Bowmalloy BOWMP36797 Hex Lock Nut 3/8-24 Grade 9

Product Description

The BOWMALLOY BOWMP36797 is a Grade 9 steel hex lock nut designed for high-strength fastening applications. Manufactured to inch-series standards with a 3/8-24 thread size and right-hand thread direction, this nut delivers the clamping force and vibration resistance required in demanding mechanical, industrial, and equipment assembly work. The Bowma-Guard finish provides corrosion protection suited for service environments where surface degradation is a concern. At 0.330 inches in height and 0.562 inches across the flats, it fits standard 9/16-inch wrenches. Licensed mechanics, maintenance technicians, and industrial assemblers are the primary installers.

This hex lock nut is appropriate for use in mechanical assemblies, industrial equipment, and structural fastening where Grade 9 strength and secure thread locking are required. The 3/8-24 fine thread pitch offers higher thread engagement per inch compared to coarse thread, making it well-suited for applications subject to vibration or dynamic loading. It is sold in a package quantity of 50 units, making it practical for production line use or service stock replenishment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed mechanics, industrial assemblers, or maintenance technicians using a standard 9/16-inch wrench or socket. Always de-energize or shut down the equipment being serviced before disassembling fastened joints. Inspect mating threads for damage or contamination prior to installation. Do not reuse lock nuts that show signs of deformation or thread wear, as locking performance may be compromised.
