Value Collection CAI206207000-025BX Carriage Bolt 5/8-11 7in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CAI206207000-025BX is a Grade 2 steel carriage bolt with a 5/8-11 UNC thread and a 7-inch length under head. The square neck design locks into place when drawn into wood or soft material, preventing rotation during tightening without requiring a wrench on the bolt head. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and light outdoor applications. This fastener meets ASTM A307 standards and is specified in inch measurements throughout. It is a common choice for structural wood connections, framing assemblies, and general construction fastening tasks handled by carpenters, contractors, and maintenance technicians.

This carriage bolt is suited for residential and light commercial construction applications where a 5/8-inch coarse-thread fastener is required. Typical installations include timber framing, wood-to-wood connections, dock and fence construction, and equipment mounting to wood substrates. The ASTM A307 rating makes it appropriate for general structural bolt applications where high-strength fasteners are not required by specification.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread for reliable engagement in standard tapped holes and nuts
• Square neck under the domed head prevents bolt rotation during installation
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASTM A307 fastener standards
• Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance for general-duty applications
• 7-inch length under head accommodates thicker material stacks and structural connections

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/8-11 UNC carriage bolt for use with matching hex nuts and washers in general construction and structural wood fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation typically requires a standard wrench or socket on the mating nut while the square neck seats into the substrate to hold the bolt stationary. Always drill a correctly sized clearance hole to allow the square neck to seat fully and prevent splitting in wood applications. Follow applicable building codes and structural specifications when selecting fastener grade and quantity for load-bearing connections. Wear appropriate hand protection when handling hardware with sharp thread edges.
