Bowmalloy 36214 Hex Head Cap Screw 1-8 X 2 in Grade 9

Product Description

The BOWMALLOY 36214 is a Grade 9 alloy steel hex head cap screw built for high-strength fastening applications where structural integrity and corrosion resistance matter. Measuring 1-8 thread size by 2 inches in length under head, this fully threaded fastener carries a zinc-plated clear chromate finish that provides a baseline barrier against rust and oxidation. Grade 9 designation indicates a high-strength classification exceeding Grade 8 tensile requirements, making it well suited for demanding mechanical and structural assemblies. Tradespeople working in heavy equipment, industrial machinery, or structural fabrication rely on this grade for joints that must hold under high load and vibration.

This cap screw is designed for use in inch-standard fastening applications across industrial, mechanical, and commercial construction environments. The fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement throughout the fastener length, which is an advantage in through-bolt and nut-and-bolt configurations. The hex head drive style is compatible with standard hex sockets and open-end wrenches, keeping installation straightforward in the field or on the shop floor.

Key Features

• Grade 9 alloy steel construction exceeds Grade 8 tensile strength requirements
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement for greater clamping force
• Zinc-plated clear chromate finish provides corrosion resistance for general service environments
• Hex head drive is compatible with standard sockets and open-end wrenches
• Inch measurement system with 1-8 thread size for broad tooling compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for inch-standard hex head cap screw applications requiring a 1-8 thread size and 2-inch length under head in high-strength Grade 9 alloy steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, industrial mechanics, or structural tradespeople using standard hex socket or open-end wrench tooling. Always verify mating thread condition and thread class before installation to avoid cross-threading or improper fit. Follow applicable torque specifications published by the equipment manufacturer or relevant industry standards for Grade 9 fasteners. Do not substitute a lower-grade fastener in applications engineered for Grade 9 tensile requirements.
