Value Collection 486118PR Hex Head Lag Screw 1/4 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 486118PR is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications where a strong, reliable mechanical connection is required. This screw features a 1/4-inch diameter and a 1-1/2-inch length under head, making it suitable for medium-depth fastening into wood, framing members, or structural substrates. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, it provides corrosion resistance for both interior and moderate exterior use. This fastener is a standard choice for HVAC equipment mounting, electrical panel bracing, plumbing fixture anchoring, and general structural assembly work performed by trade professionals.

This lag screw is well suited for residential and light commercial installation scenarios where a hex-drive fastener is required for secure attachment to wood framing, blocking, or sheeting. Its hex head allows for socket wrench or impact driver installation, making it practical for tight spaces and repetitive fastening tasks common in mechanical system rough-in work. Sold in multiples of 100, this screw is intended for job-site or shop stock replenishment.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-inch hex head lag screw for use in wood framing, structural fastening, and equipment mounting applications common across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex socket or impact driver sized to the hex head. Pre-drilling a pilot hole into the receiving material is strongly recommended to prevent splitting and ensure proper seating. Power down or de-energize any adjacent systems before fastening near electrical or mechanical equipment. Follow applicable building and mechanical codes for fastener spacing and embedment depth requirements.
