Brass knobs have good corrosion resistance and are nonmagnetic.

Low-Friction Create-Your-Own Push/Pull Control Cables
A splined core limits contact points on the cable’s liner, so the core slides back and forth smoothly and keeps the cable from twisting. Pair these cables with a knob or lever (not included) to operate valves, throttle controls, and HVAC damper controls from a distance. They're flexible for weaving around obstructions.
Clamp-mount cables have threaded fittings on both ends and a grooved body for mounting with strap clamps or U-bolts.

Pull Control Cables
Similar to the brake cable on a bicycle, these cables exert pulling force so you can control components such as latches, release valves, and brakes. When you relax your pull, springs in your component pull the cable back. To connect these cables, anchor them on both ends through a panel or bulkhead using the included nuts. They have a steel core, but they’re flexible so you can weave them around obstacles and corners to connect to hard-to-reach components. Surrounding the cable is a plastic cover that stays in place as the cable slides through smoothly. The cover is durable and protects the cable from dirt and abrasion.
Once they’re connected, control these cables using a knob or handle. Some come with a knob attached, but add your own otherwise.
