Value Collection 3GBL9060208 Hex Head Lag Screw 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3GBL9060208 is a hex head lag screw built for heavy-duty fastening applications in construction, HVAC equipment mounting, and general trade work. The screw measures 3/8 inches in diameter with a 2-1/2 inch length under the head, providing solid holding power in wood substrates and structural members. Manufactured from AISI 1006-1022 grade steel with a hot dipped galvanized finish, this fastener resists corrosion in outdoor and exposed installations. It conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards, making it a reliable choice for code-conscious work. Licensed tradespeople and contractors install these in equipment pads, structural lumber, and framing applications where a hex-drive lag is required.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a corrosion-resistant steel fastener is needed. Common install scenarios include securing equipment mounting brackets, attaching ledger boards, fastening wood framing members, and anchoring structural hardware to dimensional lumber. The hex head design accepts a standard socket or wrench for high-torque driving without cam-out. The hot dipped galvanized coating makes it appropriate for exterior and pressure-treated lumber applications where plain steel would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch diameter with 2-1/2 inch length under head for substantial load-bearing fastening
• Hot dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in outdoor and treated-lumber environments
• Hex head design accepts socket or open-end wrench for high-torque installation
• Manufactured to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for consistent fit and specification compliance
• AISI 1006-1022 steel grade provides reliable mechanical strength for structural fastening tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag screw for use in wood structural members, equipment mounting, and general construction fastening applications where a 3/8 inch diameter lag conforming to ASME B18.2.1 is specified.

Installation Notes

A pilot hole should be drilled before driving lag screws into lumber to prevent wood splitting and ensure proper seating. Use a socket wrench or impact driver with the appropriate hex socket to drive the fastener to proper depth. Power down or de-energize any nearby electrical equipment before working in close proximity to energized systems. Follow applicable building codes and project specifications for pilot hole diameter and embedment depth requirements.
