Value Collection 35BL9080300 Hex Lag Screw 1/2x3 in Ss 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 35BL9080300 is a 1/2-inch hex head lag screw with a 3-inch length under head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Lag screws of this type are heavy-duty fasteners used to anchor structural wood members, secure equipment mounting brackets, and attach hardware to timber framing. The hex drive head accepts standard socket tooling, and the coarse thread profile provides strong holding power in wood substrates. This fastener is suited for plumbers, electricians, HVAC installers, and general contractors who need a corrosion-resistant screw for structural or equipment-mounting applications.

This lag screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial installations where moisture exposure or corrosion resistance is a concern. Typical applications include securing pipe hangers, conduit straps, equipment pads, and structural lumber connections in mechanical rooms, crawl spaces, and outdoor installations. The 18-8 stainless steel grade is appropriate for damp or mildly corrosive environments where carbon steel fasteners would be unsuitable.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in damp and mildly corrosive environments
• Hex head drive accepts standard 3/4-inch socket or wrench for installation and removal
• 3-inch length under head provides deep thread engagement in wood framing and blocking
• 1/2-inch nominal diameter for heavy-duty structural holding capacity
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating delamination over time

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag screw for use in wood framing, timber construction, and equipment-mounting applications requiring a 1/2-inch diameter fastener with a 3-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

A licensed tradesperson or experienced installer should pre-drill a pilot hole sized appropriately for the lag screw diameter before driving to prevent wood splitting and to reduce installation torque. A hex socket or open-end wrench is required for installation. Verify that the base material and fastener grade are appropriate for the load and environmental conditions prior to installation. Consult applicable building codes for structural fastener requirements.
