Value Collection 782342PS 5/8 in Hex Lag Screw Stainless 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 782342PS is a 5/8-inch hex head lag screw with a 5-inch length under the head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Lag screws in this size range are heavy-duty wood fasteners used to anchor structural members, equipment mounts, and support brackets to wood substrates. The 18-8 stainless alloy provides strong corrosion resistance without a surface coating, making this screw well suited for installations where bare metal performance and long-term durability in moisture-exposed environments are required. The hex head accepts a standard socket or wrench drive for consistent torque application.

This lag screw is used in structural fastening applications across residential and commercial construction, HVAC equipment mounting, electrical panel or conduit support anchoring, pool equipment bases, and plumbing fixture bracing. Any application requiring a large-diameter, high-strength fastener driven into wood framing or lumber backing is a typical use case. The uncoated 18-8 stainless steel finish makes it appropriate for outdoor, wet, or coastal environments where galvanic compatibility with stainless hardware is also a consideration.

Key Features

• 5/8-inch screw diameter for high load-bearing capacity in wood substrates
• 5-inch length under the head provides deep thread engagement in framing members
• 18-8 stainless steel construction delivers corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Uncoated finish maintains material integrity without surface treatments that can flake or wear
• Hex head design accepts standard socket drives for controlled installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for structural wood anchoring applications requiring a 5/8-inch hex head lag screw in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this diameter require a properly sized pilot hole to prevent wood splitting and to allow full thread engagement — consult applicable building codes or fastener manufacturer guidelines for pilot hole sizing. A ratchet or impact driver with the correct hex socket should be used to drive the fastener; do not use pliers or adjustable wrenches that can round the head. Follow applicable building codes, including IBC and local structural fastening requirements, when using lag screws in load-bearing connections.
