DIN571 Lag Screw Wooden

Description

– DIN 571 lag screws, also known as hex head wood screws, are heavy-duty fasteners designed for securing materials like lumber and masonry to wood.
– They feature a hexagonal head and coarse threads, requiring pre-drilled pilot holes to prevent wood splitting.
– These screws are commonly used in construction projects such as decks, retaining walls, and outdoor play equipment.

Key Features:
Hexagonal Head:
The hexagonal head allows for easy installation and tightening with a wrench or socket.
Coarse Threads:
The aggressive thread design provides a strong grip in wood and helps to compress the materials being joined.
Pilot Holes:
Pre-drilling pilot holes is crucial to prevent wood splitting and ensure proper thread engagement.
Heavy-Duty:
Lag screws are significantly stronger and more robust than standard wood screws, suitable for demanding applications.
Materials:
DIN 571 lag screws are available in various materials, including carbon steel (often zinc-plated for corrosion resistance) and stainless steel.
Applications:
They are widely used in construction, particularly for decks, framing, and securing heavy lumber or masonry to wooden structures.
