Value Collection CAI206202000-025BX Carriage Bolt 5/8-11 2in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CAI206202000-025BX is a 5/8-11 carriage bolt with a 2-inch length under head, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The square neck design locks the bolt in place against the material being fastened, preventing rotation during nut tightening without requiring a wrench on the bolt head. This fastener meets ASTM A307 standards and is sized in the inch measurement system. It is a general-purpose structural fastener commonly installed by contractors, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople across a wide range of light-to-medium duty construction and assembly applications.

Carriage bolts in this size range are used in wood-to-wood and wood-to-metal connections including deck framing, fence construction, playground equipment, and general structural assembly. The 5/8-11 UNC thread provides coarse threading suited to wood substrates and standard hex nuts. This bolt is sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 units, making it appropriate for job-lot purchasing on larger fastening tasks.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/8-11 UNC carriage bolt for use with matching coarse-thread hex nuts, washers, and standard hardware in general construction and structural assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or maintenance tradespeople using standard hand or power tools. Drill a clearance hole sized to the bolt shank diameter before inserting the bolt so the square neck seats flush and locks correctly. Tighten the hex nut from the nut end only; apply a washer under the nut to protect the work surface. The zinc plating on this fastener is suitable for dry or sheltered conditions and is not rated as a substitute for hot-dip galvanized hardware in continuously wet or treated-lumber environments.
