Value Collection 3GBL9100208 Hex Head Lag Screw Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3GBL9100208 is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening in structural and mechanical applications. Manufactured from AISI 1006-1022 grade steel with a hot dipped galvanized finish, this fastener provides corrosion resistance in exterior and wet-environment installations. The screw measures 5/8 inches in nominal diameter with a 2-1/2 inch length under the head. It conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards, making it a reliable choice for trade professionals who need a consistent, code-referenced fastener for load-bearing connections in wood, timber, or structural framing work.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial construction tasks where a large-diameter hex drive fastener is required. Typical applications include attaching ledger boards to framing, securing heavy timber connections, mounting structural brackets, and fastening equipment supports or deck framing. The hot dipped galvanized finish makes it appropriate for treated lumber, outdoor structures, and other environments where moisture exposure is a concern. Electricians, HVAC installers, and general contractors use lag screws of this type when anchoring equipment racks, conduit supports, and structural backing to wood framing.

Key Features

• 5/8 inch nominal diameter for high load-bearing capacity in structural connections
• 2-1/2 inch length under head provides solid thread engagement in wood substrate
• Hot dipped galvanized finish delivers corrosion resistance for exterior and pressure-treated lumber applications
• AISI 1006-1022 grade steel construction meets recognized material standards
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 for consistent dimensional accuracy and interchangeability
• Hex head drive accepts standard socket or wrench for installation without special tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener compatible with structural wood framing, timber connections, and equipment mounting applications requiring a 5/8 inch hex head lag screw meeting ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this diameter should be installed by a qualified tradesperson using a pre-drilled pilot hole sized per applicable building code requirements to prevent wood splitting. Power down or de-energize any nearby electrical equipment before drilling into structural members. A socket wrench or impact driver with the appropriate hex socket is the standard installation tool. Consult local building codes and fastener manufacturer load tables when using this fastener in structural or load-bearing assemblies.
