Welcome back to Albany County Fasteners - Fasteners 101
I'm Bob, today I'm going to talk about installing a lag screw and concrete with a lag shield.
So let's get started.
So I have here a lag shield which is made for concrete.
We've gotten many requests about how to install a lag screw into concrete.
So it's pretty simple you would
have to have a lag shield. In this case,
this is a 3/8" lag bolt or lag
screw and here is a lag shield,
which is made for concrete. The lag shield you would drill a hole the size of the diameter
of the lag shield in this case
for 3/8" and if you're using a lag
shield for 3/8" so it would be 5/8"
outside diameter.
You would drill a hole in the concrete for the length of, 5/8" (diameter) by the length of the lag shield and
just a little bit more than that and then you would hammer in the lag shield into the concrete.
How this works is you'll see I'll take this apart. It's two pieces that comes apart.
OK, there are these two clips on here that go into the top area here.
I'm gonna put it back together and I put it back together
and then when you put, after you put it in
the concrete and you put the lag screw in,
you'll start to see, once you
start to screw it in,
you'll see the bottom part start to spread. That's how it locks into the concrete.
If you're taking a 2x4 or a piece of
plywood or whatever you're fastening to the concrete
that's the product you
would use for doing that.
This lag shield when you put it into concrete the top of it should be flush with the top of the concrete.
So you'll take a hammer, you'll hammer it into place and that'll finish off at the top of the concrete
and then if you're having a piece of 2x4
and Plus whatever length you want to go
into the lag shield so in the for
instance if you had a 2x4 be an inch and
a half plus the amount of area you're
going to screw into the lag shield shield which
would be about another inch to inch and
a half so you use a three inch lag screw
and you would just fasten it down torque
it down and it would stay perfect in
there forever
depending on your your environment that
you're installing this these are zinc
products there are lag shields that are
available in stainless also for high
corrosion areas and you can find those
