Bowmalloy 36332 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-24 Grade 9

Product Description

The BOWMALLOY 36332 is a 5/16-24 partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in mechanical, structural, and equipment assembly work. Manufactured from Grade 9 alloy steel, this fastener delivers superior tensile strength compared to standard Grade 5 or Grade 8 hardware. The clear zinc chromate finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moderately harsh environments. At 1-3/4 inches in length under head, it fits a range of standard bolted joint configurations. Mechanics, millwrights, and field technicians working with heavy equipment, hydraulic assemblies, or precision machinery will find this screw a direct match for critical fastening points.

This cap screw is suited for residential and commercial equipment installations where fine-thread engagement and high clamping force are required. The 5/16-24 fine thread pattern provides greater thread engagement per inch than coarse-thread equivalents, making it well suited for metal-to-metal joints where vibration resistance and precise torque control matter. Typical applications include equipment mounting, bracket attachment, and machinery maintenance across HVAC, hydraulic, and industrial service environments.

Key Features

• Grade 9 alloy steel construction for high tensile strength beyond standard Grade 8 hardware
• 5/16-24 fine thread for improved vibration resistance and precise torque control
• Partially threaded shank allows accurate shear load distribution in bolted joints
• Clear zinc chromate finish for corrosion resistance in moderate service conditions
• Hex head drive for standard wrench or socket installation
• Available in packs of 100 units for service stock and shop inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw compatible with any 5/16-24 threaded hole or nut conforming to Unified National Fine thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics, millwrights, or qualified service technicians using standard hex wrenches or sockets. Always power down or de-energize the equipment and relieve any system pressure before accessing fastener locations in pressurized or energized assemblies. Apply fastener torque in accordance with the equipment manufacturer specifications and applicable service standards. Inspect the threaded hole for debris or damage before installation to ensure full thread engagement.
