Bowmalloy BOW36214 Hex Head Cap Screw 1-8 X 2 in Grade 9

Product Description

The BOWMALLOY BOW36214 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and structural assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 9 steel with a Bowma-Guard zinc-plated clear chromate finish, this fastener delivers superior corrosion resistance and mechanical performance compared to standard Grade 5 or Grade 8 hardware. The 1-8 thread size paired with a 2-inch length under the head makes it suitable for demanding bolted joint applications where tensile strength and thread engagement are critical. Tradespeople, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working with heavy equipment or structural connections rely on Grade 9 fasteners like this one to meet high-load specifications.

This cap screw is suited for use in industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, heavy-duty vehicles, and structural steel assemblies requiring inch-series fasteners. The fully threaded design provides maximum thread engagement across the full grip length, making it especially useful in applications where clamping distance is short or thread engagement must extend close to the head. It ships in a package quantity of 10, making it practical for both single-use repairs and small batch installations.

Key Features

• Grade 9 steel construction for higher proof load and tensile strength than standard Grade 8 fasteners
• Bowma-Guard zinc-plated clear chromate finish for corrosion protection in exposed or mildly harsh environments
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement along the entire bolt length
• 1-8 UNC inch-series thread compatible with standard SAE hardware
• 2-inch length under head suits short-to-medium grip applications
• Packaged in quantities of 10 for convenience on repair and maintenance jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit inch-series hex head cap screw for assemblies requiring 1-8 UNC thread fasteners in Grade 9 steel specification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic, millwright, or maintenance technician familiar with proper bolted joint procedures. Always ensure mating threaded holes or nuts are clean, undamaged, and rated for Grade 9 fastener loads before installation. Use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the torque specifications provided by the equipment manufacturer or relevant structural standards for Grade 9 inch-series fasteners. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing bolted connections in mechanical or electrical assemblies.
