The Multiquip 20982 is a genuine OEM Screw FSCS 3/8-16 x 1-1/2 PLTD designed for the HDA-Series heavy-duty walk-behind power trowels. As a factory-sourced fastener, it delivers the exact thread specification, head geometry, and plated finish required by the original equipment design. This screw is a direct OEM replacement, confirmed for compatibility with the HDA-Series, so you can complete your repair with confidence. Sourced directly through Multiquip's authorized parts network, the 20982 ensures the assembly holds to spec from the moment it's torqued down.
Key Features
- Correct Thread Form and Pitch: — 3/8-16 UNC threading matches the original tapped bore exactly, ensuring full thread engagement without cross-threading risk.
- Plated Finish for Corrosion Resistance: — The zinc plating on this FSCS fastener protects against surface rust in the wet, abrasive environments common to concrete finishing work.
- Flat Socket Cap Head Design: — The FSCS head profile seats flush, maintaining the correct clamping load and clearance where fastener protrusion could affect blade or guard alignment.
- HDA-Series Fitment Confirmed: — Verified OEM replacement for Multiquip HDA-Series heavy-duty walk-behind power trowels, sourced to the original equipment specification.
- Structural Integrity Under Vibration: — Trowel assemblies operate under sustained vibration; a correctly sized and graded fastener maintains clamp load and prevents loosening during extended finishing passes.
A flat socket cap screw (FSCS) is a high-strength fastener with a recessed hex drive and a low-profile flat head, used where a standard hex bolt head would interfere with adjacent components or require flush seating. On a walk-behind power trowel like the HDA-Series, fasteners of this type are commonly used to secure guards, brackets, and structural assemblies that must stay tight through continuous vibration and mechanical load. When a fastener of this type loosens, strips, or is replaced with an incorrect substitute, it can compromise the structural integrity of the assembly, cause premature wear on mating components, or create unsafe operating conditions.
