Gibraltar 832740-G Swing Bolt 3/8-16 Steel Black Oxide

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 832740-G is a 3/8-16 UNC swing bolt designed for clamping and toggle applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from 1045 grade steel with a black oxide finish, this bolt provides solid corrosion resistance and surface hardness suited for demanding service environments. It features a 1-3/8 inch thread length, a 3/8 inch hole diameter, a 1/2 inch head thickness, and a 2-1/2 inch hole-center-to-end measurement. Licensed trades and maintenance technicians working with fixtures, jigs, and clamp assemblies will find this a direct-fit hardware solution.

The 832740-G swing bolt is used in industrial clamping fixtures, machine tooling setups, and mechanical assemblies where a hinged or pivoting bolt is needed to allow quick part removal without fully extracting the fastener. It is appropriate for both light manufacturing and maintenance applications where 3/8-16 UNC thread fasteners are specified. The black oxide finish makes it suitable for environments where moderate corrosion protection is required without additional coating steps.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with standard inch-series hardware
• 1045 grade steel construction for strength and wear resistance
• Black oxide finish for corrosion inhibition and reduced light reflection
• 1-3/8 inch thread length provides sufficient engagement depth for clamping applications
• 1/2 inch head thickness and 2-1/2 inch hole-center-to-end dimension for consistent fixture alignment
• 3/8 inch hole diameter accommodates standard pivot pins and clevis hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use swing bolt for industrial clamping fixtures and tooling assemblies requiring 3/8-16 UNC fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, or tooling specialists. Ensure the mating clevis pin or pivot hardware matches the 3/8 inch hole diameter before assembly. De-energize or lock out any associated machinery before servicing clamping fixtures per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not exceed the rated thread engagement depth of 1-3/8 inches.
