Value Collection R63234442 Hex Head Lag Screw 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63234442 is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood and other structural materials. Built from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this lag screw delivers solid corrosion resistance in exposed or moisture-prone environments. The 5/16-inch diameter shank and 1-1/4-inch length under head make it well suited for light structural connections, decking, framing hardware, and equipment mounting tasks where a standard wood screw would not provide adequate holding strength. Installed with a standard hex driver or socket wrench, this screw seats securely without the need for a nut or washer on the threaded end.

This lag screw is a common fastener for residential and light commercial construction, outdoor woodworking, and equipment installation. Trades including carpenters, general contractors, and HVAC or plumbing technicians use lag screws to secure brackets, equipment pads, pipe hangers, and structural lumber connections. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it particularly suitable for outdoor installations, coastal environments, or anywhere galvanic corrosion is a concern with standard zinc-plated hardware.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Hex head design accepts standard socket wrenches and hex drivers
• 5/16-inch diameter shank for solid holding strength in wood substrates
• 1-1/4-inch length under head suits light structural and mounting applications
• Uncoated finish — no added plating that could introduce galvanic incompatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose hex head lag screw for use in wood framing, structural mounting, and equipment installation applications requiring a 5/16-inch fastener.

Installation Notes

A pilot hole sized appropriately for the shank diameter should be drilled before driving the lag screw to prevent wood splitting and reduce drive torque. Use a socket wrench or hex-bit driver rated for the fastener size. Power down or de-energize any nearby electrical equipment before driving fasteners in panel or equipment enclosure areas. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and load requirements.
