DeWALT ANCHORS & FASTENERS UltraCon+ Hex Washer Head Screw Anchor in 1/4 in. x 5 in. is a high-performance concrete and masonry fastener engineered for light to medium duty anchoring in concrete, masonry block, brick, and wood base materials. Featuring a blue Stalgard coating on carbon steel construction, this screw anchor delivers a neat, finished appearance while providing dependable holding strength. The gimlet point allows self-drilling directly into wood without pre-drilling, saving time on mixed-substrate installations. Whether you are anchoring window frames, lighting fixtures, or thresholds, this concrete screw anchor is designed for fast, clean installation with no expansion forces on the surrounding base material - making it a reliable alternative to traditional Tapcon-style screws.

Key Features

• Gimlet point design - enables self-drilling into wood base materials without pre-drilling, reducing prep time and tool changes on the job
• High-low thread design - provides greater stability and grip in concrete, masonry, and wood compared to single-thread anchors
• Does not exert expansion forces - eliminates edge distance cracking concerns in concrete and masonry block applications
• No hole spotting required - speeds up installation by allowing direct placement without marking a pilot center
• Blue Stalgard coating on carbon steel - provides corrosion protection while offering a color-coded, visually finished appearance
• Removable and reusable in wood - allows repositioning or removal without damaging the base material, adding long-term installation flexibility
• Available in several head styles - hex washer head in this configuration gives a broad bearing surface and easy wrench engagement for consistent torque
• Serves the same purpose as what is commonly known as Tapcon screws - a familiar, trusted anchoring method in a refined, matched-system design

Why This Product

• Handles concrete, masonry block, brick, and wood in a single anchor system - reducing the need to stock multiple fastener types for mixed-base applications like window and door frame installations
• The gimlet point and no-hole-spotting design mean fewer steps between layout and finished anchor - ideal for production-pace work where speed and accuracy both matter
• Carbon steel with Stalgard coating in a distinct blue finish provides corrosion resistance along with easy identification on site when color-coding fastener types by substrate or load zone
• Engineered as part of the matched UltraCon+ fastening system - the anchor is designed to work with matched tolerance drill bits and installation tools for optimum holding performance in light to medium duty connections

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this screw anchor be removed and reused?

Yes - the UltraCon+ screw anchor is removable and reusable in wood base materials. This makes it a practical choice when temporary or adjustable connections are needed in wood substrates.

Does this anchor require a pre-drilled pilot hole in wood?

No. The gimlet point on this screw anchor is specifically designed for self-drilling into wood base materials without pre-drilling, streamlining installation when working with wood substrates.

Will this anchor crack or damage the surrounding concrete or masonry during installation?

No - the UltraCon+ screw anchor does not exert expansion forces on the base material, which helps prevent cracking at edges and in thinner concrete or masonry block sections.

What makes the UltraCon+ different from a standard Tapcon screw?

The UltraCon+ is engineered as a complete fastening system with matched tolerance drill bits and installation tools for optimum performance. It also features a high-low thread design for greater stability and grip, is available in multiple head styles and colors, and includes a blue Stalgard coating for corrosion protection - all serving the same fundamental purpose as what is commonly known as Tapcon screws but within a refined, system-matched solution.
