Value Collection 5024LG Hex Head Lag Screw Steel Galvanized

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 5024LG is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in structural and general construction work. It features a 0.5 inch nominal diameter and a 1.5 inch length under head, manufactured from AISI 1006 low-carbon steel with a hot dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. The hex drive head allows installation with a standard socket wrench or impact driver. This fastener meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards, making it a dependable choice for contractors, carpenters, and tradespeople who require consistent, specification-compliant hardware.

This lag screw is suited for wood-to-wood and wood-to-structural-member connections in residential and light commercial construction. Common applications include ledger board attachment, deck framing, fence post installation, and general timber connections where a through-bolt is not practical. The hot dipped galvanized finish makes it appropriate for exterior and pressure-treated lumber applications where moisture exposure is a factor.

Key Features

• 0.5 inch diameter hex head lag screw for high-load fastening
• 1.5 inch length under head suits shallow structural connections
• Hot dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for exterior use
• AISI 1006 low-carbon steel construction for consistent mechanical properties
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for reliable fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag screw conforming to ASME B18.2.1 for use in wood structural connections where a 0.5 inch diameter fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this diameter should be installed by a qualified carpenter or construction tradesperson. A pilot hole sized to the shank diameter is required to prevent wood splitting and ensure proper seating. Always consult applicable building codes and connection schedules before selecting fastener length and spacing. Do not exceed the load ratings specified by the structural plans or lumber manufacturer.
