Hillman Fasteners 48090 Bronze Ceramic Lag Screws 8x3/8 15 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48090 is a 15-pack of Power Pro Bronze Ceramic Construction Lag Screws sized 8 inches by 3/8 inches. These heavy-duty lags feature a Type 17 cut point that bores into wood without pre-drilling in many applications, reducing installation time on framing and structural connections. The star drive recess provides positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out. A coarse, serrated thread profile increases holding strength in lumber and engineered wood. The bronze ceramic coating delivers a 1500-hour salt spray rating, making these lags well suited for treated lumber, exterior decks, and other corrosive environments. HILLMAN backs this product with a lifetime warranty.

These construction lag screws are intended for residential and commercial structural fastening applications including deck framing, ledger board attachment, post-to-beam connections, and other heavy wood-to-wood or wood-to-structural-member assemblies. The corrosion-resistant bronze ceramic coating meets demands of outdoor and treated-lumber environments where standard zinc-plated fasteners would corrode prematurely. Carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors will find these lags appropriate for above-grade exterior framing work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified carpenter or contractor following applicable building codes and structural fastening specifications for the project. Power down or disconnect any adjacent electrical service before fastening near utility penetrations. Use an impact driver or heavy-duty drill with the appropriate star drive bit sized for the fastener head to ensure full torque transfer. Always consult local building code and engineered fastening schedules when using lag screws in load-bearing or ledger-board connections.
