The Simpson Titen Turbo 1/4 in. x 5 in. Hex-Head Concrete and Masonry Screw Anchor from Simpson is a high-performance fastening solution engineered for fast, reliable anchoring in concrete and masonry substrates. Its patented-pending thread design lowers driving torque while delivering superior holding power, and the revolutionary Torque Reduction Channel gives drilling dust a dedicated place to collect so it cannot obstruct thread action - significantly reducing binding, stripping, and snapping during installation. Whether you are securing wood to concrete, anchoring structural elements to block, or tackling demanding masonry fastening tasks in dry interior environments, this screw anchor threads directly into a pre-drilled hole without a separate expansion anchor, giving you a consistently trouble-free installation from start to finish.

Key Features

• Torque Reduction Channel (patent pending) - traps drilling dust between the threads where it cannot obstruct thread action, reducing binding, stripping, and snapping so installations go smoothly every time
• Code listed per ICC-ES AC193 for concrete applications (IAPMO UES ER-712) - no hole cleaning required before installation, saving time on the job and meeting recognized compliance standards
• Serrated screw point - provides easier starts when fastening wood to concrete, reducing setup effort and keeping work moving efficiently
• Compatible with standard ANSI drill bits - no matched-tolerance or proprietary bit required, so you can use tools you already own without added expense
• Zinc plated with a baked-on ceramic coating - provides a durable protective finish suited for dry interior concrete and masonry anchoring applications
• Designed for use with a cordless drill or impact driver - compatible with common jobsite tools, making installation fast and accessible without specialized equipment
• 5/16 in. hex drive head - delivers positive bit engagement and efficient torque transfer, helping reduce cam-out and installation fatigue

Why This Product

• Engineered to cut installation frustration - the Torque Reduction Channel actively manages drilling dust during installation, targeting the root cause of the most common screw anchor failures: binding, stripping, and snapping mid-drive
• No specialty tooling or hole prep required - a standard ANSI 3/16 in. drill bit is all you need, and there is no requirement to clean dust from the predrilled hole, streamlining the entire concrete anchoring process
• Code-listed confidence for concrete applications - ICC-ES AC193 listing through IAPMO UES ER-712 means this masonry screw anchor meets recognized standards, giving contractors and builders documented backing for their fastening choices
• Versatile anchor for wood-to-concrete and masonry fastening - the serrated point and hex-head drive make this screw anchor equally capable for structural wood attachments and direct concrete or masonry anchoring in dry interior settings

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a special matched-tolerance drill bit to install the Titen Turbo TNT25500H?

No. A matched-tolerance bit is not required. The Titen Turbo is designed to install using a standard ANSI drill bit with a 3/16 in. diameter, making it more convenient and accessible than anchors that require proprietary tooling.

What is the Torque Reduction Channel and how does it help during installation?

The Torque Reduction Channel is a revolutionary design feature (patent pending) located between the threads of the screw anchor. It gives drilling dust a dedicated space to collect so it cannot obstruct the thread action. This significantly reduces torque-related problems such as binding, stripping, and snapping, resulting in consistently smooth and trouble-free installation.

Does the hole need to be cleaned before installing this screw anchor in concrete?

No. The Titen Turbo TNT25500H 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 labor during installation.

Can the Titen Turbo TNT25500H be used outdoors or in wet environments?

No. This screw anchor is intended for use in dry interior environments only. It features a zinc-plated finish with a baked-on ceramic coating, but is not rated for outdoor or wet-condition applications.
