DeWALT Anchors and Fasteners UltraCon+ Hex Washer Head Screw Anchor in 1/4 in. x 1-3/4 in. is a carbon steel concrete and masonry fastener finished in a blue Stalgard coating, designed for light to medium duty anchoring in concrete, masonry block, brick, and wood base materials. The gimlet point allows self-drilling directly into wood without pre-drilling, saving time on mixed-substrate installations. Engineered as part of a complete screw anchor system, this fastener is compatible with matched tolerance drill bits and installation tools for reliable, consistent performance. The blue finish provides good corrosion protection and a clean, finished appearance once installed.

Key Features

• Hex washer head style - distributes clamping load evenly and accepts standard hex drive tools for fast, secure installation
• Gimlet point tip - self-drills into wood base materials without pre-drilling, reducing steps and installation time on wood substrates
• Carbon steel construction with blue Stalgard coating - delivers structural strength with good corrosion protection for longevity in the installed environment
• Does not exert expansion forces - eliminates edge and spacing restrictions common with expansion anchors, allowing more flexible placement near edges
• High-low thread design - provides greater stability and grip in concrete and masonry for secure, dependable load transfer
• Removable and reusable in wood - the screw can be backed out and reinstalled in wood applications, offering flexibility during construction or adjustment
• No hole spotting required - speeds up the installation process by eliminating an extra layout step
• Available in several head styles - the UltraCon+ system offers slotted hex washer head, Phillips flat head, Phillips Trimfit flat head, and hex flange head options to suit different application requirements
• Serves the same purpose as what is commonly known as Tapcon screws - a familiar, proven anchoring concept with DeWALT Anchors and Fasteners engineering behind it

Why This Product

• Versatile across substrates - rated for concrete, masonry block, brick, and wood base materials, this single fastener handles the varied conditions found on most light to medium duty job sites without switching anchor types
• Faster installation with the gimlet point - self-drilling capability into wood eliminates the pre-drilling step on wood bases, cutting installation time and keeping workflows moving
• Clean, finished look after installation - the blue Stalgard coating and hex washer head combine to leave a neat, professional appearance on exposed fastener heads, suitable for visible applications like window frames and lighting fixtures
• Engineered system compatibility - the UltraCon+ is designed to work with matched tolerance drill bits and installation tools, reducing the variables that lead to failed anchors or stripped holes and supporting optimum performance
