Value Collection 782300PS Hex Head Lag Screw 1/2 in 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 782300PS is a 1/2-inch hex head lag screw with a 6-inch length under the head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Lag screws of this type are heavy-duty fasteners designed for high-load wood-to-wood or wood-to-structural applications. The hex head drive style allows installation with a standard socket wrench or impact driver. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor, marine-adjacent, and high-moisture environments. This fastener is used by contractors, electricians mounting equipment to structural lumber, HVAC techs securing equipment pads, and general trades requiring a reliable, corrosion-resistant heavy fastener.

This lag screw is suited for structural fastening applications where a large-diameter, long-shank fastener is required. Common uses include mounting electrical panels, securing HVAC equipment bases, attaching structural lumber, and anchoring heavy fixtures to wood framing or timber. The uncoated 18-8 stainless steel finish makes it appropriate for corrosive or damp environments such as coastal installations or exposed exterior conditions.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch screw diameter for high-load structural fastening
• 6-inch length under head provides deep bite into wood or timber
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and rust
• Uncoated finish maintains full material properties without surface treatment
• Hex head drive compatible with standard sockets and impact drivers

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock hex head lag screw for structural fastening applications requiring a 1/2-inch diameter, 6-inch length, 18-8 stainless steel fastener.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this size should be installed by a qualified tradesperson following applicable building codes. Always pre-drill a pilot hole sized appropriately for the shank and thread diameter to prevent wood splitting and reduce installation torque. Use a properly rated socket wrench or impact driver; do not install with a screwdriver or undersized tool. For structural applications, verify fastener placement meets local building code or engineered fastening schedules.
