Value Collection 3GBL9050500 Hex Head Lag Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3GBL9050500 is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and structural assemblies. It measures 5/16 inches in diameter with a 5-inch length under the head, providing significant bite and holding strength in framing, decking, and general construction work. The fastener is manufactured from AISI 1006 steel and finished with a hot dipped galvanized coating that resists corrosion in outdoor and moisture-exposed environments. Conforming to ASME B18.2.1 standards, this lag screw is appropriate for contractors, carpenters, and general tradespeople who need a reliable, code-compliant fastener for structural connections.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial construction applications including wood-to-wood structural connections, ledger board attachments, post and beam assemblies, and deck framing. The hot dipped galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exterior installations where exposure to weather is a concern. It is typically driven with a hex socket or wrench rather than a screwdriver, allowing high torque installation without fastener head damage.

Key Features

• 5/16 inch diameter with 5-inch length under head for deep structural engagement
• Hot dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for exterior and wet-area use
• AISI 1006 steel construction for consistent mechanical properties
• Hex head drive style allows high-torque installation with standard socket tools
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for interchangeability and code compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag screw for wood structural applications where a 5/16 inch diameter, 5-inch fastener with hot dipped galvanized finish is specified.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this type are typically installed by carpenters, contractors, or structural tradespeople using a hex socket driver or impact wrench. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is standard practice to prevent wood splitting and reduce installation torque. Always consult applicable building codes and structural specifications before installation in load-bearing connections. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection when driving fasteners.
