Bowmalloy BOW36057 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 100 Pack

Product Description

The BOWMALLOY BOW36057 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw in 3/8-16 thread size, manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated clear chromate finish marketed under BOWMALLOY's Bowma-Guard coating designation. This fastener is designed for structural and mechanical clamping applications where a grippable hex head and controlled thread engagement are required. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads, making it well suited for joints that see lateral stress. Sold in a 100-count package, this screw is a standard-format fastener used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical assembly work.

This cap screw fits residential and commercial trade applications where a 3/8-16 coarse-thread fastener is called for. Common installation scenarios include securing equipment mounting brackets, panel assemblies, flanged connections, and structural supports. The zinc-plated chromate finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. Trades that frequently use this size include HVAC installers, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors working on equipment mounting and ductwork support structures.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 coarse thread size for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• Partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to carry shear loads at joint interfaces
• Steel construction provides strength for structural clamping and mechanical assembly
• Bowma-Guard zinc-plated clear chromate finish adds corrosion resistance in sheltered environments
• 100-count package quantity reduces reorder frequency for high-volume installations

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 partially threaded hex head cap screw in standard steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized to the hex head. Always verify that the mating tapped hole or nut matches 3/8-16 coarse thread specification before driving. Torque to the joint requirements specified in the applicable equipment service documentation. Power down or depressurize any system before fastener replacement on live equipment.
