Value Collection 782404PS Hex Head Lag Screw 1/2x8 Ss 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 782404PS is a 1/2-inch hex head lag screw with an 8-inch length under head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Lag screws of this type are heavy-duty fasteners used to anchor structural members, equipment, and hardware to wood substrates. The hex drive head accepts standard hex wrenches and impact drivers. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for exterior and wet-environment applications. This fastener is sold individually and is appropriate for use by contractors, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians securing equipment supports, pipe hangers, or structural brackets.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial construction and mechanical trade applications. Common uses include mounting equipment pads, securing wood ledgers, anchoring pipe hangers, attaching HVAC equipment support rails, and fastening electrical panel or conduit support structures to wood framing. The uncoated 18-8 stainless steel finish makes it appropriate for damp, coastal, or chemically exposed environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch diameter with 8-inch length under head for deep structural engagement
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Hex head drive accepts standard wrenches and impact drivers
• Uncoated finish — no coating degradation over time
• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hex head lag screw for use in wood substrate applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction trades.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using an appropriately sized hex socket or impact driver. A pilot hole should be drilled prior to driving to prevent wood splitting and to ease installation of the 1/2-inch shank. Follow applicable building codes and equipment manufacturer torque recommendations for structural fastener applications. Do not use power tools at excessive speed, which can strip the hex head or overstress the substrate.
