Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32324 is a 5/16 inch hex head lag screw designed for structural fastening applications across trade and construction work. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this lag screw delivers corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians securing equipment or brackets to wood framing. A pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw shank diameter is recommended to prevent wood splitting and ease installation. Use a 1/2 inch hex socket with a drill driver or impact wrench for consistent torque. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer equipment mounting requirements when using lag screws for structural or equipment support connections.
