Value Collection CAI206208000-025BX Carriage Bolt 5/8-11 8in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CAI206208000-025BX is a 5/8-11 carriage bolt with an 8-inch length under head, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The square neck seats flush against the material surface to prevent rotation during tightening without requiring a wrench on the bolt head. This fastener meets ASTM A307 standards and is sized in the inch system with Unified National Coarse (UNC) threading. It is a general-purpose structural fastener commonly installed by contractors, ironworkers, carpenters, and maintenance technicians across a wide range of construction and equipment applications.

This carriage bolt is suited for wood-to-wood, wood-to-metal, and light structural metal connections in residential and commercial construction. Typical applications include deck framing, post and beam assemblies, playground equipment, agricultural structures, and general fabrication work. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for interior applications and protected exterior environments. Each unit is sold individually.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 UNC thread size for broad hardware compatibility
• 8-inch length under head suits thick or layered material connections
• Square neck prevents bolt rotation during nut tightening
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASTM A307 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system carriage bolt for general structural and construction fastening applications where a 5/8-11 UNC thread is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, ironworkers, or general contractors using standard hand tools. Always pre-drill a clean hole sized to match the bolt shank diameter to allow the square neck to seat properly and lock against rotation. Apply a flat washer and nut on the threaded end and torque to project or code specifications. Follow applicable building codes and engineer-of-record specifications for structural connections.
