Bowmalloy BOW36072 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 7 in

Product Description

The BOWMALLOY BOW36072 is a Grade 9 steel hex head cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and structural assemblies. Measuring 3/8-16 thread size at 7 inches in length under the head, this fastener features partial threading and a Bowma-Guard finish for enhanced corrosion resistance. Grade 9 classification indicates a high-strength alloy steel fastener suitable for demanding load-bearing connections. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working with heavy equipment, structural frames, and industrial machinery will find this screw engineered for reliable performance under stress.

This cap screw is suited for use in industrial maintenance, OEM equipment assembly, and structural fastening applications where high tensile strength and corrosion protection are required. The partial threading design provides a smooth shank section, which is common in applications requiring precise clamping force without full thread engagement through the joint. It packages in quantities of 25 per package, making it practical for both single-job and repeat service use.

Key Features

• Grade 9 steel construction for high-strength, heavy-duty fastening
• Bowma-Guard finish provides corrosion resistance for industrial environments
• Partial threading delivers controlled clamping with a smooth shank section
• 3/8-16 unified coarse thread for wide compatibility with standard hex nuts and tapped holes
• 7-inch length under head suits deep-reach and thick-stack fastening applications
• Sold in packages of 25 for efficient job-site and shop use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw compatible with 3/8-16 threaded nuts, inserts, and tapped holes in industrial and mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople or maintenance technicians familiar with fastener torque requirements for Grade 9 hardware. De-energize and lock out all equipment before fastener replacement or assembly work per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Use a properly sized hex head wrench or socket to avoid rounding the head. Do not substitute Grade 9 hardware with lower-grade fasteners in load-bearing or safety-critical joints.
