Dorman Control Cable 7 ft with 1-3/4" Chrome Handle — Push-Pull Replacement for Throttle & Choke

This replacement control cable from Dorman gives you a durable, cost-effective option for restoring mechanical control in marine, lawn, industrial, and household applications. Constructed from quality materials and fitted with a 1-3/4 inch chrome knob, the 55200 is offered in a universal 7-foot length that suits many throttle, choke, or actuator linkages. Choosing just the cable instead of a full assembly reduces labor and part costs while letting you keep compatible end fittings and mounts already in service.

How do I know if this cable fits my application?

Measure the required effective length and confirm the handle and inner-core style match your control setup. The Dorman 55200 is a 7-foot push-pull style option commonly used where a chrome knob and a longer reach are needed. If exact end-terminals or diameter differences matter, compare them to your existing cable before ordering.

• Overall length: 7 feet (measure from handle to cable tip for compatibility).
• Handle diameter: 1-3/4 inch chrome knob for a comfortable grip.
• Style: multipurpose—fits push-pull and some twist-to-lock applications.
• Suitable for throttle, choke, release, and actuator linkages.

What materials and build quality should I expect?

Dorman designs its control cables to withstand repeated use and exposure common to outdoor and industrial environments. The inner core and outer sheath use durable metals and protective coverings to resist kinking and wear, while the chrome handle resists corrosion and offers a smooth operating feel. Every part is backed by Dorman's technical support for installation guidance.

• High-quality inner core for consistent push-pull action.
• Robust outer jacket to protect against abrasion and moisture.
• Chrome-plated 1-3/4" handle for corrosion resistance and grip.
• Support available from Dorman's ASE Blue Seal Certified team.

How will installing only the cable save time and money?

Replacing the cable alone avoids the expense and labor of swapping out an entire control assembly or housing when the rest of the system is still serviceable. An installation typically requires basic hand tools and simple routing, so field or DIY repairs can often be completed quickly. This approach keeps existing mounts and brackets intact and reduces downtime for equipment in use.

• Lower part cost versus full assembly replacements.
• Faster installation when mounts and end fittings remain usable.
• Minimal tools and straightforward routing for common repairs.
• Reduces waste by reusing compatible components.

Are there variations or alternatives if this exact model doesn’t fit?

Dorman offers multiple control cable styles, lengths, diameters, and knob designs to match specific applications. If the 7-foot length or the 1-3/4" chrome handle doesn't suit your setup, check Dorman's catalog for other lengths and end configurations. Technical support can help you identify the right part number or variant for your device.

• Available in twist-to-lock and push-pull styles for different mechanisms.
• Varied lengths and diameters to match routing needs and force requirements.
• Different knob shapes and materials for comfort and environment.
• Dorman support can advise on the correct replacement option.

Who is this for? The Dorman 55200 control cable is suited for DIY mechanics, marine and lawn equipment owners, small shop technicians, and facility maintenance staff who need a reliable, straightforward replacement cable. It’s ideal when the existing control assembly mounts and fittings remain sound, and you want an economical, durable cable replacement backed by manufacturer's support.
