Low Carbon Hex Head Lag Screw Clear Zinc Cr3 Plating
Low Carbon Hex Head Lag Screws – Clear Zinc Cr3 Plated: Clean, Strong, and Corrosion-Resistant Fastening
When you need strong, dependable fastening with a clean, corrosion-resistant finish, low carbon hex head lag screws with Clear Zinc Cr3 plating offer the perfect blend of performance and aesthetics. Designed for wood-to-wood and wood-to-masonry applications, these lag screws are ideal for both interior structural builds and light-duty exterior projects where environmental exposure is minimal to moderate.
Made from low carbon steel, these screws provide excellent workability, ensuring a secure hold without excessive brittleness. Their hex head allows for high torque during installation using a wrench or socket, making them ideal for framing, subflooring, decking, ledger boards, and general carpentry.
The Clear Zinc Cr3 plating sets these screws apart. This trivalent chromium coating offers a layer of corrosion protection while maintaining a bright, silver-like appearance. It’s RoHS-compliant, environmentally friendly, and far safer than older hexavalent zinc coatings. This makes these lag screws ideal for use in manufacturing, cabinetry, equipment mounting, and indoor or covered outdoor structures where appearance matters alongside performance.
