Value Collection 782410PS Hex Head Lag Screw Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 782410PS is a 1/2-inch hex head lag screw with a 14-inch length under head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Lag screws of this type are heavy-duty wood fasteners used to secure structural members, timber framing, ledger boards, and equipment mounting plates. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for outdoor, coastal, and high-moisture environments. The hex drive head requires a standard socket wrench or hex bit driver for installation. This fastener is sized for applications that demand high pull-out strength and long-term durability in exposed conditions.

This lag screw is suited for residential and commercial construction, timber framing, deck ledger attachment, structural wood connections, and equipment anchorage to wood substrates. Contractors, carpenters, and general tradespeople commonly install fasteners of this type when corrosion resistance and structural integrity are required. The 1/2-inch diameter and 14-inch length make it appropriate for connecting thick lumber assemblies or securing heavy loads to wood framing.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch screw diameter for high load-bearing and pull-out strength
• 14-inch length under head for deep penetration into thick timber or stacked lumber
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Uncoated finish — no plating or coating that could introduce galvanic incompatibility with treated lumber hardware
• Hex head drive for high-torque installation with standard socket or impact driver

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2-inch hex head lag screw for structural wood fastening applications requiring 18-8 stainless steel corrosion resistance.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this diameter and length typically require a pilot hole to prevent wood splitting — consult applicable building codes and fastener manufacturer guidance for proper pilot hole sizing. A socket wrench, impact wrench, or heavy-duty impact driver with the appropriate hex socket is required. Follow local building codes, including IRC and IBC provisions, for structural fastener placement and spacing. Do not over-torque, as this can strip the wood fibers and reduce pull-out resistance.
