Value Collection 486564PR Hex Head Lag Screw 1/2in 4in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 486564PR is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening in wood and structural applications. This screw features a 1/2-inch diameter and a 4-inch length under the head, giving it significant holding power in framing, decking, ledger board attachment, and general structural assembly work. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for both interior and sheltered exterior installations. Carpenters, construction crews, and general contractors rely on lag screws of this specification for load-bearing connections where through-bolts are not practical.

This lag screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial construction tasks requiring a strong mechanical connection into wood members. Typical applications include deck framing, beam connections, fence post hardware, joist hangers, and heavy timber joinery. The hex head drive style allows installation with a standard socket wrench or impact driver, making it well suited to production fastening work where speed and consistency matter.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch diameter for high shear and withdrawal load capacity in structural wood connections
• 4-inch length under the head for deep thread engagement in thick lumber or laminated members
• Hex head drive style compatible with standard sockets and impact drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction provides reliable tensile and yield strength for general structural use
• Zinc plating finish adds corrosion resistance for interior and sheltered exterior applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-inch hex head lag screw for use in wood-to-wood and hardware-to-wood structural fastening applications where a coarse-thread lag fastener of this diameter and length is specified.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this diameter should be installed by a qualified carpenter or construction professional following applicable building codes. A pilot hole is strongly recommended to prevent wood splitting and to reduce installation torque. Use a socket wrench or impact driver sized for a hex head of this diameter. Always verify that the fastener specification meets the load requirements called out in the project plans or local building code before installation.
