Value Collection 32328 Hex Head Lag Screw 5/16 3in Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 32328 is a 5/16 inch hex head lag screw designed for structural fastening applications across construction, mechanical, and trade installations. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this lag screw provides corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose indoor and protected outdoor fastening. The hex head drive allows installation with a standard socket or wrench, making it a reliable choice for securing lumber, framing members, equipment mounts, and structural components where high pull-out resistance is required. The 3 inch length under head provides solid bite in wood substrates commonly encountered in residential and light commercial work.

This lag screw is suited for use by carpenters, HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors who need a dependable fastener for equipment mounting, structural attachment, and utility installations. Typical applications include securing equipment support brackets, mounting boards, attaching ledger boards, and anchoring mechanical system components to wood framing. The zinc-plated finish makes it appropriate for dry to moderately humid interior environments.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this type are installed by general contractors, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians during equipment and structural mounting work. Always pre-drill a pilot hole sized to the shank diameter to prevent wood splitting and reduce drive torque. Follow applicable building codes and manufacturer mounting specifications when using lag screws for structural or equipment support connections. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the thread engagement in the substrate.
