The Genie 980340GT Hex Head Cap Screw, 5/16-18 x 0.5 in is a genuine OEM fastener built for Genie AL series light towers, including the AL4, AL4000, AL5, and AL5000. As an OEM part, it meets the original design specification for thread pitch, head geometry, and material grade — exactly as Genie intended when the machine was built. Confirm part number 980340GT against your machine's parts manual to be certain this is the correct fastener for your application.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Fastener Material — Manufactured to the same material grade and dimensional tolerances as the original, ensuring correct torque load and clamp force for the joint it secures.
- Exact Thread Specification — 5/16-18 UNC thread and 0.5 in grip length match the original hole and mating component precisely, so installation is straightforward with no thread chasing or rework.
- Correct Head Profile — Hex head cap configuration seats flush to specification, accepting standard tooling and delivering consistent tightening across the joint.
- Broad AL Series Fitment — Fits Genie AL4, AL4000, AL5, and AL5000 portable light towers, covering a wide range of units in the field.
- Structural Integrity You Can Count On — Using the correct OEM fastener keeps every fastened joint at its designed clamping strength. A mismatched or worn screw can allow components to shift, loosen, or fail during operation.
A hex head cap screw is a threaded fastener used to clamp two or more components together, typically driven with a wrench or socket against a load-bearing surface. The thread pitch and length determine how much clamping force the fastener develops and how deep it engages the mating part — so substituting a fastener with a different spec risks under-torque, thread damage, or joint failure. On Genie AL series light towers, fasteners like the 980340GT hold structural and mechanical assemblies in position throughout the working life of the machine. Replacing a worn, stripped, or missing screw with the correct OEM part restores the joint to its original specification.
