DeWALT Anchors and Fasteners UltraCon+ Hex Washer Head Screw Anchor, 1/4" x 1 1/4", Carbon Steel with Blue Stalgard Coating is a light to medium duty concrete and masonry fastening solution engineered for reliable performance in concrete, masonry block, brick, and wood base materials. The gimlet point allows self-drilling directly into wood without pre-drilling, saving time on the job. With a high-low thread design and a neat, finished hex washer head profile, this screw anchor delivers the grip, stability, and clean appearance that professionals expect from a trusted fastening system. It serves the same function as what is commonly known as a Tapcon screw, making it a familiar and versatile choice for a wide range of light to medium duty anchoring applications.

Key Features

• Gimlet point tip - allows self-drilling into wood base materials without pre-drilling, reducing installation steps and saving time on the job site
• High-low thread design - provides greater stability and grip in concrete, masonry block, and brick, helping maximize holding strength for each anchor
• Does not exert expansion forces - reduces the risk of cracking or spalling in concrete and masonry, making it safer to install near edges and in thinner materials
• No hole spotting required - simplifies and speeds up installation by eliminating an extra step before drilling
• Blue Stalgard coating on carbon steel - provides corrosion protection and a finished appearance, with the color helping to identify anchor size at a glance
• Removable and reusable in wood - allows the anchor to be backed out and repositioned in wood base material, offering flexibility during installation or rework
• Available in several head styles and finishes - lets the installer match the anchor to the application and aesthetic requirements of the job
• Hex washer head drive style - works with standard hex drive tools for fast, secure installation without bit slippage

Why This Product

• Functions as a direct alternative to what is commonly known as Tapcon screws - making it a familiar, easy-to-specify option for contractors and tradespeople already comfortable with concrete screw anchoring systems
• The gimlet point and no-hole-spotting design cut pre-work steps - ideal for applications like window and door frame installation, lighting fixtures, thresholds, and joint flashing where speed and precision matter
• The absence of expansion forces during installation means this anchor can be placed closer to edges and in masonry block without risking material damage - a meaningful advantage in finished construction environments
• Engineered to work with matched tolerance drill bits and installation tools - helping ensure optimum performance and consistent results across light to medium duty concrete and masonry anchoring tasks
