Value Collection 32312 Hex Head Lag Screw 1/4 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32312 is a 1/4 inch hex head lag screw designed for wood-to-wood and hardware-to-wood fastening applications in construction, mechanical installation, and equipment mounting. This screw measures 1.5 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. The hex drive head accepts a standard wrench or socket for installation, allowing controlled torque application without cam-out. This fastener is well-suited for structural and non-structural mounting tasks encountered by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians when securing equipment, strut, and brackets to wood framing or substrate.

This lag screw is commonly used in light-duty mounting applications across residential and light commercial jobsites. Typical uses include securing equipment housings, mounting blocks, junction boxes, and pipe or conduit hangers to wood framing members. The zinc plating makes it appropriate for dry or mildly humid interior environments. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 units, making it suitable for stocking on service vehicles or in shop inventory for repeat fastening tasks.

Key Features

• 1/4 inch diameter hex head lag screw for wood fastening applications
• 1.5 inch length under head provides adequate bite in wood framing members
• Grade 2 steel construction meets standard light-duty structural fastener requirements
• Zinc plating finish offers basic corrosion resistance in interior environments
• Hex head drive accepts standard wrenches and sockets for consistent installation torque

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4 inch hex head lag screw suitable for general wood fastening tasks in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installation work where a zinc-plated Grade 2 steel fastener is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by any licensed trade technician using a wrench, ratchet, or impact driver fitted with the appropriate hex socket. A pilot hole should be drilled prior to driving the lag screw to prevent wood splitting and to achieve proper seating depth. Power down or de-energize any equipment in the work area before securing mounting hardware nearby. Do not use this fastener in applications requiring stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized hardware for corrosion resistance.
