The Simpson 1/4 in. Zinc-Plated Tie-Wire Head Crimp Drive Anchor from Simpson is an easy-to-install expansion anchor engineered for use in concrete and grout-filled block. The preformed curvature along the shaft creates an expansion mechanism that secures the anchor in place and eliminates the need for a secondary tightening procedure, making it a practical choice for contractors and installers who need reliable, efficient fastening. The tie-wire head configuration makes this anchor especially well-suited for suspended ceiling applications, including hanging overhead support for sprinkler pipes and suspended ceiling panels.

Key Features

• Unique curved shaft design - the preformed curvature acts as a built-in expansion mechanism, delivering secure placement in concrete and grout-filled block without extra steps
• No secondary tightening required - the self-securing design speeds up anchor installation, reducing labor time on the job site
• Tie-wire head style - specifically suited for suspended ceiling applications such as hanging overhead support for sprinkler pipes and suspended ceiling panels
• Zinc-plated carbon-steel construction - provides the corrosion resistance and structural integrity needed for typical interior construction environments
• 1/4 in. size - a commonly used dimension that works with standard 1/4 in. drill bit setups, simplifying tool and bit coordination on site

Why This Product

• Faster installation without sacrificing holding strength - by eliminating the need for a secondary tightening step, this crimp drive anchor cuts installation time while still delivering secure expansion in concrete and grout-filled block
• Purpose-built for suspended ceiling and overhead support work - the tie-wire head is specifically designed for the demands of ceiling suspension systems, making it a focused solution rather than a generic fastener
• Versatile base material compatibility - engineered to perform in both concrete and grout-filled block, giving installers a single reliable anchor option across common structural substrates
• Zinc-plated finish for added durability - the zinc plating over carbon steel provides a layer of corrosion resistance that helps the anchor hold up in typical interior construction conditions over time
