The Multiquip 17118 is a genuine OEM Socket Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 x 3/4 designed for HTX6H and STX6H hydrostatic ride-on power trowels. As a direct OEM replacement, this fastener matches the original specification used on the production line, ensuring correct torque retention and flush seating in precision-machined bores. If you are servicing a Multiquip HTX6H or STX6H trowel, sourcing the correct grade and thread pitch is critical — an incorrectly substituted fastener can compromise structural integrity at high-vibration points throughout the machine. DHS Equipment stocks Multiquip 17118 so you can get your trowel back in service without compromise.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Grade Fastener — Manufactured to the exact alloy grade, thread class, and head geometry specified for the 17118 position, delivering the clamping force the joint was engineered to handle.
- 3/8-16 x 3/4 Socket Head Cap Screw — The socket head (SHC) profile seats fully in countersunk and close-tolerance locations, allowing high-torque installation with a hex key even in tight access areas.
- Direct Fit for HTX6H and STX6H Trowels — Confirmed OEM fitment for Multiquip HTX6H and STX6H hydrostatic ride-on power trowels; no thread chasing or modification required at the fastener hole.
- Vibration-Resistant Clamping — Ride-on trowels subject fasteners to continuous rotational vibration; using the specified OEM fastener maintains clamp load and reduces the risk of joint loosening during operation.
- Structural Safety at Critical Connection Points — Using an improperly rated substitute screw at load-bearing or guard attachment points on ride-on equipment introduces failure risk; the 17118 eliminates that uncertainty.
A socket head cap screw is a high-strength threaded fastener with a cylindrical head driven by an internal hex key, designed to deliver substantial clamping force in confined spaces where a standard bolt head would not fit or would interfere with moving parts. On ride-on power trowels like the HTX6H and STX6H, fasteners of this type are used at structurally critical joints — including drive assemblies, guard mounts, and frame connections — where consistent clamping force directly affects safe machine operation. A fastener that is the wrong grade, thread pitch, or length can strip, back out, or fail under load, potentially causing component misalignment or guard separation during use.
