Value Collection R52001187 Hex Head Lag Screw 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001187 is a hex head lag screw designed for structural and general fastening applications where corrosion resistance and load-bearing strength are required. Manufactured from AISI 1006-1022 grade steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, this fastener meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. The screw measures 3/8 inches in diameter with a 3-1/2 inch length under head, making it suitable for medium to heavy-duty wood and structural connections. The hot-dipped galvanizing process deposits a thick zinc coating that provides long-term protection against rust and weathering in exterior and treated-lumber applications.

This lag screw is used in residential and light commercial construction, deck framing, ledger board attachment, timber connections, and similar structural wood fastening tasks. Carpenters, contractors, and trade professionals working with pressure-treated lumber, dimensional lumber, and engineered wood products will find this fastener appropriate for outdoor and indoor structural installations where a corrosion-resistant hex-drive lag is specified.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exterior and treated-lumber environments
• 3/8 inch diameter with 3-1/2 inch length under head for medium to heavy-duty wood connections
• Hex head drive for use with standard socket wrenches and impact drivers
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for consistent fit and performance
• AISI 1006-1022 material grade providing reliable tensile strength for structural fastening

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8 inch hex head lag screw suitable for structural wood fastening applications requiring a hot-dipped galvanized, ASME B18.2.1-compliant fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, framers, or general contractors using a socket wrench or impact driver sized for a 3/8 inch hex head. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is strongly recommended to prevent wood splitting and reduce drive torque, particularly in dense or dry lumber. Disconnect power or shut off any relevant utilities before fastening near electrical or plumbing runs. Follow applicable local building codes and IRC or IBC framing requirements for structural lag screw spacing and embedment depth.
