Stainless Steel Wood Screws Manufacturer | Hex Head

Stainless Steel Hex Head Wood Screws | Imperial Sizes

As a stainless steel wood screws manufacturer, PO JUN offers hex head fasteners for wood-to-wood joints and metal brackets secured to timber. Available in 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", and 1/2" diameters, with lengths from 1" to 6", the range gives buyers options for different component thicknesses and fastening depths.

Commonly called stainless steel lag screws, lag bolts, or coach screws, these fasteners feature an external hex head, wood-engaging threads, and a pointed tip. They are installed with a matching wrench or socket rather than a conventional screwdriver.

Hex Head Fastening for Timber and Hardware

Wrench and Socket Access

The external hex head provides tool engagement for installing brackets, mounting plates, and timber components. It suits locations where the head can remain exposed and there is enough clearance for a wrench or socket.

Threads Designed for Wood

The thread profile engages the timber rather than a matching machine-thread nut. The pointed tip helps position the screw, while the required pilot hole depends on the timber and screw dimensions.

The product examples include an unthreaded section beneath the head. For assemblies where the position of the threads matters, specify the required threaded length when ordering.

Stainless Steel Material Selection

Stainless steel is an option for projects where moisture exposure and material compatibility influence fastener selection. The appropriate grade depends on the environment, including salt exposure, cleaning chemicals, and timber treatment. Include the required stainless steel grade in your inquiry, or describe the application for review.

Stainless Steel Hex Head Wood Screw Specifications

Available Diameters and Lengths

Diameters: 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2"

Available lengths for each diameter: 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2", 3", 3 1/2", 4", 4 1/2", 5", 5 1/2", 6"

Length is normally measured from the bearing surface beneath the hex head to the tip. Confirm the thread length and head dimensions if you are matching an existing part or assembly drawing.

Applications in Wood Product Manufacturing

These hex head wood screws can be considered for assemblies that require fastening into timber and allow space for the exposed head.

• Furniture and display equipment: Attach metal brackets, support plates, and fittings to substantial wooden components.
• Timber frames and workshop fixtures: Join components where screw diameter, embedment depth, and edge distance have been selected for the joint.
• Equipment bases and wooden packaging: Secure mounting hardware to timber bases, blocks, or heavy wooden packaging.
• Outdoor wood products: Fasten hardware on garden structures and timber fixtures, with the stainless steel grade selected for weather exposure and treated-wood compatibility.

For structural or safety-related connections, the joint must be designed around verified fastener properties, timber conditions, and the applicable building requirements.

Choose the Length Around the Joint

The right screw length depends on more than the overall thickness of the assembly. For a metal bracket attached to timber, allow for the bracket and any washer before determining how much of the screw enters the wood. Check that the tip will not protrude through the opposite surface.

Timber species, density, moisture content, and distance from an edge also affect installation. A suitable pilot hole can reduce driving resistance and the risk of splitting, particularly in hardwood or near the end of a component. A pointed tip does not mean every installation can omit pre-drilling.

Request a Quote from PO JUN

Send your diameter, length, stainless steel grade, and quantity to discuss your order. A drawing, sample reference, or photo of the joint is helpful when replacing an existing screw or sourcing hardware for a new product.

For timber applications, include the wood type and whether the product will be used indoors or outdoors. You can also add your delivery country, requested delivery date, and any packaging or material-document requirements to the same inquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do lag bolts require nuts?

Despite the name “lag bolt,” this type of fastener normally threads directly into timber rather than a nut. If the connection must pass through the wood and fasten with a nut, a machine-thread bolt is a different product.

Can I use these screws with wall plugs?

Only when the plug manufacturer specifies compatibility with the screw diameter, length, and thread form. The wall material and required load must also be considered; a wood screw alone is not a masonry anchor.

Should I add a washer beneath the hex head?

A washer may be appropriate where the head bears against a bracket hole or a softer surface. Select it according to the hole size, bearing area, and joint design rather than assuming it is required for every assembly.

Can the same screw be removed and reinstalled?

Holding performance can change after removal because the existing wood threads may be damaged or enlarged. Reuse should be assessed against the condition of the timber, the fastener, and the connection’s service requirements.
