Bowmalloy 36081 Hex Head Cap Screw 7/16-14 X 1.5 in Grade 9

Product Description

The BOWMALLOY 36081 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications across industrial, mechanical, and trade installations. It carries a 7/16-14 thread size and measures 1.5 inches under the head. Manufactured from Grade 9 alloy steel with a zinc-plated clear chromate finish, this fastener delivers above-average tensile strength compared to standard Grade 5 and Grade 8 hardware, along with corrosion resistance suited to demanding service environments. Licensed tradespeople working in HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture framing, structural bracketing, and general mechanical assembly rely on Grade 9 hardware where high clamp load and fatigue resistance are required.

This cap screw is appropriate for use in both residential and light commercial applications wherever a 7/16-14 UNC threaded fastener is specified. Typical installation scenarios include equipment base mounting, structural steel connections, machinery assembly, and aftermarket equipment installation. The clear chromate zinc plating provides a degree of protection against oxidation in indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. Package quantity is 50 pieces per pack with a minimum order quantity of 1 pack.

Key Features

• Grade 9 alloy steel construction provides high tensile and proof load ratings beyond standard Grade 8 fasteners
• 7/16-14 UNC fully threaded profile ensures maximum thread engagement across the full shank length
• Zinc-plated clear chromate finish adds corrosion resistance for demanding service conditions
• Standard hex head drive accepts common 11/16-inch hex wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and aftermarket replacement fastener for any application specifying a 7/16-14 UNC hex head cap screw at 1.5 inches in length with Grade 9 alloy steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation of Grade 9 hex head cap screws should be performed by a qualified mechanic or licensed tradesperson familiar with proper fastener torque procedures. Always power down or de-energize any equipment before replacing structural fasteners. Use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the equipment manufacturer's torque specifications for the given joint application. Never mix Grade 9 hardware with lower-grade nuts or tapped holes that are not rated for the corresponding clamp load.
