The Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor is manufactured in carbon steel that is heat treated, and is available in zinc plating or a mechanically galvanized finish. Codes and Approvals All Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchors come with a hex washer head that does not require the use of a separate washer. The hex head leaves a very clean look once installed with no stud or nut protruding above the fixture. The hex washer head is serrated, giving the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchors very good vibration resistance once the head of the Titen Type 300 Series stainless-steel screw anchors have different corrosion-resistant properties for different environments. When matched to the appropriate environment and application, anchors made from Type 300 Series stainless steel will resist the effects of corrosion and maintain their strength and integrity.

Prescriptive" denotes spacing requirements per the IEBC and designs per the IRC and conventional provisions of the IBC. The hole in the fixture needs to be larger in diameter than the diameter of the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor being installed. It is very important to make sure that the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor being installed will fit through the fixture hole before the hole in the base material is drilled. See the chart below for the dimensions of the recommended hole diameter in the fixture: Titen HD® Diameter For design in accordance with the IEBC Chapter A3, the URFP may be used as a one-for-one replacement for the alternative connections shown in Figures. Spacing requirements for the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor are less between anchors and an unsupported edge because the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor is not an expansion anchor and does not exert force against the base material. The minimum spacing requirements for all diameters of the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchors is 3” Titen HD® Minimum Edge Distance The drill bit used to drill the hole for the anchor must meet ANSI standards. Hole size is equal to anchor size. The diameter of the anchor being installed is equal to the hold diameter that is drilled into the base material. For example, if the Titen HD anchor is 3/8-inch, then the hole must be 3/8-inch.The Titen HD stainless-steel screw anchor for concrete and masonry is ideal for when the job calls for fast and efficient installation in multiple types of environments. The Titen HD stainless steel is a state-of-the-art anchor solution that combines the long-lasting corrosion resistance of Type 300 Series stainless steel with the undercutting ability of heat-treated carbon-steel cutting threads.

Post-installed inspection of the anchor can be performed in a snap because the length is stamped on the anchor’s head. Embedment depth of any particular anchor has to be calculated. To determine the depth, simply subtract the length of the anchor above the surface of the base material from the total length of the anchor. Drill a hole in the base material using a carbide drill bit (complying with ANSI B212.15) with the same diameter as the nominal diameter of the anchor to be installed. Drill the hole to the specified minimum hole depth overdrill (see table below) to allow the thread tapping dust to settle, and blow it clean using compressed air. (Overhead installations need not be blown clean.) Alternatively, drill the hole deep enough to accommodate embedment depth and the dust from drilling and tapping. Spacing between the anchor and an unsupported edge is less than other types of anchors because the Titen HD anchor is not an expansion anchor and does not apply energy against the base material. As a result, the minimum spacing required for all diameters of the Titen anchor is 3-inches. Uplift loads have been increased for earthquake or wind loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other loads govern. Align the hole in the fixture with the hole in the base material and then insert the Titen HD anchor through the fixture hole and into the hole in the base material.For stainless-steel fasteners, see Fastener Types and Sizes Specified for Simpson Strong-Tie Connectors. The anchor includes a hex-washer head for a cleaner installed appearance. No separate washer is necessary unless it is required by code. Considered a post-installed concrete fastener, the Titen HD anchor needs to be located a minimum distance from an unsupported edge. Since this is not an expansion anchor, the minimum distance from an unsupported edge is 1-3/4-inches for all diameters. From fully tested and engineered connectors and clipsSimpson Strong-Tie ® provides comprehensive structural solutions for cold-formed steel construction.

From framing angles to straps to heavy-duty joist hangers, we offer the most diverse product line so that you have the right product for the job.

The anchor has been heat-treated to create tip hardness for better cutting. It can be installed using a standard-size ANSI tolerance drill bit and cuts into concrete with 50 percent less torque than other anchors. Corrosion Resistant— For dry, interior applications, carbon-steel corrosion is not a risk, but in any kind of exterior, coastal or chemical environment the anchor would be susceptible to corrosion. With the introduction of the THDSS, there is finally a state-of-the-art anchor solution that combines the corrosion resistance of Type 300 Series stainless steel with the undercutting ability of sacrificial heat-treated carbon-steel cutting threads. If the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor will not install completely, remove the anchor from the hole. Ensure that all dust is removed from the hole or drill the hole deeper. Then reinstall the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor by hand to prevent any cross threading from occurring. Titen HD® Product Information Mechanical galvanizing meets ASTM B695, Class 65, Type 1. Intended for exterior application and some interior pressure-treated wood sill plate applications. See Supplemental Topics for Anchors.

Availability with either a hex head or, for a smoother installed profile, a T30 6-lobe-drive countersunk head These models do not meet minimum embedment depth requirements for strength design and require maximum installation torque of 25 ft. – lb. using a torque wrench, driver drill or cordless 1/4" impact driver with a maximum permitted torque rating of 100 ft. – lb. Drill a hole in the base material using the appropriate diameter carbide drill bit as specified in the table. Drill the hole to the specified embedment depth plus 1/2" to allow the thread tapping dust to settle and blow it clean using compressed air. Overhead installations need not be blown clean. Alternatively, drill the hole deep enough to accommodate embedment depth and dust from drilling and tapping.
