- Low Carbon Steel
- Conforms to ASTM A307
- Zinc Plated (ASTM B633)
- Hex Head for High Torque
This industrial-grade hex lag screw is forged from low carbon steel, providing the durability required for demanding wood-fastening applications. It is manufactured to meet the performance requirements of ASTM A307 for light-duty fasteners, ensuring consistent quality and reliability. The screw is coated with a layer of zinc plating according to ASTM B633 standards, which creates a protective barrier against moisture and corrosion, extending the fastener's service life in various environmental conditions. The coarse thread design provides excellent grip and pull-out resistance in wood and similar materials.
Designed for heavy-duty wood construction, these 5/16" x 4" hex lag screws are the preferred choice for fastening ledger boards, deck frames, and other structural wood components. The hex head is easily driven with a standard wrench or socket, allowing for controlled, high-torque application. They are widely used by contractors and fabricators for both new construction and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) tasks. Bobco Metals stocks these essential fasteners for same-day pickup at our Los Angeles warehouse, supporting time-sensitive projects.
