Lag Bolts
What Are Lag Bolts?
Bolts with a hex head and are exceptionally strong. Lag Bolts are used to connect heavy lumber or other materials which are bearing an intense load.
When selecting a lag bolt, always measure the materials being joined. The length of the lag bolt should not be more than half of the total thickness of the materials
Features of a Lag Bolt
- Lag Screws are a heavy duty wood screw with strong a durable properties that keep them in place in high stress environments
- The hex head is designed to accomodate higher installation torque for use with a wrench, wratchet, or impact driver.
- Like wood screws, a stepped pilot hole is recommended. The pilot hole for the unthreaded shank should match in diameters and the hole for the threaded portion is dependent on wood density
