Value Collection 782376PS Hex Lag Screw 5/8 in 12 in Ss 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 782376PS is a 5/8-inch hex head lag screw with a 12-inch length under head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Lag screws of this size are heavy-duty fasteners designed to anchor structural members, equipment mounts, ledger boards, and framing components to wood substrates. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor, marine-adjacent, and high-moisture environments. The hex head accepts standard socket or wrench drive for high-torque installation. This fastener is appropriate for use by carpenters, general contractors, electricians, HVAC installers, and plumbers securing equipment supports or structural attachments.

This lag screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial construction and mechanical installation applications. Typical uses include mounting equipment pads, securing structural ledgers, anchoring heavy timber connections, and fastening brackets or hangers to wood framing. The 5/8-inch diameter and 12-inch length make it suitable for deep embedment applications requiring substantial pull-out resistance in dimensional lumber or engineered wood members.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/8-inch hex head lag screw for use in wood-to-wood and equipment-to-wood fastening applications where 18-8 stainless steel material and uncoated finish are specified.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this diameter and length require a properly sized pilot hole drilled prior to installation to prevent wood splitting and reduce drive torque. A pilot hole diameter appropriate to the lumber species and screw shank should be used per applicable building code or engineering specification. Installation is performed with a socket wrench or impact driver fitted with the correct hex socket. Do not over-drive; stop when the head is flush or snug against the bearing surface.
