Value Collection 782409PS Lag Screw 1/2 in 12 in Stainless 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 782409PS is a heavy-duty hex head lag screw designed for structural fastening applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Measuring 1/2 inch in diameter with a 12-inch length under the head, this lag screw is manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. The hex drive head allows installation with standard wrenches or impact drivers. This fastener is suited for trade professionals in construction, plumbing, HVAC equipment mounting, electrical panel anchoring, and general mechanical assembly where pull-out strength and long-term durability in wet or outdoor environments are required.

This lag screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial construction for anchoring structural lumber, mounting equipment to wood framing, and securing heavy fixtures. The 12-inch shaft length makes it well suited for through-bolting thick lumber assemblies or penetrating deep into structural members. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and oxidation, making it appropriate for exterior, coastal, and high-humidity installation environments. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one unit.

• Sold as a single unit with no minimum order requirement beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose structural lag screw suitable for wood-to-wood and equipment-to-wood fastening applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction trades.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with structural fastening requirements applicable to the project. A pilot hole sized appropriately for a 1/2-inch lag screw should be pre-drilled to prevent wood splitting and to ease installation. Use a torque wrench or impact driver with a hex socket to drive the fastener; do not overdrive, as this can strip the wood fibers and reduce holding strength. Consult applicable building codes for required embedment depth and fastener spacing when used in structural assemblies.
