Simpson Strong-Tie Titen Turbo 1/4 x 3-1/4 Hex Head Screw Anchor is a high-performance concrete and masonry fastener engineered for fast, reliable installation in wood-to-concrete and structural anchoring applications. Built from carbon steel with a zinc plated and ceramic coating, this hex head screw anchor drives smoothly with reduced torque while delivering the holding power that demanding jobs require. The distinctive standard blue finish makes it easy to identify on the jobsite, and the 5/16 in. hex drive keeps installation straightforward with standard tooling.

Key Features

• Patented Torque Reduction Channel thread design - gives drilling dust a dedicated escape path between threads, significantly reducing binding, stripping, and snapping during installation so you get consistent, trouble-free driving every time
• 1/4 in. diameter x 3-1/4 in. length - sized for solid engagement in concrete and masonry substrates, providing dependable holding strength for structural and wood-to-concrete fastening
• Zinc plated with ceramic coating - adds a protective layer that helps resist corrosion and extends the anchor's service life in demanding installation environments
• 5/16 in. hex drive head - compatible with standard hex drivers and wrenches, allowing fast installation with common power tools and eliminating the need for specialty bits
• Requires a 3/16 in. drill bit - a precise, close-tolerance pilot hole produces the tight engagement needed for maximum holding power with minimal material removal
• Carbon steel construction - delivers the strength and rigidity required for reliable load transfer in concrete and masonry anchoring applications
• Standard blue color - provides quick visual identification of the Titen Turbo on site, helping crews select the right fastener efficiently

Why This Product

• The revolutionary Torque Reduction Channel design directly addresses the most common screw anchor frustrations - binding, stripping, and snapping - so installers spend less time troubleshooting and more time completing the job

Frequently Asked Questions

What size drill bit do I need to install the 1/4 x 3-1/4 Titen Turbo screw anchor?

You will need a 3/16 in. drill bit to prepare the pilot hole for this screw anchor. Using the correct bit size is critical - a close-tolerance hole ensures maximum thread engagement in the concrete or masonry, which directly supports the anchor's superior holding power.

What tool do I need to drive this anchor?

This anchor uses a 5/16 in. hex drive, so a standard 5/16 in. hex driver or wrench is all that is required. The hex head design is compatible with common power tools and impact drivers, making installation fast and straightforward.

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

The Torque Reduction Channel is a patented feature built into the Titen Turbo's thread design. It creates a dedicated space between the threads where drilling dust can accumulate and escape during installation. This significantly lowers driving torque and reduces the risk of binding, stripping, or snapping - common problems with conventional screw anchors in concrete and masonry applications.

Is this screw anchor suitable for use in concrete and masonry?

Yes. The Titen Turbo screw anchor is designed specifically to cut into concrete and masonry substrates, making it well suited for wood-to-concrete and related structural anchoring applications. The carbon steel construction and close-tolerance 3/16 in. pilot hole requirement ensure solid engagement and reliable holding strength in these materials.
