The Simpson Titen Turbo 3/16 in. x 3-1/4 in. Flat-Head Concrete and Masonry Screw Anchor in White is a high-performance carbon steel fastener from Simpson Strong-Tie, engineered for fast, reliable anchoring into concrete and masonry substrates. At the heart of its design is a patented Torque Reduction Channel thread system that lowers driving torque while delivering superior holding power - making it one of the most installer-friendly concrete screw anchors available for wood-to-concrete and structural masonry fastening. Like other direct-embed concrete screw anchors, the Titen Turbo threads directly into a pre-drilled pilot hole in concrete, brick, or block without a separate expansion anchor, combining speed and strength in a single fastener.

Key Features

• Torque Reduction Channel between the threads - traps drilling dust so it cannot obstruct thread action, significantly reducing binding, stripping, and snapping during installation for a smoother, more consistent drive every time
• Code listed per ICC-ES AC193 (IAPMO UES ER-712) - allows concrete installation without cleaning dust from pre-drilled holes, saving prep time on the job while meeting recognized code requirements
• Serrated screw point - enables easier starts when fastening through wood, reducing the effort needed to begin driving and keeping the anchor aligned before it contacts the concrete
• Compatible with standard ANSI drill bits - no matched-tolerance bit required, meaning installers can use tooling they already own and get to work faster without sourcing specialty accessories
• Zinc plated with a baked-on ceramic coating - provides a durable, finished white appearance that blends cleanly into interior installations
• Designed for cordless drill or impact driver installation - works with common jobsite tools so there is no need for specialized driving equipment
• 6-lobe flat head style with T25 drive - seats flush with the surface for a smooth, low-profile installed appearance, and the included T25 driver bit means the right tool is ready to go right out of the package

Why This Product

• Fewer installation failures on the job - the Torque Reduction Channel directly addresses the most common problems with concrete screw anchors - binding, stripping, and snapping - so contractors and DIYers spend less time troubleshooting and more time fastening
• No hole-cleaning step required - code-listed approval for use without cleaning dust from pre-drilled holes is a genuine time-saver in real-world conditions, where stopping to blow out every hole adds up quickly across a full project
• Versatile, tool-friendly design - compatibility with standard ANSI drill bits and common cordless drills or impact drivers means this anchor integrates into existing workflows without requiring additional tool investment
• Flat head profile for clean, finished results - the flush-seating flat head and white ceramic coating make this anchor a practical choice for visible interior concrete and masonry applications where appearance alongside performance matters

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a special matched-tolerance drill bit to install the Titen Turbo TNTW18314TF?

No. A matched-tolerance bit is not required. The Titen Turbo is designed for use with a standard ANSI drill bit. Use a 5/32 in. diameter drill bit to create the pilot hole before driving the screw anchor.

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

The Titen Turbo features a patented Torque Reduction Channel between the threads that gives drilling dust a place to go during installation. This significantly reduces torque-related issues such as binding, stripping, and snapping, resulting in consistently trouble-free installation compared to conventional concrete screw anchors.

Is the TNTW18314TF suitable for outdoor or wet environments?

No. This screw anchor is designed for use in dry interior environments only. For applications exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions, a different product with appropriate corrosion resistance should be selected.

What code approvals does the Titen Turbo carry for concrete installations?

The Titen Turbo is code listed in accordance with ICC-ES AC193 for concrete applications without cleaning dust from predrilled holes, as documented under IAPMO UES ER-712. This approval allows installation without the additional step of clearing the hole of drilling dust before driving the anchor.
