Value Collection R63234261 Hex Head Lag Screw 5/16x1 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63234261 is a 5/16-inch hex head lag screw with a 1-inch length under head, manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Lag screws of this type are heavy-duty fasteners designed to anchor structural components, equipment mounts, and framing members to wood substrates. The hex drive head allows installation with a standard socket wrench or hex bit driver. Grade 18-8 stainless steel provides solid corrosion resistance, making this fastener appropriate for both interior and exterior applications where moisture exposure is a factor.

This lag screw is used in trade applications including HVAC equipment mounting, electrical panel and conduit support, plumbing fixture backing, and general structural fastening to wood framing. The 5/16-inch diameter and 1-inch under-head length suit light-to-medium load connections where a compact fastener profile is needed. Electricians, HVAC installers, plumbers, and general contractors commonly use lag screws of this specification for securing equipment supports and blocking to wood structural members.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Uncoated finish — no coating to crack, chip, or interfere with torque during installation
• Hex head drive compatible with standard 1/2-inch drive sockets and hex bit drivers
• 5/16-inch diameter provides reliable shear and withdrawal strength in wood framing
• 1-inch length under head suits shallow-penetration anchoring applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-inch hex head lag screw for general fastening applications into wood substrates. Suitable for use wherever a 5/16 x 1-inch stainless steel lag screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this size typically require a pilot hole to prevent wood splitting — consult applicable building codes or manufacturer guidelines for recommended pilot hole diameter. Install using a socket wrench or impact driver with the appropriate hex socket. Follow NEC, IPC, or IFGC guidelines as applicable when securing trade equipment supports. Avoid over-driving, which can strip the wood substrate or shear the fastener head.
