DeWALT UltraCon+ Hex Washer Head Screw Anchor, 1/4 in. x 2-3/4 in., Carbon Steel with Blue Stalgard Coating by DeWALT ANCHORS & FASTENERS is a versatile concrete and masonry screw anchor engineered for light to medium duty fastening in concrete, masonry block, brick, and wood base materials. Featuring a hex washer head, a gimlet point for self-drilling into wood without pre-drilling, and a high-low thread design for superior grip, this anchor installs quickly and leaves a neat, finished appearance. The blue Stalgard coating provides good corrosion protection while also serving as a quick visual reference for bit size selection - making it a reliable choice for window and door frame installations, lighting fixtures, joint flashing, thresholds, shutters, and similar applications.

Key Features

• Gimlet point design - self-drills into wood base materials without pre-drilling, saving time and reducing steps on the job
• High-low thread design - alternating thread profile bites deeper into the base material for greater stability and grip compared to uniform-thread anchors
• Does not exert expansion forces - eliminates the risk of cracking or spalling in concrete and masonry near edges, allowing closer placement to material edges
• No hole spotting required - simplifies installation by eliminating an extra layout step, speeding up workflow
• Removable and reusable in wood - allows repositioning or removal when used in wood base materials, adding flexibility on the job
• Blue Stalgard coating on carbon steel construction - provides good corrosion protection and serves as a color-coded indicator for matching the correct drill bit size
• Hex washer head - compatible with standard hex driver bits for fast, positive engagement during installation
• Available in several head styles and colors - allows matching the right anchor style to the specific application and aesthetic requirement
• Functions as a Tapcon-style concrete screw anchor - a direct alternative for users familiar with threaded masonry anchors in light to medium duty concrete and masonry fastening

Why This Product

• One fastener for multiple base materials - the UltraCon+ screw anchor is rated for concrete, masonry block, brick, and wood, so you can carry a single anchor type across varied job site conditions rather than stocking multiple anchor styles
• Fast installation with no expansion forces - because this anchor threads directly into the pre-drilled hole without wedging or expanding, it reduces the risk of damaging the surrounding base material, making it well suited for anchoring near edges in concrete and masonry block
• Engineered as a complete fastening system - designed to work with matched tolerance drill bits and installation tools for optimum performance, reducing guesswork and improving consistency across installations
• Removable in wood applications - unlike adhesive anchors or driven fasteners, the UltraCon+ can be extracted and reinstalled in wood base materials, giving contractors the ability to make adjustments after initial installation

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the UltraCon+ screw anchor require pre-drilling when used in wood?

No. The gimlet point on the UltraCon+ is specifically designed to allow self-drilling directly into wood base materials without the need for pre-drilling, saving installation time and simplifying the process.

Can this anchor be removed and reused after installation?

Yes - the UltraCon+ screw anchor is removable and reusable when installed in wood base materials. This makes it a practical choice when adjustments or repositioning may be needed after initial installation.

What is the significance of the blue coating on this anchor?

The blue finish is a Stalgard coating applied to the carbon steel anchor. It provides good corrosion protection and also serves as a color-coding system to help users identify and match the correct drill bit size for installation, reducing errors on the job site.

Will this anchor crack or damage concrete near edges when installed?

The UltraCon+ screw anchor does not exert expansion forces during installation. Because it threads into the pre-drilled hole rather than expanding outward, it reduces the risk of cracking or spalling in concrete and masonry, making it suitable for placements closer to material edges than traditional expansion anchors.
