Bowmalloy BOW36358 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-24 Steel

Product Description

The BOWMALLOY BOW36358 is a 3/8-24 UNF hex head cap screw manufactured from steel with a Bowma-Guard zinc-plated clear chromate finish. It features partial threading, making it suited for fastening applications where the unthreaded shank is needed to bear shear loads or align mating components. This screw is a standard trade-supply fastener used across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical equipment assembly. At 0.01 pounds per unit, it is packaged in a quantity of 50. Installation is performed by general tradespeople and mechanical technicians using standard hex-drive tooling.

This cap screw is commonly used in light commercial and residential equipment assembly, structural bracketing, and component mounting where a 3/8-24 fine thread pattern is specified. Fine thread fasteners like this offer higher thread engagement strength and are preferred in applications with vibration or where precise torque control is required. The zinc-plated clear chromate finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected mechanical environments.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF fine thread for higher thread engagement and vibration resistance
• Partial threading for shear load bearing and component alignment
• Steel construction for reliable mechanical strength
• Bowma-Guard zinc-plated clear chromate finish for corrosion resistance
• Packaged in quantities of 50 for service stock and shop use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-24 UNF hex head cap screw suitable for general mechanical and equipment fastening applications requiring fine thread, partially threaded fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized to the screw head. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before replacing or installing fasteners on powered systems. Fastener torque requirements are determined by the equipment manufacturer specifications for the application. Inspect mating threads for damage or contamination before installation.
