Value Collection 486267PR Hex Head Lag Screw 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 486267PR is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and structural assemblies. Measuring 5/16 inch in diameter with a 4.5-inch length under the head, this lag screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish for corrosion resistance. It is installed using a standard hex socket or wrench and is well suited for structural connection work in residential and light commercial construction, HVAC equipment mounting, and general trade fastening tasks.

This lag screw is a common fastener choice for attaching equipment brackets, mounting pads, wooden framing members, and structural supports. Its hex head design allows for high torque application with standard hand or power tools. Tradespeople including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors rely on this fastener type when securing equipment to wood substrates, wall framing, or roof decking. The zinc plating provides a basic level of protection against oxidation in dry to moderately humid environments.

Key Features

• 5/16 inch diameter hex head lag screw for structural and equipment-mounting applications
• 4.5-inch length under head provides deep thread engagement in wood substrates
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable tensile and shear strength in general fastening tasks
• Zinc plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in interior and sheltered exterior environments
• Hex head design compatible with standard sockets, wrenches, and impact drivers

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16 inch hex head lag screw for use in wood framing, structural mounting, and equipment installation applications common across HVAC, plumbing, and general construction trades.

Installation Notes

A licensed tradesperson or qualified installer should pre-drill an appropriate pilot hole to prevent wood splitting before driving this lag screw. Use a hex socket or impact driver sized to the hex head to ensure proper seating without stripping. Follow applicable building codes, including the IBC and relevant local standards, when using lag screws in structural connections. Do not overtighten, as this can strip threads or crack the substrate material.
