Value Collection HCI20872600G6 Hex Head Bolt 7/8-9 26 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI20872600G6 is a 7/8-9 UNC hex head bolt designed for heavy structural and general fastening applications. At 26 inches in length under the head, this is a long-reach fastener suited for through-bolting thick assemblies, timber framing, and structural steel connections. It is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish that provides corrosion resistance in outdoor and high-moisture environments. The partial threading keeps the shank smooth through most of the grip length, which is standard practice for shear-loaded connections. Compliance with ASTM A307 confirms it meets established load and material standards for general-purpose structural bolts.

This bolt is used in construction, infrastructure, agricultural equipment, and industrial maintenance applications where a large-diameter, long-reach fastener is required. It is well suited for wood-to-wood, wood-to-steel, and light structural steel connections. The hot-dipped galvanized coating makes it a practical choice for exterior installations, treated lumber applications, and other environments where bare steel would corrode prematurely. Installation is typically performed by construction tradespeople, ironworkers, or maintenance technicians using standard hex wrenches or impact sockets.

Key Features

• 7/8-9 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard heavy-duty nuts and threaded connections
• 26-inch length under head accommodates deep through-bolt applications and thick material stacks
• Partial threading preserves a smooth shank for shear load transfer across the grip length
• Hot-dipped galvanized finish provides durable corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-lumber use
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASTM A307 standards for general structural fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 7/8-9 UNC hex head bolt for use with any compatible 7/8-9 heavy hex nut or structural washer meeting ASTM A307 general-purpose fastener requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following applicable building codes and structural drawings. Always use a flat washer and appropriately sized nut rated for Grade 2 or ASTM A307 service. Torque to values specified by the structural engineer of record or the applicable project specification. Inspect the galvanized coating for damage before installation; field-touch-up with zinc-rich paint is recommended wherever the coating has been cut or abraded.
