Bowmalloy BOW36498 Hex Head Cap Screw 7/8-14 Steel

Product Description

The BOWMALLOY BOW36498 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in structural and equipment assembly applications. Manufactured from steel with a Bowma-Guard zinc-plated clear chromate finish, this fastener provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. The 7/8-14 thread size indicates a 7/8-inch nominal diameter with 14 threads per inch, conforming to the UNF (Unified Fine Thread) standard. The partial threading allows for a smooth shank section that resists shear loads along the fastener body, making it suitable for precision joint assemblies and heavy-duty mechanical connections.

This cap screw is used across industrial, commercial, and mechanical assembly applications where a fine-thread hex drive fastener is required. Typical installations include equipment frames, machinery mounts, structural steel connections, and trade applications such as HVAC unit assembly, electrical enclosure mounting, and mechanical system fabrication. The hex head drive is compatible with standard hex wrenches and impact tooling commonly found in trade environments.

Key Features

• 7/8-14 UNF fine thread for precise engagement and strong clamping force
• Partially threaded shank provides shear resistance in structural joints
• Bowma-Guard zinc-plated clear chromate finish for corrosion protection
• Steel construction for high tensile strength in mechanical applications
• Hex head drive compatible with standard wrenches and impact sockets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style hex head cap screw replacement for mechanical assemblies requiring a 7/8-14 UNF partially threaded fastener in steel with a zinc-plated finish.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or trade professional familiar with fastener specifications and torque requirements for the specific application. Always confirm thread engagement depth and joint design before installation. Do not mix inch and metric fasteners in the same assembly. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when specifying fastener grade and finish for the service environment.
