Value Collection HXLI206203000-025BX Lag Screw 5/8x3in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HXLI206203000-025BX is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and structural assemblies. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, this lag screw measures 5/8 inches in diameter with a 3-inch length under the head. The hex drive head accepts standard hex wrenches and impact drivers, making installation straightforward in tight or open work areas. At 0.1 pounds per unit, it is lightweight while maintaining the structural holding power expected from a full-thread lag fastener. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and general contractors reach for lag screws like this when anchoring equipment supports, pipe hangers, conduit straps, and mounting brackets to wood framing.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial construction and maintenance work. Common applications include securing pipe hangers, equipment mounting rails, structural brackets, and utility supports to wood studs or timber. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor environments. It is a practical fastener choice for trade professionals who need reliable holding strength in wood-framing scenarios without requiring stainless or hot-dip galvanized grades.

Key Features

• Hex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches and impact drivers for fast installation
• 5/8-inch diameter with 3-inch length under head for deep bite into wood framing
• Grade 2 steel construction delivers reliable tensile and shear strength for structural fastening
• Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in dry and protected indoor environments
• Full-thread lag profile maximizes holding power in wood substrates

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag screw for use in wood framing and structural fastening applications where a 5/8-inch diameter, 3-inch lag fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this size are typically installed by licensed tradespeople during rough-in or equipment-mounting phases of a project. Always drill a pilot hole sized appropriately for the wood species and screw diameter to prevent splitting and ensure full thread engagement. Use a torque wrench or impact driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid overdriving and stripping the wood fibers. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer equipment-mounting guidelines when using lag screws to secure load-bearing brackets or utility supports.
