Value Collection 486326PR Hex Head Lag Screw 3/8 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 486326PR is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and similar substrates. Measuring 3/8 inches in diameter with a 2-inch length under head, this screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel and finished with zinc plating for corrosion resistance. The hex drive head allows for installation with a standard socket wrench or impact driver, making it a practical choice for structural and general-purpose fastening tasks. Carpenters, contractors, and maintenance technicians commonly specify this fastener when secure wood-to-wood or hardware-to-wood connections are required.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial construction, framing, deck building, ledger board attachment, and general structural fastening. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion protection appropriate for dry indoor applications and sheltered outdoor installations. The hex head configuration allows for high torque application without the risk of cam-out common with slotted or Phillips drive fasteners. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified carpenter or contractor following applicable building codes. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is strongly recommended to prevent wood splitting and to ease fastener installation. Use an appropriately sized socket or impact driver rated for the torque required by the application. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the wood fibers surrounding the fastener and reduce holding strength.
