Value Collection 32326 Hex Head Lag Screw 5/16 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32326 is a 5/16-inch hex head lag screw designed for structural and mechanical fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw measures 2-1/2 inches in length under the head, making it suitable for medium-duty wood-to-wood and wood-to-framing connections. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for interior and protected exterior installations. Tradespeople and contractors select this fastener when a reliable, standardized lag screw is needed for general structural assembly work.

This lag screw sees common use in HVAC equipment mounting, electrical panel and junction box support structures, plumbing hanger installations, and general construction framing tasks. Its hex head drive allows installation with a standard socket wrench or impact driver, making it practical for tight spaces and repetitive fastening on the job site. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial trade work where a Grade 2 steel fastener meets the load and code requirements of the application.

Key Features

• Hex head drive for use with standard sockets or impact drivers
• 5/16-inch diameter for medium-duty structural fastening
• 2-1/2-inch length under head for solid material engagement
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose strength
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in protected environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose lag screw for wood-to-wood and wood-to-structural-member fastening in residential and light commercial construction and trade installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or trade technicians during equipment mounting or structural assembly. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is strongly recommended to prevent wood splitting and reduce fastener stress. Ensure the substrate material and fastener grade meet the load requirements specified by applicable building codes before installation.
