Value Collection R52001267 Carriage Bolt 5/8-11 5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001267 is a 5/8-11 carriage bolt with a 5-inch length under the head, designed for general-purpose fastening in structural and assembly applications. It features a fully threaded shank, a smooth domed head, and a square neck that bites into the mating material to prevent rotation during installation. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this bolt meets ASME B18.5 dimensional standards. It is a common choice for wood-to-wood and wood-to-metal connections across construction, equipment mounting, and fabrication work.

This carriage bolt is suited for residential and light commercial construction, timber framing, fence assembly, and general structural fastening where a flush, rotation-resistant connection is required. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for interior and sheltered exterior environments. Tradespeople including carpenters, ironworkers, and general contractors regularly use this fastener size in deck construction, ledger board attachment, and structural panel assembly.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 UNC thread size with fully threaded shank along the 5-inch under-head length
• Square neck design locks against the substrate to prevent bolt rotation without a second wrench
• Grade 2 steel construction meets baseline tensile and yield requirements for general fastening
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for interior and protected exterior use
• Conforms to ASME B18.5 fastener standard for dimensional consistency
• Inch measurement system; compatible with standard SAE tools and hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC carriage bolt for use with 5/8-inch clearance holes in wood, metal, and composite substrates requiring a flush domed head and anti-rotation square neck per ASME B18.5.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, structural ironworkers, or general contractors using a standard wrench or socket on the nut side. The square neck must seat fully into the substrate before torquing the nut to prevent spinning. Always follow applicable building codes and structural connection specifications when using carriage bolts in load-bearing assemblies. Use appropriate flat washers and nuts to ensure proper clamping force and load distribution.
