Value Collection R50000167 Hex Head Lag Screw 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000167 is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and structural assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, this fastener measures 5/16 inches in diameter with a 5-inch length under head. The hex drive allows installation with a standard wrench or socket, providing reliable torque transfer. This screw is suited for use in framing, decking, equipment mounting, and general construction or mechanical trade work where a corrosion-resistant, load-bearing threaded fastener is required.

This lag screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial construction, as well as HVAC equipment mounting, electrical panel support structures, and plumbing fixture anchoring. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and covered outdoor environments. Tradespeople working in carpentry, mechanical installation, and general contracting will find this fastener suitable for wood-to-wood and wood-to-structure connections requiring a strong, threaded grip.

Key Features

• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable strength in general fastening applications
• Zinc plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in covered or indoor environments
• Hex head drive compatible with standard wrenches and socket sets
• 5-inch length under head provides deep thread engagement in wood substrates
• 5/16-inch diameter suitable for medium-load structural and mounting applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag screw for use in wood framing, structural mounting, and general mechanical trade fastening applications requiring a 5/16-inch diameter threaded fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or mechanical tradespeople using a hex socket, impact driver, or wrench. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is strongly recommended to prevent wood splitting and ensure accurate seating. Always power down any adjacent electrical equipment and shut off relevant utilities before working in proximity to live systems. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for load ratings and fastener spacing.
