Value Collection 486364PR Hex Head Lag Screw 3/8in X 4in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 486364PR is a 3/8-inch hex head lag screw designed for structural and heavy-duty fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, this lag screw provides corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose indoor and light outdoor installations. The hex head drive style accepts standard socket and wrench tools for high-torque installation. At 4 inches in length under the head, it delivers substantial thread engagement into wood substrates, making it a reliable choice for framing, ledger board attachment, bracket mounting, and equipment anchoring tasks performed by tradespeople across multiple disciplines.

This lag screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial construction and mechanical installations where a robust wood-to-wood or metal-to-wood fastener is required. Typical applications include securing pipe hangers, equipment mounting brackets, structural lumber connections, and electrical panel or conduit support blocking. The zinc plating makes it suitable for dry and moderately humid interior environments. This fastener is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 50 units.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this type are installed by licensed contractors, carpenters, and trade professionals using a socket wrench or impact driver with the appropriate hex socket. Always pre-drill a pilot hole sized to the lag screw shank and thread diameter to prevent wood splitting and ensure proper seating. Consult applicable building codes, including IBC or local structural fastening requirements, when using lag screws in load-bearing or ledger-board applications. Zinc-plated fasteners are not recommended for direct contact with pressure-treated lumber or exterior wet environments where a hot-dip galvanized or stainless fastener would be more appropriate.
