Value Collection 486126PR Hex Head Lag Screw 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 486126PR is a 1/4-inch hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening in wood and structural framing applications. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, this lag screw provides corrosion resistance suitable for general construction and mechanical assembly. The hex head drive allows for high-torque installation using a standard wrench or socket. At 2 inches in length under the head, it is sized for medium-depth wood-to-wood or hardware-to-wood connections. Licensed tradespeople and contractors in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction routinely use lag screws of this type for mounting equipment, securing framing, and anchoring structural components.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial construction and equipment installation tasks. It is commonly used to secure wood framing members, mount equipment brackets, attach ledger boards, or fasten structural hardware to lumber. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion protection for interior and sheltered exterior applications. This item is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for contractors and tradespeople purchasing in bulk for ongoing project use.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this type are typically installed by carpenters, general contractors, or licensed tradespeople using a socket wrench or impact driver fitted with the appropriate hex socket. A pilot hole should be drilled before installation to prevent wood splitting and ensure accurate placement. Follow applicable building codes, including IBC or local structural fastening requirements, when using lag screws in load-bearing or structural applications. Always verify that the fastener diameter, length, and material grade are appropriate for the intended load and substrate before installation.
