Value Collection C50000126 Hex Lag Screw 5/16 in Grade 2 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C50000126 is a 5/16-inch hex head lag screw designed for structural fastening applications in wood and similar materials. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this lag screw provides reliable holding strength and basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. The hex drive head accepts standard wrenches and sockets for fast, controlled installation. At 1 inch in length under head, this screw is suited for lighter-duty connections where a compact fastener profile is required. Sold in a pack of 50, the C50000126 is practical for both single-job use and restocking a trade supply kit.

Hex head lag screws in this size range are commonly used in residential and light commercial construction, HVAC equipment mounting, electrical panel and conduit support blocking, plumbing fixture backing, and general wood-to-wood structural connections. The 5/16-inch diameter and 1-inch length under head make this fastener appropriate for applications requiring a low-profile yet strong mechanical connection in dimensional lumber, engineered wood, or similar substrates. The zinc plating provides protection against oxidation in dry or occasionally damp environments.

Installation Notes

Lag screws should be installed by a qualified tradesperson following applicable building codes and fastener manufacturer guidelines. Always pre-drill a pilot hole sized appropriately for the screw diameter and substrate material to prevent wood splitting and ensure full thread engagement. Use a socket wrench or impact driver with the correct hex socket; do not overdrive, as this can strip the head or reduce holding strength. Follow all applicable local building and mechanical codes when using lag screws for structural or equipment-mounting connections.
