Value Collection R63234243 Hex Lag Screw 1/4x3 Ss 18-8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63234243 is a 1/4-inch hex head lag screw with a 3-inch length under the head, manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Lag screws of this type are heavy-duty wood fasteners used to anchor structural members, equipment supports, and brackets. The hex drive head accepts a standard wrench or socket, making installation straightforward in both new construction and retrofit applications. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides solid corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor environments without the need for a protective coating.

This lag screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a reliable, corrosion-resistant wood fastener is required. Typical uses include mounting HVAC equipment support frames, securing treated lumber framing, anchoring pipe straps or conduit supports to wood substrates, and attaching pool equipment pads or brackets to structural wood members. The uncoated finish is appropriate for interior and covered exterior locations where direct contact with treated lumber or saltwater exposure is not a primary concern.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• 1/4-inch diameter with 3-inch length under the head for deep thread engagement
• Hex head drive accepts standard wrenches and sockets for controlled installation torque
• Uncoated finish — no plating or coating to chip or flake over time
• Self-tapping lag thread design for direct drive into wood without a nut

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hex head lag screw suitable for wood fastening applications in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool equipment installation where a 1/4-inch by 3-inch stainless fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this diameter typically require a pilot hole to prevent wood splitting and to ease installation — consult applicable building code or fastener manufacturer guidelines for recommended pilot hole sizing. A ratchet wrench or impact driver with a hex socket is the standard installation tool. Do not overdrive; excessive torque can strip the wood substrate or shear the fastener head. Follow IBC or local structural fastening requirements when used in load-bearing connections.
