Hex Head Lag Screw 18-8 Stainless Steel

18-8 Stainless Steel Hex Head Lag Screws – Premium Corrosion-Resistant Structural Fastening

18-8 Stainless Steel Hex Head Lag Screws are engineered for demanding environments where strength, durability, and corrosion resistance are essential. Ideal for both interior and exterior structural applications, these stainless lag screws perform exceptionally well in marine, coastal, and chemically exposed settings. When standard carbon steel fasteners risk rust or failure, 18-8 stainless steel provides long-term reliability and clean, professional results.

18-8 Stainless Steel for Superior Corrosion Resistance

The 18-8 stainless steel alloy contains approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel, delivering outstanding resistance to rust, staining, and oxidation. This corrosion-resistant composition makes these hex head lag screws ideal for decks, docks, fencing, pergolas, siding, and waterfront construction. Unlike coated fasteners, stainless steel offers inherent protection throughout the material, eliminating concerns about chipped plating or surface wear.

In addition to corrosion resistance, 18-8 stainless steel provides excellent tensile strength and durability. It is generally non-magnetic in the annealed condition and maintains structural integrity even in damp or salt-air environments.

Hex Head Design for Heavy-Duty Torque

The hex head configuration allows installation with a wrench or socket, enabling high torque application for secure wood-to-wood and wood-to-masonry fastening. This design ensures tight material draw-down and dependable clamping force in structural lumber assemblies. Deep, coarse threads are specifically engineered for strong mechanical engagement in wood fibers, providing superior holding power.
