L H Dottie Co LAG38112 Hex Head Lag Bolt 3/8x1.5in

Product Description

The L H Dottie Co LAG38112 is a hex head lag bolt measuring 3/8 inch in diameter by 1.5 inches in length. Lag bolts are heavy-duty fasteners used to secure structural components to wood substrates. The hex head drive allows installation with a socket wrench or nut driver, providing the torque needed for solid, load-bearing connections. This fastener is sold individually and is a standard choice for trade professionals who need reliable wood-to-wood or hardware-to-wood fastening in the field.

Lag bolts in this size range see regular use across residential and light commercial construction and service work. HVAC technicians use them to secure equipment pads, mounting brackets, and duct support hardware to wood framing. Electricians use lag bolts for panel mounting and cable tray attachment. Plumbers and general contractors rely on this fastener size for pipe hangers, strut anchors, and structural blocking connections. The 3/8 inch by 1.5 inch size is well suited for applications where penetration depth is limited or a lower-profile fastener is required.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch diameter with 1.5 inch length for moderate-depth fastening applications
• Hex head drive accepts standard socket wrenches and nut drivers for high-torque installation
• Self-tapping coarse thread design cuts into wood without requiring a pre-threaded hole
• Single-unit packaging allows procurement of exact quantities needed

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8 inch hex head lag bolt suitable for wood framing, blocking, and structural fastening applications common in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trade work.

Installation Notes

Lag bolts of this diameter typically require a pilot hole drilled to the shank diameter to prevent wood splitting, particularly in hardwoods or near board edges. Installation is performed with a socket wrench, impact driver, or nut driver. Follow applicable building codes and equipment manufacturer mounting requirements when using lag bolts for structural or equipment-support applications. Always confirm substrate condition and wood species before selecting fastener length and pilot hole size.
