Value Collection R63234684 Hex Head Lag Screw Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63234684 is a 3/8-inch hex head lag screw with a 1-1/2-inch length under head, constructed from grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Lag screws of this type are heavy-duty wood fasteners designed to secure structural connections where a standard wood screw would not provide sufficient holding strength. The hex drive head allows installation with a wrench or socket, making it a standard choice for framing, decking, equipment mounting, and utility brackets. The 18-8 stainless steel composition provides corrosion resistance suited to outdoor and moisture-prone environments.

This lag screw is used in residential and light commercial construction and maintenance applications. Typical install scenarios include wood-to-wood structural connections, ledger board attachment, fence and deck framing, and equipment anchoring to wooden substrates. Trade professionals including carpenters, general contractors, electricians, and HVAC technicians reach for lag screws when mounting heavy equipment, conduit supports, or structural hardware to wood framing members.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch diameter with 1-1/2-inch length under head for medium-depth structural fastening
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in outdoor and wet environments
• Hex head drive accepts standard wrench or socket for high-torque installation
• Uncoated finish — no coating to chip or delaminate over time
• Minimum order quantity of 50 units suits job-site and bulk procurement workflows

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-inch hex head lag screw suitable for wood structural connections in general construction and trade maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this size are typically installed by carpenters, general contractors, or licensed trade professionals using a wrench, ratchet, or impact driver with the appropriate hex socket. Always pre-drill a pilot hole to prevent wood splitting and ensure full thread engagement. Follow applicable building codes, including IRC and IBC requirements, for structural fastener spacing and embedment depth. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can strip threads or damage the substrate.
