Value Collection C645118 Hex Head Lag Screw 1/2 in 6 in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C645118 is a 1/2 inch hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and structural assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this lag screw resists corrosion in both interior and exterior environments. The 6 inch length under head provides deep thread engagement for strong pull-out resistance in dense lumber and engineered wood substrates. Each package contains 5 screws. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors use lag screws like this to secure equipment mounting brackets, pipe hangers, strut supports, and structural blocking.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a corrosion-resistant fastener is required. Typical uses include anchoring pipe hangers, equipment pads, wood ledgers, and structural supports to wood framing. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for damp locations, treated lumber, and coastal environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and treated-lumber environments
• 1/2 inch diameter hex head drive for use with standard hex sockets or wrenches
• 6 inch length under head provides deep thread engagement and strong pull-out resistance
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional integrity without added coating buildup
• Sold in a 5-piece package to support small job lots and service truck inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/2 inch hex head lag screw for general structural and equipment-mounting fastening into wood substrates where a corrosion-resistant stainless steel fastener is required.

Installation Notes

A pilot hole sized to the root diameter of the lag screw thread should be drilled prior to installation to prevent splitting the substrate and reduce drive torque. Drive with a hex socket and impact driver or torque wrench rated for the application. Follow applicable building codes and equipment manufacturer anchoring requirements when using lag screws to secure structural connections or mechanical equipment supports. Do not overtighten, as 18-8 stainless steel fasteners can be susceptible to galling under excessive rotational load.
