Each screw features a patented cross-cut thread design and a wood-biting cut point that work together to reduce the risk of wood splitting during installation. The cross-cut threads grind and remove wood fibers from the hole rather than compressing them, while the cam-out-resistant drive geometry delivers a smooth, controlled drive. These screws are rated for use with pressure-treated lumber, making them a practical choice for exterior structural connections where moisture resistance is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese lag screws are intended for residential and light commercial outdoor construction including decks, stairs, and playsets. The 5\/16-inch diameter and 2.5-inch length suit mid-range structural connections where a standard wood screw lacks the shear strength required. Carpenters, general contractors, and experienced DIYers working on framing, ledger boards, and post-to-beam connections will find this pack sized appropriately for larger jobs. The 175-count quantity reduces the need for multiple supply runs on multi-day projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePatented cross-cut threads reduce wood splitting by grinding and removing fibers from the hole\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWood-biting cut point improves bite and reduces cam-out during drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with pressure-treated lumber for exterior and ground-contact applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch by 2.5-inch dimensions suited for mid-range structural fastening tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e175-count pack supports large-scale decking, stair, and playset builds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with pressure-treated lumber in outdoor structural applications including decks, stairs, and playsets.

Always pre-drill a pilot hole sized to the shank diameter to prevent splitting, particularly in dense or dry lumber. Follow local building codes, including IRC framing requirements, when fastening structural members such as ledger boards or deck framing. Do not overdrive — seat the screw head flush to the wood surface without countersinking unless the application requires it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 175 screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 21.8 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pressure-treated lumber, outdoor construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Box (BX)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HILLMAN FASTENERS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 47874\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HILLMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563534909746,"sku":"47874","price":232.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/151483c54b0dc823cd7302a64ec81494_c305a09e-e3d5-4a5c-bb23-26f5d29a690e.jpg?v=1786498819","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hillman-fasteners-47874-lag-screw-5-16x2-5in-175-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
