The Simpson Titen Turbo 3/16 in. x 1-3/4 in. Hex-Head Concrete and Masonry Screw Anchor by Simpson is engineered for fast, reliable fastening in concrete and masonry without the hassle of traditional anchor systems. The Torque Reduction Channel thread design is the core innovation here, lowering driving torque while delivering superior holding power, so installers get consistently smooth, trouble-free performance when anchoring wood or other materials to concrete, brick, or block in dry interior applications. Like a Tapcon-style screw, it threads directly into a predrilled hole with no separate expansion anchor required, streamlining the entire fastening process.

Key Features

• Torque Reduction Channel between the threads - traps drilling dust so it cannot obstruct thread action, significantly reducing the likelihood of binding, stripping, or snapping during installation
• Code listed per ICC-ES AC193 / IAPMO UES ER-712 - allows concrete installation without cleaning dust from predrilled holes, saving time and eliminating a manual prep step on the job
• Serrated screw point - makes starting the fastener easier when anchoring through wood, reducing slippage and improving placement accuracy
• No matched-tolerance bit required - installs with a standard ANSI drill bit, so there is no need to source or carry specialty tooling
• Zinc plated with a baked-on ceramic coating - provides a durable finish layer suited for the dry interior environments where this anchor is rated for use
• Compatible with cordless drills and impact drivers - the 1/4 in. hex drive means installers can use common, readily available power tools for fast and efficient installation

Why This Product

• Fewer installation headaches on every hole - the Torque Reduction Channel actively manages drilling dust during driving, directly reducing the binding and snapping issues that slow down masonry screw installation with conventional designs
• No hole-cleaning step required - code-listed approval for use without clearing dust from predrilled holes means faster workflow on concrete anchoring tasks, particularly where multiple fasteners are being driven in sequence
• Works with tools you already own - the standard ANSI drill bit requirement and 1/4 in. hex drive mean this anchor integrates into existing tool setups without additional investment in matched-tolerance bits or specialty drivers
• Proven code compliance for concrete applications - ICC-ES AC193 listing and IAPMO UES ER-712 recognition give builders and contractors documented third-party validation of performance, supporting use on projects where code compliance documentation is required

Frequently Asked Questions

Does installing the Titen Turbo require a matched-tolerance drill bit?

No. A matched-tolerance bit is not required. The Titen Turbo is designed to install using a standard ANSI drill bit, simplifying the installation process and reducing the need for specialized tooling.

Do I need to clean dust from the predrilled hole before driving the screw?

No. The Titen Turbo is code listed in accordance with ICC-ES AC193 for concrete applications without cleaning dust from predrilled holes (IAPMO UES ER-712). The Torque Reduction Channel traps drilling dust so it cannot obstruct thread action.

What tool is recommended for installing the Titen Turbo?

The Titen Turbo is designed for installation with a cordless drill or impact driver, paired with a standard 1/4 in. hex drive. This makes for fast, convenient installation without requiring specialty power tools.

Can the Titen Turbo be used in outdoor or wet environments?

No. The Titen Turbo TNT18134H is intended for use in dry interior environments only. Its zinc plated with baked-on ceramic coating finish is suited for interior applications and should not be used in wet, exterior, or corrosive conditions.
