Simpson Strong-Tie Titen Turbo 3/16 x 2-1/4 Flat Head Screw Anchor in White is engineered for fast, reliable fastening in concrete and masonry applications. Featuring a revolutionary thread design that reduces driving torque while delivering superior holding power, this carbon steel screw anchor is the go-to choice for wood-to-concrete and structural anchoring tasks where dependable performance and trouble-free installation matter most.

Key Features

• Torque Reduction Channel between threads - gives drilling dust a clear path to escape, significantly reducing binding, stripping, and snapping during installation so you drive faster with less effort
• Patented reverse thread design - lowers driving torque while maintaining superior holding power, meaning fewer stripped fasteners and more consistent results on every job
• Flat head profile - sits flush against the work surface for a clean, low-profile finish that works well in tight or finished-surface applications
• T25 6-Lobe drive type - provides a secure bit engagement that reduces cam-out and improves torque transfer for precise, efficient driving
• Zinc plated with ceramic coating in white - combines corrosion resistance with a finished appearance that blends into white trim, molding, or light-colored surfaces
• Carbon steel construction - delivers the strength and rigidity needed for structural anchoring into concrete and masonry substrates
• 3/16 in. diameter with a 5/32 in. pilot hole requirement - a close drill-to-anchor fit maximizes thread engagement in the base material for reliable pull-out resistance

Why This Product

• The Torque Reduction Channel actively vents drilling debris during installation, directly addressing the most common screw anchor failures - binding, stripping, and snapping - so installers spend less time troubleshooting and more time completing work
• The white ceramic coating makes this anchor the right choice when aesthetics matter, such as anchoring white trim boards, door frames, or light-colored millwork to concrete or masonry without leaving a visible dark fastener head
• The T25 6-Lobe drive system pairs with a matching bit for a positive, wobble-free connection that gives the installer full control and reduces the risk of slipping and damaging surrounding surfaces
• At 3/16 in. diameter and 2-1/4 in. length, this anchor is sized for practical, everyday wood-to-concrete fastening tasks where a strong, low-profile connection is required without oversizing the fastener or the pilot hole

Frequently Asked Questions

What size pilot hole does the 3/16 Titen Turbo screw anchor require?

A 5/32 in. diameter drill bit is required to create the pilot hole before driving this screw anchor. Using the correct pilot hole size ensures proper thread engagement in the base material and helps achieve the anchor's full holding power.

What drive bit is compatible with this screw anchor?

This anchor uses a T25 6-Lobe drive. The 6-lobe bit geometry provides a secure, wobble-free fit that maximizes torque transfer and minimizes the risk of cam-out during driving.

Why does this anchor feature a white ceramic coating?

The zinc plated with ceramic coating finish serves two purposes - it provides corrosion resistance, and the white color allows the fastener head to blend visually with white trim, molding, or light-colored surfaces where an exposed dark fastener head would be noticeable.

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

The Torque Reduction Channel is a patented feature built into the thread design of the Titen Turbo. It creates a dedicated space between the threads where drilling dust can collect and exit rather than building up and resisting the fastener. This directly reduces torque-related problems like binding, stripping, and snapping, resulting in consistently smooth and trouble-free installations.
