Value Collection 486124PS Hex Head Lag Screw 1/4 in Zinc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 486124PS is a hex head lag screw designed for fastening applications that require a strong, durable threaded connection into wood or similar materials. With a 1/4 inch nominal diameter and a 1-3/4 inch length under head, this screw is suited for light-to-medium duty structural and utility fastening tasks. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plated finish, it provides baseline corrosion resistance for general indoor and sheltered outdoor use. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers commonly use lag screws like this one to secure equipment supports, brackets, and mounting hardware to wood framing or blocking.

This lag screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where fastening into wood substrate is required. Common uses include mounting conduit straps, pipe hangers, equipment pads, access panels, and structural brackets to wood joists, studs, or beams. The hex drive head allows installation with a standard wrench or socket, making it practical in tight installation spaces typical of mechanical and electrical rough-in work.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this type are installed by electricians, HVAC mechanics, and plumbers during equipment and hardware mounting work. A pilot hole should be drilled prior to installation to prevent wood splitting and to ensure proper seating of the threads. Use a correctly sized socket or wrench to drive the fastener to adequate depth without overdriving. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer bracket specifications when using lag screws for structural or load-bearing connections.
