Bowmalloy 36360 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-24 X 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The BOWMALLOY 36360 is a Grade 9 alloy steel hex head cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications. Measuring 3/8-24 thread size with a 2-1/2 inch length under head, this partially threaded fastener delivers superior tensile strength compared to standard Grade 5 or Grade 8 hardware. The clear zinc chromate finish provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. This screw is installed by mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians who require reliable clamping force in critical assemblies.

The 36360 is suited for use in industrial machinery, heavy equipment, and structural assemblies where high-torque fastening with fine-thread engagement is required. The 3/8-24 fine thread pitch provides increased thread engagement strength and better resistance to loosening under vibration compared to coarse-thread equivalents. Partially threaded shank design allows for precise load bearing at the grip length, making it a practical choice for bolted joints requiring a clean shank through one or more members.

Key Features

• Grade 9 alloy steel construction for elevated proof load and tensile strength
• 3/8-24 fine thread for improved vibration resistance and thread engagement
• Partially threaded shank for accurate grip-length load distribution
• Clear zinc chromate finish for corrosion protection in service environments
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard SAE tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a high-strength OEM-style replacement or service fastener for industrial and mechanical assemblies requiring 3/8-24 fine-thread hex head cap screws in Grade 9 alloy steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified mechanics or maintenance technicians using a standard hex socket or open-end wrench sized for 3/8-24 hardware. Always de-energize or lock out equipment before replacing structural fasteners in mechanical assemblies. Do not substitute Grade 9 fasteners with lower-grade hardware in applications where the higher grade was specified. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the equipment manufacturer or relevant industry standards for the joint material and fastener size.
