A: The 2400-183 is a 1 in. long carriage bolt, while the 2400-178 is 1-1/2 in. long. Both use 3/8-16 UNC thread but are used in different locations requiring different grip lengths.
A: The 2400-183 is used where a shorter fastener is needed in Linear and OSCO gate operator assemblies - typically in thinner panels, brackets, or structural members where a 1-1/2 in. bolt would be excessive.
A: The square neck under the domed head engages the mounting hole or surface to prevent the bolt from rotating while you tighten the nut, allowing single-wrench installation.

A: When in doubt, check the Linear/OSCO parts diagram for your specific operator model. The 1 in. (2400-183) and 1-1/2 in. (2400-178) bolts are used in different locations and are not interchangeable due to the difference in grip length.
