IMSCREWS 1/4 x 2-1/2 Hex Head Lag Screws, 304 Stainless Steel, Partially Threaded Structural Timber Bolts, 10 pcs

"IMSCREWS 1/4 x 2-1/2 Heavy-Duty Lag Screws - 304 Stainless Steel (10 pcs)

Optimized Reach for Timber Joining
An essential fastener for multi-layered wood projects. The 2.5-inch length is perfectly sized to pass through standard 1.5 dimensional lumber (like a 2x4) and provide a deep 1-inch thread anchor into the support post. Ideal for deck railings, heavy shelving, and outdoor play equipment.

Vise-Like Clamping Power
Our partially threaded shank features a smooth upper section. This allows the bolt to pull the outer board tightly against the support beam without the threads biting prematurely in the top board. This creates a gap-free, rock-solid joint, preventing the bridging effect that often leaves connections loose when using full-thread screws at this length.

304 Stainless Exterior Defense
Forged from premium 18-8 (304) Stainless Steel for ultimate weather resistance. compatible with ACQ pressure-treated lumber. It resists rust in humid environments and prevents unsightly rust streaks on high-value cedar, redwood, or deck framing.

Technical FAQ
• Tools Required: Fits a standard 7/16 hex socket or wrench.
• Pre-drilling: Recommended to prevent timber splitting. Use a 1/8 bit for softwoods or 3/16 bit for hardwoods.
• Why 2-1/2 length? It provides the perfect balance of deep penetration and structural clamping for 2x lumber applications.
• Resilience: Rated for marine, coastal, and high-humidity environments.

Key Features

• PROFESSIONAL CLAMPING The partially threaded design allows the smooth shank to pass through the outer timber, pulling boards together with elite force for a gap-free, rigid joint.
• IDEAL FOR 2x LUMBER At 2.5 inches long, these screws provide the perfect anchoring depth for connecting 2x4s and 4x4 posts without the risk of over-penetration.
• 304 EXTERIOR DEFENSE Forged from premium 304 (18-8) stainless steel to prevent rust and staining in outdoor cedar or redwood projects. Compatible with ACQ treated lumber.
• STABLE TORQUE TRANSFER Precision-forged hex head fits 7/16 sockets securely, offering far more stable torque transfer than Phillips heads for controlled, slip-free seating.
• MANDATORY PRE-DRILLING To ensure joint integrity and prevent timber splitting, pre-drilling a pilot hole (3/16 for softwoods, 7/32 for hardwoods) is mandatory for these 1/4 bolts.
