Hillman Fasteners 48093 Bronze Ceramic Lag Screws 15 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48093 is a 15-pack of Power Pro Bronze Ceramic Construction Lag Screws designed for heavy-duty fastening in structural and outdoor construction applications. Each screw measures 8 inches in length by 5/16 inches in diameter and features a Type 17 cut point for clean wood penetration without pre-drilling in many applications. The bronze ceramic coating provides exceptional corrosion resistance, rated at 1500 hours of salt spray exposure, making these lags well-suited for treated lumber, exterior framing, and coastal environments. Installation is performed with a star drive bit, which reduces cam-out and delivers higher torque transfer. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors are the primary users of this fastener.

These lag screws are used in residential and light commercial structural framing, deck construction, ledger board attachment, and other exterior wood-to-wood or wood-to-structural-member connections. The coarse serrated thread pattern promotes aggressive bite and strong holding power in dimensional lumber, engineered wood, and pressure-treated material. The bronze ceramic coating is specifically formulated to resist the corrosive compounds found in ACQ and CA pressure-treated lumber, making these screws a direct alternative to stainless steel in many treated-wood applications.

Key Features

• Bronze ceramic coating rated to 1500 hours of salt spray resistance for long-term outdoor durability
• Type 17 cut point enables faster starts and reduces wood splitting at penetration
• Star drive recess delivers higher torque transfer and reduced cam-out versus Phillips or square drives
• Coarse serrated thread pattern provides aggressive holding power in treated and dimensional lumber
• Compatible with ACQ and CA pressure-treated lumber without the cost of stainless steel fasteners
• Backed by a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer

Compatibility

Designed for use in exterior and structural wood construction applications, including pressure-treated lumber framing, deck ledger attachment, and similar heavy-duty wood fastening tasks where corrosion resistance is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified carpenters or framers using a star drive bit with an impact driver or drill. Always follow applicable building codes, including IRC or IBC fastener schedule requirements for structural connections. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwoods or near board ends to prevent splitting. Do not mix dissimilar metals in contact with the fastener in corrosive environments, as galvanic reactions can reduce long-term holding performance.
