Quick Disconnect Ball Joint 1/4" X 5/16" UNF Plated Steel (21207)

1/4" x 5/16" UNF Quick Disconnect Ball Joint – Plated Steel

The 21207 is a plated steel quick disconnect ball joint with a 1/4-28 UNF housing thread and 5/16-24 UNF stud. The different thread sizes make this ball joint useful where the control cable connection and operating mechanism require different thread dimensions.

The internal spring-loaded housing slides back to release the stud, allowing the connected cable or linkage to be disconnected quickly.

Common applications include push-pull control cables, shifter cables, throttle cables and mechanical linkage systems.
