Hillman Fasteners 230092 Hex Head Lag Bolt 3/8x3-1/2 Zinc 50pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 230092 is a zinc-plated hex head lag bolt designed for heavy-duty wood fastening applications. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter by 3-1/2 inches in length, this lag bolt delivers strong holding power in structural and general construction assemblies. The hex head drive accepts a standard socket or wrench for installation without a pre-formed nut. Each box contains 50 bolts, making it a practical quantity for contractors and tradespeople working on framing, ledger board attachment, deck construction, and similar wood-to-wood or wood-to-structural-member connections.

These lag bolts are suited for residential and light commercial construction tasks where a robust threaded fastener is required to join heavy timber, lumber, or engineered wood members. Common applications include deck ledger attachment, post-and-beam framing, structural bracketing, and general carpentry work requiring a high-strength wood screw fastener. The 50-count pack is sized for job-site use or shop stocking by carpenters, general contractors, and construction tradespeople.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch diameter by 3-1/2 inch length for deep, load-bearing wood engagement
• Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance for interior and protected exterior use
• Hex head drive accepts standard 9/16-inch sockets and box wrenches
• 50-count pack quantity supports production-volume fastening tasks
• Coarse wood-thread profile for strong grip in dimensional lumber and timber

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag bolt for use in wood-to-wood and wood-to-structural-member connections typical in residential and light commercial framing and carpentry assemblies.

Installation Notes

Lag bolts of this diameter typically require a pilot hole to prevent wood splitting and to ease installation — consult applicable building codes or span tables for required pilot hole diameter based on wood species and member thickness. A socket wrench or impact driver with the appropriate hex socket is recommended for driving. Follow local building codes, including IBC or IRC requirements, when using lag bolts in structural connections such as ledger-to-rim-joist attachments. Do not overtighten, as excess torque can strip the wood fibers and reduce holding strength.
