Value Collection HXLI206209000-025BX Hex Head Lag Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HXLI206209000-025BX is a 5/8-inch hex head lag screw with a 9-inch length under head, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. Lag screws of this type are heavy-duty fasteners used to secure structural wood members, mount equipment to lumber framing, or anchor brackets and hardware into wood substrates. The hex head drive style accepts a standard socket or wrench for installation without requiring a pre-drilled receiving thread — the screw cuts its own thread path into wood. At 1 pound per unit, this is a substantial fastener suited for load-bearing applications in mechanical, electrical, and general construction trade work.

This lag screw is used across residential and commercial construction applications including securing equipment mounting brackets, attaching structural lumber, fastening hangers and straps, and anchoring mechanical or electrical enclosures to wood framing. Tradespeople including HVAC installers, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors routinely use hex head lag screws of this size when securing equipment stands, pipe supports, conduit straps, and similar hardware to wood structural members.

Key Features

• 5/8-inch diameter for high-load fastening applications
• 9-inch length under head provides deep thread engagement in wood
• Hex head drive accepts standard socket or open-end wrench
• Grade 2 steel construction for structural-grade strength
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance in dry or sheltered environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hex head lag screw for use in wood fastening applications across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and structural construction trades.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by the appropriate licensed trade professional when fasteners are used in structural or code-governed applications. A pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw shank diameter is strongly recommended in hardwood or dense lumber to prevent splitting and reduce drive torque. Use a socket wrench or impact driver with the correct hex socket size. Always follow applicable building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and load ratings when used in structural assemblies.
