Value Collection 3GBL9050208 Hex Lag Screw 5/16 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3GBL9050208 is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening in structural and general construction applications. Manufactured from AISI 1006-1022 grade steel with a hot dipped galvanized finish, this fastener delivers corrosion resistance suited for outdoor and exposed installations. The screw measures 5/16 inches in diameter with a 2-1/2 inch length under head, conforming to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. It is installed using a standard hex wrench or impact driver and is appropriate for wood-to-wood and wood-to-structural connections where a weather-resistant fastener is required.

This lag screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial construction, decking, framing, ledger board attachment, and general structural fastening. The hot dipped galvanized coating makes it well suited for pressure-treated lumber applications and exterior environments where moisture exposure is a concern. Trade professionals including carpenters, general contractors, and electricians securing conduit supports or equipment mounts to wood substrates will find this fastener appropriate for those tasks.

Key Features

• Hot dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exterior and pressure-treated lumber applications
• AISI 1006-1022 steel grade construction for reliable shear and pull-out strength
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for consistent fitment and installation
• Hex head drive accepts standard hex sockets and impact drivers
• 5/16 inch diameter with 2-1/2 inch length under head suits a wide range of structural fastening depths

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use hex head lag screw suitable for wood framing, decking, and structural fastening applications requiring a 5/16 inch hot dipped galvanized fastener meeting ASME B18.2.1 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, general contractors, and other trades using a hex socket or impact driver sized for the fastener head. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended to prevent wood splitting and reduce drive torque, particularly in dense or dry lumber. Follow applicable building codes and fastener schedules when using lag screws in structural connections. Always confirm fastener length and diameter meet load requirements for the specific application before installation.
