Hillman Fasteners 812068 Hex Head Lag Bolt 3/8x3 in 50pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 812068 is a hex head lag bolt supplied in a 50-piece pack, sized at 3/8 inch diameter by 3 inches in length and manufactured from galvanized steel. Lag bolts of this type are heavy-duty wood fasteners used to join structural members, secure hardware to framing, and anchor equipment to wood substrates. The hex head drive accepts a standard wrench or socket, making installation straightforward for carpenters, electricians, HVAC techs, and plumbers who need a reliable mechanical connection to wood structure. The hot-dip or electro-galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for interior and exposed exterior applications.

This lag bolt is suited for residential and light commercial construction and service work. Common applications include mounting electrical panels and conduit straps to framing, fastening HVAC equipment supports and pipe hangers to wood joists, securing deck ledger boards, and anchoring structural brackets. The 3-inch length provides sufficient thread engagement in standard dimensional lumber for a secure, load-bearing connection. The 50-piece pack quantity supports both project installs and service-truck stock.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch diameter by 3 inch length for solid thread engagement in dimensional lumber
• Galvanized steel construction resists corrosion in interior and exterior environments
• Hex head design accepts standard wrenches and sockets for fast, high-torque installation
• 50-piece pack quantity suits project builds and restocking service inventory

Compatibility

Designed for use as a general-purpose hex head lag bolt in wood framing and structural fastening applications where a 3/8 inch by 3 inch galvanized fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Lag bolts require a pilot hole drilled to the appropriate shank and root diameter before installation to prevent wood splitting. A socket wrench or impact driver with the correct hex socket size should be used to drive the fastener. Follow applicable building codes and equipment manufacturer mounting instructions for load and spacing requirements. Always confirm the substrate is sound, dry lumber before fastening.
