Value Collection HXLI206214000 Hex Lag Screw 5/8in 14in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HXLI206214000 is a hex head lag screw engineered for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and structural assemblies. With a 5/8-inch nominal diameter and 14 inches of length under the head, this fastener delivers substantial holding power for demanding installations. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and sheltered outdoor use. The hex head drive style is compatible with standard hex sockets and wrenches, making installation straightforward for trade professionals working on framing, deck construction, equipment mounting, and structural connections.

This lag screw is suited for residential and commercial construction applications where a large-diameter, long-reach fastener is required. Typical use cases include timber framing, ledger board attachment, heavy equipment anchoring, and structural wood-to-wood connections. The 5/8-inch diameter and 14-inch length under head make it appropriate for thick lumber and engineered wood assemblies where standard wood screws or bolts are insufficient. It is commonly installed by carpenters, general contractors, and field technicians handling structural hardware.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag screw for use in wood framing and structural fastening applications requiring a 5/8-inch diameter fastener with 14 inches of length under the head.

Installation Notes

Installation of large-diameter lag screws typically requires a pre-drilled pilot hole to prevent wood splitting and to achieve proper seating depth — consult applicable building codes and span tables for pilot hole sizing. A hex socket or impact wrench is recommended to drive a fastener of this size; hand tools alone may be insufficient for full embedment in dense lumber. Follow applicable building codes, including IBC provisions, for structural fastener spacing and edge distances. Inspect the fastener and mating material for damage before installation.
