Value Collection 3GBL9080208 Hex Lag Screw Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3GBL9080208 is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in construction, HVAC equipment mounting, and structural assembly work. The screw measures 0.5 inches in diameter with a 2.5 inches length under head, providing substantial bite in wood and composite substrates. Manufactured from AISI 1006 low-carbon steel with a hot dipped galvanized finish, it delivers solid corrosion resistance for both interior and exterior installations. Licensed tradespeople and contractors rely on this fastener for structural connections where a hex-drive, high-torque installation is required.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications including securing equipment housings, mounting structural lumber connections, attaching ledger boards, and fastening heavy fixtures to wood framing. The hex head profile accepts standard socket wrenches and impact drivers, making it a practical choice for field installation. Its galvanized coating makes it appropriate for exposed or damp environments where bare steel fasteners would be prone to rust.

Key Features

• 0.5 inches diameter hex head lag screw with 2.5 inches length under head
• Hot dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exterior and damp environments
• AISI 1006 low-carbon steel construction for reliable ductility and shear performance
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for hex head fasteners
• Hex drive head compatible with standard sockets and impact wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fastener for structural wood connections and equipment mounting applications where a 0.5 inches hex head lag screw meeting ASME B18.2.1 is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed contractors, carpenters, or trade professionals using a socket wrench or impact driver sized for the hex head. A pilot hole should be drilled prior to driving the lag screw to prevent wood splitting and to ensure proper seating depth. Follow applicable building codes and structural specifications for correct embedment depth and fastener spacing. Do not overtorque, as this can strip the substrate or deform the fastener head.
