Simpson 3/16 x 1-3/4 Hex Titen Turbo Screw Anchor from Simpson is a high-performance concrete screw anchor engineered for fast, reliable wood-to-concrete and wood-to-masonry fastening. The patented reverse thread design cuts cleanly into concrete or masonry substrate, reducing the torque needed during installation while delivering strong holding power once seated. With a zinc plated and ceramic coated carbon steel construction, this hex head anchor resists corrosion and maintains consistent performance in demanding anchoring conditions. The 1/4 in. hex drive makes it compatible with standard power tools, helping contractors and DIYers alike complete structural fastening tasks quickly and with less effort than traditional anchor systems.

Key Features

• Hex Head with 1/4 in. Hex Drive - compatible with standard hex-drive bits and wrenches for fast, tool-driven installation without needing specialty equipment
• Zinc Plated with Ceramic Coating - provides corrosion resistance beyond bare steel, extending service life in concrete anchoring applications where moisture contact is possible
• Patented Reverse Thread Design - reduces driving torque while cutting into concrete or masonry, making installation smoother and less physically demanding
• Carbon Steel Construction - delivers the structural strength and shear resistance required for dependable wood-to-concrete and wood-to-masonry connections
• 3/16 in. Diameter x 1-3/4 in. Length - a compact profile suited for lighter-duty anchoring applications where space is limited or thinner materials are being fastened
• Standard Blue Color Coding - helps visually distinguish this anchor from other diameters on the job site, reducing installation errors when multiple anchor sizes are in use
• Requires 5/32 in. Drill Bit - the precise pilot hole diameter ensures a tight mechanical fit in concrete or masonry for optimal holding power

Why This Product

• The reverse thread cutting action means less torque is needed compared to standard concrete screws - reducing fatigue during repetitive fastening tasks and speeding up overall installation time
• The zinc plated and ceramic coated finish adds a layer of corrosion protection that bare carbon steel cannot provide, making this anchor a more durable choice for applications where moisture or humid conditions may be present
• The 1/4 in. hex drive format allows use with common impact drivers and hex-drive bits already on site, so no specialized tooling is required to complete the installation
• At 3/16 in. diameter with a 1-3/4 in. length, this anchor is well-suited for lighter structural connections - such as attaching wood framing, furring strips, or hardware directly to concrete or masonry - where a full-size anchor would be oversized

Frequently Asked Questions

What size drill bit is required for the Simpson 3/16 Titen Turbo screw anchor?

A 5/32 in. drill bit is required to create the correct pilot hole diameter in concrete or masonry. Using the specified bit size ensures the anchor threads engage the substrate properly for maximum holding power.

What drive tool is compatible with this anchor?

This anchor uses a 1/4 in. hex drive, which is compatible with standard hex-drive impact drivers, drills, and a 1/4 in. wrench. No specialty tools are needed for installation.

How does the reverse thread design benefit installation?

The patented reverse thread design allows the screw to cut into concrete or masonry with less torque than conventional concrete screws. This reduces the effort required during driving while still achieving strong holding power in the finished connection.

Is this anchor suitable for both concrete and masonry substrates?

Yes. The Titen Turbo screw anchor is designed for use in both concrete and masonry, making it versatile for a range of structural fastening situations where wood members or hardware need to be secured to a hard base material.
