The Titen HD® rod hanger is a high-strength screw anchor that provides a fast and convenient way to suspend threaded rod from concrete slabs and beams. The anchor’s high load capacity and ease of installation make it ideal for hanging pipes, equipment and fixtures in overhead applications. Unlike traditional drop-in anchors, installation requires no special tool or secondary setting process; just drill a hole and drive the anchor. The serrated cutting teeth and patented thread design enable the Titen HD Rod Hanger to be installed quickly and with significantly less effort when compared to other screw type anchors.
New Design Features 3/8" Shank, Code-Listed for Cracked and Uncracked Concrete Applications
Simpson Strong-Tie Anchor Systems® now offers two new sizes that feature a 3/8" shank and are code-listed by ICC-ES for cracked and uncracked concrete applications under the 2006 and 2009 IBC.
FEATURES
- Compatible with 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" diameter threaded rod
- High load capacity as a result of the full length threads that undercut the concrete and effectively transfer load into the base material
- Specialized heat treating process creates high hardness at the tip to facilitate cutting while the body remains ductile
- No special installation tools required. Holes can be drilled with a rotary hammer or hammer drill with standard ANSI-size bit. Anchors are installed with standard-size sockets.
- Less installation time translates to lower installed cost

- Drill a hole using the specified diameter carbide bit into the base material to a depth of at least 1/2" deeper than the required embedment.
- Blow the hole clean of dust and debris using compressed air.
- Insert anchor into the hole. Tighten the anchor with an impact wrench or a torque wrench into the base material until the hex washer head contacts the base material.
- Install threaded rod in the anchor to support pipes, wiring, etc.
IMPORTANT: Install with an applied torque of 15 ft-lbs for the THD25112RH & THD37218RH rod hangers using a torque wrench, driver drill, hammer drill or cordless 1/4" impact driver with a maximum permitted torque rating of 100 ft-lb.
Caution: Oversized holes in the base material will reduce or eliminate the mechanical interlock of the threads with base material and will reduce the anchor’s load capacity. Use a Titen HD Rod Hanger one time only. Installing the anchor multiple times may result in excessive thread wear and reduce load capacity.
