Value Collection HXLI206205000-025BX Hex Lag Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HXLI206205000-025BX is a zinc-plated, Grade 2 steel hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and structural assemblies. With a 5/8-inch nominal diameter and a 5-inch length under head, this lag screw provides substantial holding strength in framing, decking, ledger board attachment, and similar load-bearing connections. The hex head drives with standard hex or socket tooling, making installation straightforward in the field. Zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and sheltered outdoor use. This screw weighs approximately 1 pound per unit and ships in a quantity of 5.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial construction, HVAC equipment mounting, structural wood connections, and general trade fastening tasks where a large-diameter, long-shank lag is required. Common installation scenarios include securing wood ledger boards to framing, mounting heavy equipment brackets to wood substrates, and anchoring structural lumber connections. It is a practical choice for carpenters, general contractors, HVAC installers, and other trade professionals who need a reliable, off-the-shelf lag screw in a standard size.

Key Features

• 5/8-inch nominal diameter for high load-bearing capacity in wood substrates
• 5-inch length under head for deep thread engagement in thick lumber
• Hex head design drives with standard hex wrenches or socket sets
• Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance for general-use environments
• Grade 2 steel construction meets standard mechanical property requirements for lag screws

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or trade professionals using a socket wrench or impact driver with the appropriate hex socket. A pilot hole should be drilled prior to installation to prevent wood splitting and to ease driving, following applicable building code or IRC requirements for lag screw pilot hole sizing. Do not overdrive — stop when the head seats flush against the material surface to avoid crushing wood fibers and reducing holding strength.
