Value Collection 486236PR Hex Head Lag Screw 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 486236PR is a 5/16-inch hex head lag screw with a 2-1/2-inch length under the head, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. Lag screws of this type are heavy-duty wood fasteners used to anchor structural elements, equipment mounting brackets, and support assemblies to wood substrates. The zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance for general indoor and sheltered outdoor applications. This fastener is installed by licensed contractors, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians when securing equipment, conduit supports, pipe straps, or structural lumber connections.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial construction and mechanical trades work. Common applications include fastening equipment mounting rails to wood framing, securing electrical panel backing boards, anchoring pipe hangers, and attaching HVAC equipment support structures to wood blocking or joists. The hex head drive style accepts a standard socket or wrench for high-torque installation without driver cam-out. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag screw for general wood fastening applications across mechanical, electrical, and construction trades. No specific system or OEM compatibility data was provided for this part.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, contractors, and licensed trade professionals using a socket wrench or impact driver fitted with the appropriate socket size. A pilot hole should be drilled prior to driving to prevent wood splitting and ensure accurate placement. Consult applicable building codes and fastener load tables to confirm correct screw size and spacing for structural connections. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the wood substrate and reduce holding strength.
