Value Collection R52001236 Hex Head Lag Screw 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001236 is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications where corrosion resistance and structural holding power are required. Manufactured from AISI 1006-1022 grade steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, this fastener measures 1/2 inch in diameter with a 6-inch length under head. The hex drive head allows installation with standard socket or wrench tooling. It conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards, making it a reliable choice for contractors and tradespeople who need a consistent, code-referenced fastener for structural and general construction work.

This lag screw is suited for residential and commercial construction, structural wood connections, framing, ledger board attachment, and general heavy fastening tasks. The hot-dipped galvanized coating makes it appropriate for exterior, pressure-treated lumber, and other corrosive-environment applications. It is commonly specified by carpenters, general contractors, and trade professionals working on decks, structural framing, HVAC equipment mounting, and similar load-bearing assemblies.

Key Features

• Hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-lumber use
• Hex head design compatible with standard sockets and wrenches
• 6-inch length under head for deep embedment in structural members
• 1/2-inch diameter for high shear and withdrawal load capacity
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for consistent fitment
• AISI 1006-1022 material grade for reliable mechanical performance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag screw for use in wood-to-wood and hardware-to-wood structural fastening applications where a 1/2-inch diameter, 6-inch length fastener meeting ASME B18.2.1 is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or licensed tradespeople using a socket wrench or impact driver with the appropriate hex socket. A pilot hole should be bored prior to driving to prevent wood splitting and to achieve proper seating. Follow applicable building codes and structural fastening specifications for the application. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the wood fibers and reduce withdrawal strength.
