Value Collection R52001233 Hex Lag Screw 1/2x5 in Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001233 is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and structural assemblies. Built from AISI 1006-1022 grade steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, this fastener resists corrosion in both exterior and wet-environment installations. The screw measures 1/2 inch in diameter with a 5-inch length under head, providing substantial thread engagement for load-bearing connections. It conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards, making it a reliable choice for contractors, carpenters, and structural trades who require consistent, code-compliant fasteners on the job site.

This lag screw is suited for residential and commercial construction applications including wood-to-wood connections, ledger board attachments, post anchoring, and structural framing. The hot-dipped galvanized coating makes it appropriate for pressure-treated lumber and outdoor installations where bare steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. It is commonly specified by framing crews, deck builders, and general contractors working under building codes that require galvanized fasteners in exterior or treated-wood applications.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to electroplated alternatives
• Hex drive head allows high-torque installation with a standard socket or impact driver
• ASME B18.2.1 compliant for consistent dimensional accuracy across the lot
• AISI material grade 1006-1022 steel provides adequate shear and tensile strength for structural connections
• 1/2-inch diameter with 5-inch length under head delivers deep thread engagement in structural lumber

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag screw for use in wood-framing and structural fastening applications where a 1/2-inch diameter, 5-inch galvanized lag screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this diameter should be installed by qualified carpenters or structural trades following applicable building codes. A pilot hole sized to the shank diameter is strongly recommended to prevent wood splitting and to reduce drive torque. Use a socket wrench or impact driver rated for 1/2-inch drive fasteners. Always verify local building code requirements for fastener specifications in structural and exterior applications.
