Value Collection 486370PS Lag Screw 3/8in 5in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 486370PS is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and structural assemblies. This screw features a 3/8-inch nominal diameter and a 5-inch length under head, providing substantial grip depth for secure connections. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for general construction and mechanical installations. The hex drive head allows for installation with a standard hex socket or wrench, enabling controlled torque application. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors commonly use lag screws like this when anchoring equipment, brackets, and structural supports.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a large-diameter, long-length fastener is required to anchor into wood framing, lumber, or engineered wood products. Typical uses include securing pipe hangers, equipment mounting brackets, electrical panels, HVAC equipment bases, and structural wood connections. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion protection appropriate for dry or intermittently damp interior environments. Minimum order quantity is 25 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch diameter for high load-bearing fastening in wood substrates
• 5-inch length under head provides deep thread engagement for strong pull-out resistance
• Hex head design compatible with standard sockets and wrenches for efficient installation
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose structural fastener standards
• Zinc plating finish for corrosion resistance in interior and protected applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hex head lag screw suitable for use in wood framing, lumber, and engineered wood structural connections across residential and light commercial construction applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, general contractors, and trade professionals using a hex socket wrench or impact driver. Always pre-drill a pilot hole of appropriate diameter to prevent wood splitting and to allow controlled seating of the lag screw. Power down or de-energize any adjacent electrical equipment before fastening near electrical components. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for structural fastening requirements.
