DeWALT ANCHORS & FASTENERS UltraCon+ 1/4" x 6" Hex Washer Head Screw Anchor is a carbon steel concrete and masonry fastener engineered for light to medium duty anchoring in concrete, masonry block, brick, and wood base materials. Finished in a distinctive blue Stalgard coating, this screw anchor delivers fast, clean installation without the complications of expansion-based anchoring systems. Whether you are securing window frames, lighting fixtures, thresholds, or joint flashing, the UltraCon+ provides a reliable, professional result with a neat finished appearance that holds up in demanding concrete and masonry environments.

Key Features

• Gimlet point design - enables self-drilling directly into wood base materials without pre-drilling, saving time and reducing required tools on the job
• High-low thread design - alternating thread profile provides greater stability and grip in concrete, masonry, and wood, resulting in a stronger and more secure hold
• Does not exert expansion forces - eliminates the risk of cracking or splitting in concrete and masonry near edges, making it safer to use in close-to-edge applications
• No hole spotting required - simplifies layout and speeds up installation, reducing the steps needed before driving the anchor
• Removable and reusable in wood - the screw anchor can be backed out and reinstalled in wood applications, reducing waste and offering flexibility during construction or adjustments
• Blue Stalgard coating on carbon steel - provides corrosion protection while offering a color-coded finish that helps identify the correct drill bit size and simplifies on-site organization
• Available in several head styles - hex washer head option suits a wide range of tool access scenarios and provides a clean, professional appearance when installed
• Serves the same purpose as what is commonly known as Tapcon screws - a familiar, trusted anchoring concept with the engineered precision of the UltraCon+ system

Why This Product

• No expansion forces means safer anchoring near concrete or masonry edges where cracking or spalling is a concern - a direct advantage over traditional wedge or sleeve anchors in tight-clearance installations
• The gimlet point and high-low thread design work together to eliminate pre-drilling in wood and maximize grip in concrete and masonry, making this a versatile single-anchor solution across multiple base materials
• The blue Stalgard coating on carbon steel provides corrosion resistance while the color-coded system helps match the anchor to the correct drill bit - reducing errors and improving installation accuracy
• Engineered as part of a complete fastening system with matched tolerance drill bits and installation tools, the UltraCon+ is designed to deliver consistent, optimum performance across light to medium duty concrete and masonry applications
