Titen HD® screw anchor
U.S. Patent 5,674,035 & 6,623,228

Serrated teeth on the tip of the Titen HD® screw anchor facilitate cutting and reduce installation torque.

Suitable for use in place of code anchor bolts .

New longer 1/2" diameter Titen HD® anchors achieve sufficient embedment depth to develop tension loads equal to many Simpson Strong-Tie holdowns that specify a 5/8" diameter anchor. Testing has been conducted to assure compatibility of these holdowns’ anchor holes with the 1/2" Titen HD screw anchor.

The Titen HD® screw anchor 3/4 x 6 and 3/4 x 7 (models THDT75600H and THD75700H) have a 1" section under the head that is unthreaded to allow installation into tilt-up wall braces.

PERFORMANCE FEATURES

• Tested per AC193 to ensure outstanding performance in both cracked and uncracked concrete
• Higher load capacity and vibration resistance: Threads along the length of the anchor
  undercut the concrete and efficiently transfer the load to the base material.
• Vibration and shock resistance: The mechanical interlock of the threads and the ratchet teeth
  on the underside of the head help prevent the anchor from loosening in vibratory conditions.
  The Titen HD anchor has been tested to 12.6 million vibratory cycles with no performance
  reductions.
• Specialized heat treating process: Creates superior surface hardness at the tip to facilitate
  cutting, while at the same time not compromising ductility within the anchor body.
• Less spacing and edge distance required: The anchor does not exert expansion forces on the
  base material.
• Easy post-installation inspection: The head is stamped with the Simpson Strong-Tie® "≠" sign
  and the anchor length in inches.

INSTALLATION FEATURES

Serrated teeth on the tip of the Titen HD screw facilitate cutting and reduce installation torque.

• No special drill bit needed: Designed to install using standard sized ANSI tolerance drill bits
• Installs with 50% less torque: Testing shows that when compared to competitors, the Titen HD requires 50% less torque to be installed in concrete.
• Hex-washer head: Requires no separate washer and provides a clean installed appearance.*
• Removable: Ideal for temporary anchoring (e.g. formwork, bracing) or applications where fixtures may need to be moved. Re-use of the anchor to achieve listed load values is not recommended.

*Some jurisdictions require an additional square plate washer for sill plate applications.
