Product Description
The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48092 is a 15-pack of Power Pro Bronze Ceramic Construction Lag Screws designed for heavy-duty structural fastening applications. Each lag measures 12 inches in length and 3/8 inches in diameter, featuring a Type 17 cut point that bores cleanly into wood without pre-drilling in many applications. The star drive recess provides high torque transfer and reduces cam-out during installation. The bronze ceramic coating delivers a verified 1500-hour salt spray resistance rating, making these lags suitable for exposed, treated-lumber, and outdoor structural applications. Licensed contractors, framing crews, and deck builders rely on these for load-bearing connections where corrosion resistance is mandatory.
These lag screws are intended for structural wood-to-wood and wood-to-beam connections in residential and light commercial construction. Typical applications include deck ledger attachment, post-to-beam connections, structural framing, and heavy timber joinery where a corrosion-resistant fastener is required by code or specification. The coarse serrated thread pattern provides strong pull-out resistance in dimensional lumber and engineered wood products. Each package contains 15 screws, and the product is sold in a box of 4 packages.
Key Features
- 12 inches length x 3/8 inches diameter sized for deep structural connections
- Type 17 cut point pierces wood fiber cleanly, reducing splitting risk
- Star drive recess minimizes cam-out under high-torque installation
- Bronze ceramic coating rated for 1500-hour salt spray resistance
- Coarse serrated thread pattern for maximum pull-out strength in wood
- Lifetime warranty included
Compatibility
Designed for use in structural wood fastening applications including dimensional lumber, engineered wood beams, and treated lumber where corrosion-resistant lag screws are specified.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a qualified contractor or framing professional familiar with applicable building codes. A pilot hole is recommended for hardwoods and near board edges to prevent splitting, even with the Type 17 cut point. Use a star drive bit sized to the fastener recess and a high-torque impact driver or drill to seat the lag fully. Always follow local building code requirements for structural fastener spacing, edge distance, and embedment depth.
