Value Collection 3GBL9050600 Hex Lag Screw 5/16 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3GBL9050600 is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and structural assemblies. This screw measures 5/16 inches in diameter with a 6-inch length under the head, providing deep thread engagement for strong, lasting hold. Manufactured from AISI 1006 steel with a hot dipped galvanized finish, it resists corrosion in exterior and moisture-exposed environments. It meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards, making it a reliable choice for contractors, carpenters, and trade professionals who require consistent, code-compliant fasteners on the job site.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial construction tasks including deck framing, ledger board attachment, structural timber connections, and outdoor wood assemblies. The hot dipped galvanized coating makes it appropriate for pressure-treated lumber applications where corrosion resistance is required. It is a standard choice for carpenters, general contractors, and framing crews working on wood-frame structures. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 50 units, this fastener is well suited for contractors stocking up for ongoing projects.

Key Features

• 5/16-inch diameter with 6-inch length under head for deep structural engagement
• Hot dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-lumber use
• AISI 1006 low-carbon steel construction for consistent mechanical performance
• Hex head drive for use with standard wrenches or impact drivers

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag screw for use in wood-frame construction, timber framing, and exterior structural fastening applications where a 5/16-inch diameter, 6-inch lag screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this type are typically installed by carpenters, framers, or general contractors using a socket wrench, adjustable wrench, or impact driver with the appropriate hex socket. A pilot hole should be drilled prior to installation to prevent wood splitting and to achieve proper seating depth. When fastening into pressure-treated lumber, verify that the hot dipped galvanized coating meets applicable code requirements for the lumber treatment level used. Follow local building codes and any applicable IRC or IBC fastener schedule requirements for structural connections.
