The Simpson Titen Turbo 1/4 in. x 2-1/4 in. Hex-Head Concrete and Masonry Screw Anchor from Simpson Strong-Tie is a carbon steel screw anchor engineered for fast, reliable fastening in concrete and masonry applications. Zinc plated with a baked-on ceramic coating and finished in standard blue, this hex-head anchor threads directly into a pre-drilled hole in concrete, brick, or block - no separate expansion anchor required. At the heart of its performance is a patented Torque Reduction Channel thread design that keeps drilling dust out of the thread path, dramatically cutting down on the binding, stripping, and snapping that plague standard concrete screw anchors. Whether you are securing wood to concrete or fastening into masonry, the Titen Turbo delivers consistently trouble-free installation with the holding power your project demands.

Key Features

• Torque Reduction Channel between threads - traps drilling dust so it cannot obstruct thread action, sharply reducing binding, stripping, and snapping during installation for a smoother, more reliable drive every time
• No hole cleaning required - code listed per ICC-ES AC193 for concrete applications without cleaning dust from predrilled holes (IAPMO UES ER-712), saving you a step on every single fastener
• Serrated screw point - bites into wood immediately on contact for easier starts when fastening wood-to-concrete or wood-to-masonry, reducing slippage and setup frustration
• Standard ANSI drill bit compatibility - no matched-tolerance bit required, so you can install with tools you already own and avoid added accessory costs
• Zinc plated with a baked-on ceramic coating - provides a durable protective finish suited to dry interior environments
• Designed for a cordless drill or impact driver - works with common jobsite tools, eliminating the need for specialized equipment and keeping installation fast
• 5/16 in. hex head drive - pairs with a standard 5/16 in. wrench or socket for secure engagement and positive torque transfer during driving

Why This Product

• Fewer installation failures on every hole - the Torque Reduction Channel actively prevents the dust buildup that causes concrete screw anchors to bind or snap mid-drive, meaning fewer broken fasteners and less rework on the job
• Skip the hole-cleaning step legally - because the Titen Turbo is code listed under ICC-ES AC193 for use without cleaning predrilled holes, you can move faster without sacrificing compliance or holding performance
• No specialty tooling needed - compatibility with standard ANSI drill bits and a common cordless drill or impact driver means this anchor fits into your existing workflow without added cost or setup time
• Engineered holding power from a trusted manufacturer - Simpson Strong-Tie designed this anchor with a thread profile that simultaneously lowers driving torque and maintains superior holding strength, giving installers confidence in both the process and the finished connection

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Titen Turbo different from standard concrete screw anchors?

The Titen Turbo features a revolutionary Torque Reduction Channel between its threads. This channel gives drilling dust a dedicated space so it cannot obstruct thread action, significantly reducing torque-related issues such as binding, stripping, and snapping during installation - resulting in consistently trouble-free fastening.

Do I need a special matched-tolerance drill bit to install the TNT25214H?

No. A matched-tolerance bit is not required. The Titen Turbo installs with a standard ANSI drill bit, making it simpler and more cost-effective to use with tools and accessories you likely already own.

Does the hole need to be cleaned of dust before installing this screw anchor?

No hole cleaning is required. The TNT25214H is code listed in accordance with ICC-ES AC193 for concrete applications without cleaning dust from predrilled holes (IAPMO UES ER-712), saving time and simplifying the installation process.

Is the Titen Turbo screw anchor suitable for outdoor or wet environments?

No. The TNT25214H is designed for use in dry interior environments only. Its zinc-plated with baked-on ceramic coating provides protection appropriate for interior conditions, but it should not be used in wet, damp, or exterior applications.
