We currently have the 11/32" crank handles for our kitchen windows and are wondering if we can replace them with the T handle 11/32" so as to achieve a lower profile. Please advise.

Sure, you could probably use our 39-102 with no problem. Keep in mind however that this doesn't lower the profile by all that much. You may be better off with the 39-205 fold-down crank. I think this lowers the profile the most of all our options.

If your goal is to install blinds over the windows, then it's important to know that pretty much no option will give you the clearance you seek. Truth did not consider future blind installation when they designed their hardware and have never really designed anything to work in that capacity. It's something we run into a lot. The only solution would be to install the blinds far enough away from the cranks that they can still operate, if possible.
