Bowmalloy BOWMP36008 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-20 X 2 in

Product Description

The BOWMALLOY BOWMP36008 is a Grade 9 steel hex head cap screw with a 1/4-20 thread size and a 2-inch length under the head. It features partial threading and a Bowma-Guard protective finish. Grade 9 fasteners deliver higher tensile strength than standard Grade 5 or Grade 8 hardware, making this screw a reliable choice for demanding structural and mechanical connections. The Bowma-Guard finish provides corrosion resistance suited to industrial and outdoor service environments. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical applications will find this fastener appropriate for high-load assemblies.

This cap screw is used in residential and commercial mechanical installations where a high-strength inch-series fastener is required. Typical applications include equipment mounting, bracket attachment, panel assembly, and structural connections on HVAC units, electrical enclosures, plumbing supports, and general trade equipment. The partially threaded shank allows the unthreaded portion to bear shear loads and align mating components accurately before the threaded section engages the nut or tapped hole.

Key Features

• Grade 9 steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding mechanical applications
• Bowma-Guard finish delivers corrosion resistance for industrial and outdoor use
• Partial threading allows shear load transfer and accurate component alignment
• 1/4-20 UNC inch-series thread for broad compatibility with standard hardware
• Hex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches and sockets for fast installation
• Packaged in quantities of 50 per unit, supporting job-site and shop stocking needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 x 2-inch Grade 9 hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring an inch-series partially threaded fastener with a hex drive head.

Installation Notes

Install and tighten using a properly sized hex wrench, box wrench, or socket matched to the hex head dimension. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastener work on electrical enclosures or live mechanical systems. Follow applicable code requirements, including IPC, IFGC, or NEC provisions governing mechanical connections within their respective systems. Do not substitute a lower-grade fastener in any joint originally specified for Grade 9 hardware.
