Abstract
A handle (1) for gas burners, wherein a plug insert is locked in an axial direction by means of a lock (10) and rotation of the plug insert is fixed at a particular position. When the lock (10) is activated, the rotational locking can be released so as to modify the rotational position of the plug insert, without having to remove the plug insert from the handle.
