Post-installed concrete fasteners need to be placed a minimum distance from an unsupported edge. The rule of thumb for expansion anchors is five times the diameter. The Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor’s minimum distance from an unsupported edge is 1-3/4” for all diameters. Titen HD® Inspection Post installed inspection of the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor is simple because the length of the anchor is stamped on the head of the anchor. During an inspection, the embedment depth of any particular anchor can be determined by subtracting the length of the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor above the surface of the base material from the total length of the anchor. Drill Bit Requirements 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 Models THDC25238CS6SS, THD37212CS and THD37212CS6SS 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.

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. Align the hole in the fixture with the hole in the base material and insert Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchors through the fixture hole and into the hole in the base material. Many of these products are approved for installation with Strong-Drive® SD Connector screws. Model No.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. With nearly 60 years of field and R&D experience, Simpson Strong-Tie ®timber connectors are manufactured to the industry's highest standards. 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 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. It is easy to remove, so it’s ideal for temporary anchoring of formwork, bracing, or for applications where fixtures may be moved.

The drill bit used for drilling a hole in the base material for the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor must meet ANSI standards. Hole size is equal to anchor size. The diameter of the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor being installed is equal to the hole diameter that must be drilled into the base material. If the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor is 3/8” then a 3/8” hole must be drilled into the base material using a bit that meets ANSI standards. Hole Size Patented Torque Reduction Channel that traps dust where it can’t obstruct the thread action, reducing the likelihood of binding in the hole A space of 1” under the head is unthreaded on two of the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchors to allow for installation into the tilt-up braces used in tilt-up construction. The 3/4” x 6” and the 3/4” x 7 are designed specifically for this type of application. Titen HD® Installation Mechanical galvanizing meets ASTM B695, Class 65, Type 1. Intended for some pressure-treated wood sill plate applications. Not for use in other corrosive or outdoor environments.

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. 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 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 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.
