3/8" x 3/8" UNF Quick Disconnect Ball Joint – Plated Steel

The 21212 is a 3/8" x 3/8" UNF quick disconnect ball joint designed for mechanical control cable and linkage applications requiring a larger UNF connection.

The housing and stud both use 3/8-24 UNF threading. An internal spring-loaded mechanism allows the housing to slide back and release the stud, making it convenient to disconnect the cable linkage for servicing, adjustment or maintenance.

The ball joint is manufactured from steel and has a zinc-plated finish. It is commonly used with push-pull cables, shifter cables, throttle cables and other mechanical linkage systems.
