Value Collection 486136PR Hex Head Lag Screw 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 486136PR is a 1/4 inch hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in construction, mechanical, and trade installations. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, this lag screw measures 2.5 inches in length under the head and provides reliable holding strength in wood framing, equipment mounting, and structural connections. The hex head design accepts standard wrenches and hex sockets for installation torque. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for interior and protected exterior applications.

This lag screw is well suited for residential and light commercial trade work where a 1/4 inch diameter fastener is required. Typical applications include securing HVAC equipment feet to wood curbs or platforms, mounting electrical panels or junction boxes to framing, attaching plumbing hangers or brackets, and general structural wood-to-wood fastening. The coarse thread pattern on lag screws is designed to bite into wood substrate and resist pullout under load.

Key Features

• Hex head accepts standard 7/16 inch wrenches or hex sockets for fast installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile strength for general trade fastening
• Zinc plating finish for basic corrosion resistance in dry and protected environments
• 2.5 inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening tasks in framing and mounting
• 1/4 inch diameter is a common trade size for equipment anchoring and bracket attachment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1/4 inch hex head lag screw for use in wood substrate fastening applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction trades.

Installation Notes

Lag screws are typically installed by licensed contractors and trade professionals using a wrench, ratchet, or impact driver fitted with the appropriate hex socket. A pilot hole should be drilled in the wood substrate before driving the lag screw to prevent splitting and ensure accurate seating. Follow applicable building codes, including IRC and IBC guidelines, for fastener sizing and spacing requirements. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the substrate or compromise thread engagement.
