Value Collection 782407PS Hex Lag Screw 1/2 in 10 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 782407PS is a 1/2-inch hex head lag screw with a 10-inch length under head, manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Lag screws of this size are heavy-duty wood fasteners used to anchor structural members, attach ledger boards, secure equipment mounts, and fasten hardware to timber framing. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor and moisture-exposed installations. The hex head drive accepts standard socket or wrench tooling for high-torque installation into dense or engineered lumber. This fastener is typically installed by carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians securing equipment to structural framing.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a large-diameter, long fastener is required for structural load transfer. Common uses include mounting HVAC equipment supports, attaching pipe hangers or conduit straps to wood framing, securing deck ledger boards, and anchoring heavy structural brackets. The 10-inch under-head length provides deep thread engagement in timber members. The uncoated 18-8 stainless steel finish makes it appropriate for treated lumber applications and corrosive environments where carbon steel fasteners would degrade over time.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch screw diameter for heavy-duty structural fastening
• 10-inch length under head for deep thread engagement in timber
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Uncoated finish compatible with pressure-treated lumber
• Hex head drive accepts standard socket and wrench tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-inch hex head lag screw for use in wood substrates including dimensional lumber, engineered lumber, and timber framing where a large-diameter structural fastener is required.

Installation Notes

A licensed tradesperson or qualified installer should pre-drill a pilot hole sized appropriately for a 1/2-inch lag screw to prevent wood splitting and reduce installation torque. Use a 3/4-inch socket or wrench to drive the fastener; do not use impact drivers without appropriate sockets rated for the fastener size. Follow applicable building codes including IBC and IRC for structural fastener spacing and embedment depth requirements. Ensure all power and utilities serving equipment being mounted are shut off before beginning any fastener installation work on live systems.
