Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 486318PS is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and structural assemblies. It measures 3/8 inches in diameter with a 1-1/2 inch length under the head, making it suitable for medium-depth fastening tasks. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, this lag screw offers baseline corrosion resistance appropriate for interior and protected exterior installations. Licensed tradespeople and experienced installers working in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction rely on lag screws of this type to secure brackets, hangers, and equipment mounting hardware to structural members.

This lag screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial construction and mechanical trades for anchoring equipment supports, pipe hangers, conduit straps, and wood-to-wood connections. The hex head drive style allows for wrench or socket installation, providing consistent torque application. The zinc plating offers protection against light moisture exposure, making it appropriate for dry or semi-protected environments. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it a practical option for contractors stocking fasteners in bulk.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this type are installed by general contractors, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians when securing mounting hardware to wood framing or structural members. Pre-drilling a pilot hole of appropriate diameter is standard practice to prevent wood splitting and ensure proper seating. Always de-energize electrical systems and depressurize piping before working in proximity to live systems during equipment mounting tasks. Fastener selection should comply with applicable building codes and equipment manufacturer mounting requirements.
