Value Collection 164033 Hex Head Lag Screw Stainless 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 164033 is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and structural assemblies. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance without a surface coating, making it well suited for outdoor, wet, or chemically exposed environments. The 3/8-inch diameter shank and 2-inch length under head provide reliable bite and holding strength across a range of substrates. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and general contractors reach for lag screws like this when securing equipment hangers, pipe straps, equipment supports, and structural brackets.

This lag screw is used in residential and light commercial installations where a threaded wood fastener is needed to anchor brackets, hangers, equipment feet, or enclosures to wood framing or blocking. The hex head allows for installation with a standard socket wrench or impact driver, making it practical for in-field use in tight mechanical spaces or on structural lumber. The uncoated 18-8 stainless finish means no coating delamination over time in damp or outdoor conditions.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Hex head drive accepts standard sockets and impact drivers for fast installation
• 3/8-inch diameter provides substantial shank strength for structural fastening
• 2-inch length under head offers solid thread engagement in wood framing and blocking
• Uncoated finish eliminates coating failure risk in chemically exposed or high-moisture settings

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hex head lag screw for use in wood framing, structural blocking, and equipment mounting applications requiring a 3/8-inch diameter fastener with a 2-inch shank length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a socket wrench or impact driver sized to the hex head. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is strongly recommended to prevent wood splitting and reduce drive torque, particularly in dense lumber. Follow applicable building codes and structural specifications for fastener spacing and load requirements. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the wood substrate and reduce holding strength.
