Value Collection R63234960 Hex Head Lag Screw 3/8x6 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63234960 is a hex head lag screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in wood, timber framing, and structural assemblies. Manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this lag screw delivers corrosion resistance suitable for both interior and exterior installations. The 3/8-inch diameter shank and 6-inch length under head provide substantial bite and holding strength in structural connections. Licensed tradespeople and experienced fastener installers rely on this type of hardware for wood-to-wood and wood-to-masonry applications where long-term joint integrity is required.

This lag screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial structural work, including deck framing, ledger board attachment, timber joinery, and similar applications that demand a reliable, corrosion-resistant fastener. The hex drive head allows for use with a standard socket wrench or impact driver, making installation efficient in production framing or individual repair scenarios. Its stainless steel construction makes it a common choice for coastal environments, pressure-treated lumber contact, and any setting where moisture exposure is a concern.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moisture-prone and outdoor environments
• Uncoated finish compatible with pressure-treated lumber and wet-service conditions
• Hex head drive for use with standard sockets, wrenches, or impact drivers
• 3/8-inch diameter with 6-inch length under head for deep penetration and high withdrawal strength
• Suitable for structural wood-to-wood and wood-to-masonry fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex head lag screw for structural wood fastening applications requiring a 3/8-inch diameter, 6-inch length, stainless steel fastener.

Installation Notes

Lag screws of this diameter typically require a pilot hole to prevent wood splitting and to ease installation — consult applicable building codes or span tables for pilot hole sizing. Power down any adjacent electrical systems before working in wall or floor cavities. Use a calibrated torque wrench or impact driver set to an appropriate clutch setting to avoid overdriving. Always follow local building codes and structural fastener schedules, including IRC or IBC requirements where applicable.
