Value Collection HXLI203714000-050BX Hex Head Lag Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HXLI203714000-050BX is a hex head lag screw built for heavy-duty fastening applications in construction, framing, and structural assembly work. It measures 3/8 inches in diameter with a 14-inch length under the head, giving it the reach needed for thick timber connections, ledger boards, and similar structural tie-ins. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plated finish, this lag screw offers solid corrosion resistance for both interior and sheltered exterior installations. It is sized and configured for installation by carpenters, general contractors, and trade professionals working with wood-frame structures.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial construction where large-diameter fasteners are required to connect dimensional lumber, secure structural members, or anchor hardware to wood substrates. The hex head drive style is compatible with standard socket wrenches and impact drivers, making it practical for framing crews and field installers working in tight or high-volume conditions. The zinc plated finish adds a layer of protection against oxidation in typical indoor and covered outdoor environments.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for structural wood connections requiring 3/8-inch hex head lag screws in residential and commercial framing applications.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this size are typically installed by carpenters or structural tradespeople using a socket wrench or heavy-duty impact driver. A pilot hole should be drilled prior to installation to prevent wood splitting and reduce drive torque requirements. Follow applicable building codes, including local IRC or IBC provisions, for fastener spacing and embedment depth in structural applications. Do not install without a pilot hole in dense or engineered lumber.
