Value Collection R50000266 Hex Head Lag Screw Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000266 is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and similar substrates. The screw features a 3/8-inch diameter and a 7-inch length under the head, providing substantial bite and holding strength in structural and utility installations. Constructed from steel with a zinc-plated finish, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and moderate-exposure outdoor use. This lag screw is a standard choice for carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who need to anchor equipment, brackets, or structural members securely to wood framing or blocking.

This lag screw sees common use in residential and commercial construction trades wherever a large-diameter, long-body fastener is needed. Typical applications include securing equipment mounting brackets, pipe hangers, duct support hardware, electrical panel anchors, and structural ledger boards to wood members. The hex head drive style accommodates standard socket wrenches and impact drivers, making installation fast in framing and equipment-setting scenarios.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch diameter provides high shear and pull-out resistance in wood substrates
• 7-inch length under head delivers deep thread engagement for heavy-load applications
• Hex head drive compatible with standard sockets and impact drivers
• Steel construction with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance
• Grade 2 classification suitable for general-purpose structural fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hex head lag screw for use in wood-framing and equipment-mounting applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and construction trades.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, HVAC technicians, plumbers, or electricians securing equipment and structural components to wood framing. Always pre-drill a pilot hole sized appropriately for the shank and thread diameter to prevent wood splitting and reduce drive torque. Power down or de-energize any nearby electrical equipment before drilling into walls or structural members. Consult applicable building codes, including the IBC or local structural requirements, when using lag screws in load-bearing connections.
