Can this handle replace existing handle on 39-031 and 39-032 dual arm operators?

Hello, Bob! Yes, the 39-205 is fully compatible with the 39-031 and 39-032 operators.

Tom - Thanks for the reply. It turns out that we have 26 handles needing replacement that simply unscrew to be removed. However there are 3 additional handles that look similar, but do not have a screw. I'm not sure how those will be removed. Can you help? b

Sure, in all likelihood those are "clip on" type handles. What that means is they have little springs inside the hole that clamp onto the spline to secure it in place, in lieu of a set screw. There's no trick to removing this type of handle, they just pull off.

Our 39-114L is one such handle. These are actually 100% interchangeable with the 39-205. Indeed, they are identical in function and design except for the fact that the 39-205 has a set screw and folds. Otherwise there isn't really much of a difference.

Tom - we want to order 29 folding handles. My question is do we need to purchase the covers as well or will these handles work with the existing covers? Please see the attached picture. Thanks. Bob

Our handles will work perfectly fine with your old covers. The only issue will probably be that the colors won't match. Your old hardware appears to have the "champagne" finish, which is not something we can get from Truth anymore.

If you did want to replace the covers, then the 39-107 is the right part for the job.

Tom - I just purchased 29 folding crank handles 39-205. Probably should have bought the folding handle and cover kit. My bad. Nevertheless, we now want to change out the covers, so which cover is best to go with the 39-205 handles? b

The 39-107 is still the best cover for the job. This is compatible with all handle styles mentioned.
