Value Collection 486226PR Hex Head Lag Screw 5/16x2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 486226PR is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and structural assemblies. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plated finish, this screw measures 5/16 inches in diameter with a 2-inch length under the head. The hex drive configuration allows installation with a standard socket or wrench, making it a practical choice for carpenters, general contractors, HVAC installers securing equipment to wood framing, and other trade professionals who need a reliable mechanical fastener for structural connections.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where wood-to-wood or metal-to-wood fastening is required. Common uses include mounting equipment brackets, attaching ledger boards, securing wood framing members, and anchoring support structures. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for interior applications and moderately protected exterior environments.

Key Features

• Hex head drive accepts standard socket wrench or nut driver for controlled installation
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile and shear strength for structural fastening
• Zinc plated finish offers corrosion resistance in dry and moderately protected environments
• 5/16-inch diameter with 2-inch length under head suits a wide range of medium-duty fastening tasks
• Coarse lag thread pattern designed for wood substrate engagement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag screw for general wood and structural fastening applications. Suitable for use wherever a 5/16-inch lag screw with 2-inch length under head is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople following applicable building codes. A pilot hole sized appropriately for the substrate material is strongly recommended to prevent wood splitting and ensure proper thread engagement. Use a socket wrench or impact driver with the correct hex socket to drive the fastener to the required seating depth. Do not overdrive, as this may strip the wood substrate or compromise holding strength.
