Value Collection 782018PR Hex Head Lag Screw 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 782018PR is a 1/4-inch hex head lag screw with a 1-1/2-inch length under head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Lag screws of this type are heavy-duty wood-to-wood or wood-to-material fasteners driven with a wrench or socket, not a screwdriver. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance, making this screw suitable for outdoor, marine-adjacent, or moisture-exposed installations. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople use lag screws like this when anchoring equipment supports, mounting brackets, or securing structural blocking in wood framing.

This lag screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a corrosion-resistant fastener is required in wood substrate. Typical uses include mounting pipe hangers, equipment pads, duct support framing, electrical panel backing boards, and similar trade hardware installations. The 1/4-inch diameter and 1-1/2-inch shank length suit applications where a compact, strong fastener is needed without excessive penetration depth. This item is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Installation Notes

A pilot hole should be drilled before driving lag screws into wood to prevent splitting and ensure proper seating. Use a socket wrench or nut driver sized to the hex head. Power down or de-energize any nearby electrical equipment before installing fasteners in panels or enclosures. Follow applicable building and mechanical codes for fastener spacing and load requirements.
