The Genie 42229GT Hex Head Cap Screw, 1-8 X 3.5 is a genuine OEM fastener built for the Genie Z-80/60 articulating boom lift. Sourced directly from Genie, this screw matches the exact thread pitch, grip length, and head dimensions specified for the Z-80/60 — so it seats correctly and torques to spec without guesswork. Cross-reference part number 42229GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the right fastener for your application before ordering.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Material and Dimensional Conformity — Manufactured to Genie's material and dimensional specifications, ensuring correct thread engagement and clamping load for a 1-8 X 3.5 hex head cap screw application.
- Direct OEM Replacement — This screw installs in place of the original without modification, maintaining the same torque characteristics and joint integrity as the factory-installed fastener.
- Designed for the Genie Z-80/60 — Confirmed fitment for the Z-80/60 articulating boom lift, so you can order with confidence knowing you are getting the correct part for your machine.
- Structural Joint Integrity — A properly torqued, correctly sized fastener maintains the clamping force that holds critical assemblies in position. A stripped, stretched, or incorrect-grade screw can compromise joint integrity and lead to component movement or failure.
- Operational Safety — On an articulating boom lift, fastener integrity in structural and mechanical joints is directly tied to safe machine operation. Using the specified OEM screw ensures the joint performs as Genie designed it to.
A hex head cap screw is a threaded fastener with a six-sided head designed to be driven by a wrench or socket, providing high clamping force across the joint it secures. The 1-8 thread designation indicates a 1-inch nominal diameter with 8 threads per inch — a large, heavy-duty specification suited to high-load connections. When a fastener of this size stretches, corrodes, or is replaced with an incorrect grade or length, it can fail to maintain the clamping load the joint requires, leading to loosening, wear at the interface, or structural movement. Replacing it with the correct Genie OEM part restores the joint to its original specification and keeps the machine performing as intended.
