Product Number: B16
A gas strut needs an articulating end that lets the panel swing as it opens; a ball joint provides exactly that. The Metrol B16 is a steel ball joint end fitting with an M14 thread, a 45mm body and a 20mm ball. Threaded onto the strut rod, it snaps over a same-size ball stud on the mounting bracket, giving a joint that swivels as the panel moves. Its M14 thread suits a gas strut with a 20mm rod. The ball sits on a M14 stud 28mm long behind the 45mm body, threading into the bracket socket side. It is one of a family of end fittings that connect a strut to its mounting — a ball joint to swivel freely, an eye to hinge on a pin, a clevis to pin in line, or a rose eye to take up misalignment. Sized for a 20mm rod, the fitting is matched by thread to the strut and by size to the fixing. It is found on display lids, counter hatches, canopy panels, loft hatches and similar panels.
