Metallics BLS586G – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Metallics BLS586G 5/8 x 6 lag bolt be used outdoors or in a wet, corrosive location?
Yes. The BLS586G is a galvanized steel lag bolt and Metallics states the finish is intended for use in corrosive environments, so exterior framing, dock and utility work, and damp mechanical rooms are all in scope. Base material is steel per AISI 1006-1022.
2) Will these lag bolts meet a Buy American or ARRA requirement on a federal or municipal job?
Metallics lists the BLS586G as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant. Country of origin is recorded as multiple, so if your specification requires a single named origin on the submittal, that is the detail to pin down for the specific lot.
3) What standard and strength do these 5/8 inch hex lag bolts meet for a structural submittal?
Dimensions are to ASME B18.2.1-1996, material is per AISI 1006-1022 steel, minimum tensile strength is 60,000 psi, and hardness runs Rockwell B70 to B100. That set of values is what an engineer or inspector normally wants on a lag bolt submittal for anchoring ledgers, strut, or equipment supports.
4) What size pilot hole and what wood depth do I need for a 5/8 by 6 inch hex lag bolt?
The bolt is a full 6 inches of length under the hex head with a gimlet point, so your combined material thickness plus embedment has to total at least 6 inches for the threads to fully engage, less whatever you want standing proud. The gimlet point starts itself, but at 5/8 inch diameter a lag this size should always be driven into a pre-drilled pilot hole in solid lumber to avoid splitting. Drive it with a wrench or socket on the hex head, not an impact driver bit.
5) How many lag bolts come in a box of Metallics BLS586G, and can I buy fewer?
They ship as a box of 100, and 100 count is the order minimum, so it is a full-box purchase rather than a loose-count pick. Metallics notes other sizes and quantities are available by request.
6) What is the difference between a hex lag bolt like this and a through bolt with a nut?
A lag bolt threads directly into wood and holds by thread engagement in the material, so you only need access to one face. The BLS586G is a full-bodied type with spaced wood threads, a gimlet point, and a hex head you drive with a wrench. A through bolt needs a hole clear through the assembly and a nut and washer on the back side. If you cannot reach the far face of the member, the lag is what you use.
7) Are galvanized lag bolts okay to use with pressure treated lumber?
Galvanized is the standard corrosion finish called for in treated lumber contact, and this bolt is galvanized steel supplied specifically for corrosive service. For anything in direct salt spray or submerged, stainless is the usual step up instead.
8) How much does a box of 100 Metallics 5/8 x 6 galvanized lag bolts weigh?
The packed box runs 45.03 lbs, with carton dimensions given as 9 x 9 x 6.13 inches. Worth knowing if you are staging fasteners on a lift or on a roof, since that is a dense, heavy box for its size.
