Value Collection HXLI206202500 Hex Lag Screw 5/8 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HXLI206202500 is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood, masonry substrates, and structural assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plated finish, this screw measures 5/8 inch in diameter with a 2.5 inch length under head. The hex drive head allows installation with standard hex wrenches or socket sets, providing reliable torque transfer without cam-out. The zinc plating offers a baseline level of corrosion resistance suited for interior and protected exterior installations. Licensed tradespeople and contractors reach for lag screws like this when securing structural components, equipment mounting brackets, ledger boards, and similar load-bearing connections.

This lag screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial construction and maintenance tasks. Common applications include securing HVAC equipment pads, mounting electrical panel strut supports, attaching plumbing hangers to wood framing, and general structural fastening where a coarse-thread wood screw with high shear strength is required. The 5/8 inch diameter makes this a heavy-duty fastener class suitable for applications demanding significant clamping force and pullout resistance.

Key Features

• 5/8 inch diameter with 2.5 inch length under head for deep bite in structural material
• Grade 2 steel construction provides solid tensile strength for general structural fastening
• Zinc plated finish delivers baseline corrosion protection for interior and sheltered installs
• Hex head design accepts standard socket wrenches and impact drivers for efficient installation
• Coarse lag thread profile maximizes pullout resistance in wood and composite substrates

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hex head lag screw suitable for wood framing, structural lumber, composite materials, and similar substrates where a 5/8 inch diameter lag fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, contractors, or licensed tradespeople using a socket wrench or impact driver with the appropriate hex socket. A pilot hole should be drilled prior to driving to prevent splitting and to ensure proper seating of the lag thread. Follow applicable building codes and structural specifications when using lag screws in load-bearing or seismic applications. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the substrate or compromise the fastener's clamping load.
