Value Collection 782220PS Hex Head Lag Screw 3/8 in Ss 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 782220PS is a 3/8 inch hex head lag screw designed for structural fastening applications where corrosion resistance is essential. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this lag screw measures 4.5 inches in length under head, making it suitable for anchoring into wood substrates where pull-out resistance and long-term durability are required. The hex drive head allows installation with standard wrenches or socket drivers. Tradespeople working in outdoor, marine-adjacent, or high-moisture environments favor 18-8 stainless steel fasteners for their resistance to oxidation without requiring additional protective coatings.

This lag screw is used in a range of construction and mechanical trade applications, including framing, equipment mounting, deck and fence work, and structural anchoring tasks where threaded fastener integrity over time is a priority. The 3/8 inch diameter and 4.5 inch undehead length suit medium-to-heavy load connections in wood members. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hex head lag screw suitable for wood structural fastening applications requiring 3/8 inch diameter, 18-8 stainless steel fasteners with hex drive heads.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or mechanical tradespeople using a wrench, nut driver, or socket set sized for the hex head. Always pre-drill a pilot hole sized appropriately for the screw diameter to prevent wood splitting and to ease installation torque. Shut down and de-energize any adjacent electrical systems before fastening near panel enclosures or equipment. Consult applicable building codes for structural fastener requirements in your jurisdiction.
