Bowmalloy BOWMP36358 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-24x2 Grade 9

Product Description

The BOWMALLOY BOWMP36358 is a 3/8-24 hex head cap screw measuring 2 inches under the head, manufactured from Grade 9 steel with a Bowma-Guard protective finish. Grade 9 steel delivers high tensile strength suited for demanding mechanical and structural fastening applications. The partially threaded shank provides a bearing surface in the unthreaded grip zone, which helps maintain joint clamping force and resist loosening under vibration or dynamic loads. This fastener is installed by licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working in industrial, HVAC, mechanical, and heavy equipment assembly environments.

This cap screw is well suited for bolted assemblies where a combination of high strength and corrosion resistance is required. The Bowma-Guard finish provides a protective coating layer that extends service life in environments exposed to moisture and mild corrosive conditions. Typical applications include equipment mounting, mechanical structural joints, and machinery assembly in commercial and industrial settings where Grade 9 fastener specifications are called out by engineering drawings or maintenance manuals.

Key Features

• Grade 9 steel construction for high tensile strength and load capacity
• 3/8-24 fine thread pitch for precise torque control and strong thread engagement
• 2-inch length under head with partial threading to maintain grip-zone bearing surface
• Bowma-Guard finish for enhanced corrosion protection over bare steel
• Hex head drive for standard hex wrench and socket installation
• Sold in packages of 25 with a minimum order quantity of 1 package

Compatibility

Designed for use in bolted assemblies requiring a 3/8-24 fine-thread fastener with Grade 9 strength classification. Consult engineering drawings or equipment service manuals to confirm thread size, grip length, and grade requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople or maintenance technicians familiar with proper fastener torque procedures for Grade 9 hardware. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing fastened assemblies per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the torque specifications listed in the equipment service manual for the applicable joint. Inspect the mating threads and fastener for damage before installation to ensure full thread engagement.
