The Simpson Titen Turbo 3/16 in. x 2-1/4 in. Flat-Head Screw Anchor is a carbon steel concrete and masonry screw engineered for fast, reliable fastening in wood-to-concrete and wood-to-masonry applications. At the core of its performance is a patented Torque Reduction Channel thread design that lowers driving torque while maintaining superior holding power - giving installers a screw anchor that threads directly into pre-drilled holes in concrete, brick, or block without a separate expansion anchor. The result is consistently trouble-free installation and fastening strength you can depend on, whether you are working with a cordless drill or an impact driver.

Key Features

• Torque Reduction Channel between the threads - traps drilling dust so it cannot obstruct thread action, dramatically reducing binding, stripping, and snapping during installation
• Code listed per ICC-ES AC193 for concrete applications without cleaning predrilled holes (IAPMO UES ER-712) - eliminates the time-consuming step of hole cleaning, keeping projects moving faster
• Serrated screw point - makes starting the fastener in wood significantly easier, reducing fumbling and improving accuracy when anchoring wood members to concrete or masonry
• Compatible with standard ANSI drill bits - no matched-tolerance bit required, so installers can use tools already on hand without additional purchases
• Zinc plated with a baked-on ceramic coating - provides a durable protective finish and the distinctive blue color that makes field identification quick and straightforward
• 6-lobe flat-head style with T25 driver bit included - the flat-head profile sits flush for a smooth installed surface, and the included bit means you are ready to work right out of the package
• Designed for cordless drill or impact driver installation - compatible with standard jobsite tools for flexible, efficient installation across a wide range of concrete and masonry anchoring tasks
• For use in dry interior environments only - specifying this upfront helps buyers select the correct anchor for their application and avoid callbacks or code issues

Why This Product

• Skip the hole-cleaning step legally - the Titen Turbo is code listed under ICC-ES AC193 for concrete fastening without cleaning dust from predrilled holes, saving measurable time on every installation without sacrificing compliance
• Fewer installation failures on the job - the patented Torque Reduction Channel actively prevents the binding, stripping, and snapping that plague standard concrete screws, making this anchor a dependable choice for production-pace work
• No specialty tooling required - because a standard ANSI drill bit handles the pre-drilling and a T25 driver bit is already included, installers face no hidden add-on costs or tool sourcing delays before getting started
• A trusted name in structural fastening - Simpson Strong-Tie engineered this screw anchor to meet recognized code standards, giving contractors and builders confidence that their concrete and masonry connections are backed by verified performance data

Frequently Asked Questions

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

No. A matched-tolerance bit is not required. The Titen Turbo is designed to install using a standard ANSI drill bit, making setup simpler and more convenient on the job site.

What is the Torque Reduction Channel and why does it matter?

The Torque Reduction Channel is a patented feature located between the threads of the screw anchor. It gives drilling dust a dedicated space to collect so it cannot obstruct the thread action, significantly reducing torque-related problems such as binding, stripping, and snapping during installation.

Can this screw anchor be used without pre-cleaning the drilled hole?

Yes. 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), saving time during installation.

Is the Titen Turbo suitable for outdoor or wet environments?

No. This screw anchor is intended for use in dry interior environments only. Its zinc plated with baked-on ceramic coating provides protection suited for interior conditions but it is not rated for exterior or wet applications.
