Simpson 1/4 x 2-1/4 Hex Head Titen Turbo Screw Anchor by Simpson is a high-performance concrete and masonry screw anchor engineered for wood-to-concrete and wood-to-masonry fastening applications. With a patented reverse thread design, this hex head screw anchor cuts directly into concrete or masonry without the need for an anchor insert, delivering fast installation with reduced torque and reliable, high-strength holding power. The zinc plated with ceramic coating finish - recognizable by its standard blue color - provides durable protection against corrosion, making this anchor a dependable choice for structural and general construction fastening tasks.

Key Features

• Hex Head with 5/16 in. Drive - accepts a standard 5/16 in. wrench or hex driver, allowing fast, high-torque installation with common tools already on the jobsite
• Patented Reverse Thread Design - enables smooth driving with less torque required, reducing installer fatigue and speeding up production on large concrete anchoring jobs
• Zinc Plated with Ceramic Coating - the dual-layer finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to plain zinc alone, extending anchor service life in demanding environments
• Standard Blue Color - the distinctive blue ceramic coating makes Titen Turbo anchors easy to identify on the jobsite and confirms the presence of the protective ceramic layer
• Carbon Steel Construction - delivers the structural strength needed for wood-to-concrete and wood-to-masonry connections where reliable load transfer is critical
• 1/4 in. Diameter x 2-1/4 in. Length - a compact, versatile size suited to a wide range of light-to-medium-duty concrete and masonry anchoring applications
• 3/16 in. Drill Bit Required - the slightly undersize pilot hole ensures the screw threads engage and cut securely into the base material for maximum holding power
• Cuts Directly into Concrete or Masonry - no separate anchor sleeve or insert required, meaning fewer components to manage and faster overall installation time

Why This Product

• The reverse thread design cuts into concrete or masonry directly, eliminating the need for a separate insert anchor and reducing installation steps - ideal for high-volume wood-to-concrete fastening projects where speed matters.
• The zinc plated with ceramic coating finish delivers a higher level of corrosion protection than standard zinc plating, making this screw anchor a sound choice for applications where moisture exposure is a concern.
• At 1/4 in. diameter and 2-1/4 in. length, this anchor offers a practical size for typical wood-to-concrete connections such as sill plate anchoring, furring strip attachment, and light structural framing - versatile enough for everyday use.
• Driven with a common 5/16 in. hex wrench or socket, this anchor works with standard tools already on hand, meaning no specialized equipment is needed to complete a secure, reliable installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size drill bit do I need to install this screw anchor?

A 3/16 in. drill bit is required to create the pilot hole before driving this 1/4 in. Titen Turbo anchor. Using the correct undersize pilot hole ensures the anchor threads cut cleanly into the concrete or masonry and develop full holding strength.

What tool is needed to drive this anchor?

This anchor has a 5/16 in. hex head and requires a 5/16 in. wrench, nut driver, or hex socket to install. It can be driven with a standard power drill or impact driver fitted with the appropriate hex socket for fast, efficient installation.

What base materials is this screw anchor designed for?

The Titen Turbo screw anchor is designed to cut directly into concrete or masonry base materials. It is suited to wood-to-concrete and wood-to-masonry anchoring applications such as sill plate connections, furring strip attachment, and light structural framing anchored to a concrete substrate.

What is the purpose of the ceramic coating on this anchor?

The ceramic coating is applied over the zinc plating to provide an additional layer of corrosion protection beyond standard zinc plating alone. It also gives the anchor its characteristic standard blue color, making it easy to identify on the jobsite as a Titen Turbo product with the full dual-layer protective finish.
