The Simpson Titen HD 1/2 in. x 13 in. Heavy-Duty Screw Anchor is a high-strength carbon steel screw anchor engineered for optimum performance in both cracked and uncracked concrete and masonry. Its self-undercutting, non-expansion design makes it well-suited for demanding structural anchoring applications, even at reduced edge distances and spacings, and it has been tested and shown to provide outstanding performance under both static and seismic loading conditions. Recommended for permanent dry, interior non-corrosive environments or temporary outdoor applications, this anchor combines structural reliability with straightforward installation.

Key Features

• Qualified for static and seismic loading conditions - gives installers confidence that the anchor meets the performance demands of both everyday structural applications and seismic design requirements.
• Self-undercutting thread design efficiently transfers load to the base material - maximizes holding strength in concrete and masonry without requiring expansion, reducing stress on the surrounding base material.
• No special drill bit required - installs using standard-sized ANSI tolerance drill bits, simplifying procurement and keeping installation straightforward for crews already on site.
• Hex-washer head requires no separate washer - provides a clean installed appearance while eliminating an extra component from the installation process.
• Specialized heat-treating process creates tip hardness without sacrificing ductility - the carbon steel anchor cuts cleanly into concrete and masonry while maintaining the structural integrity needed for reliable long-term performance.
• Zinc-plated finish supports temporary exterior use - provides a level of corrosion resistance suitable for temporary outdoor applications where brief environmental exposure is expected.
• Single-use design preserves load capacity - the anchor is engineered for one-time installation; reinstalling it may cause excessive thread wear and reduce holding strength, so each anchor delivers its rated performance when used as intended.

Why This Product

• Dual-condition concrete performance - the Titen HD is specifically tested and approved for use in both cracked and uncracked concrete, making it a versatile choice for structural anchoring projects where base material conditions may vary.
• Seismic-qualified for code-sensitive applications - with testing under seismic loading conditions in addition to static loads, this anchor is well-positioned for projects where building codes require documented seismic performance.
• Simplified installation with standard tooling - because no special drill bits or additional washers are needed, the Titen HD reduces the number of components and tools required on the job, helping installers work more efficiently.
• Structurally sound at reduced edge distances and spacings - the self-undercutting, non-expansion characteristics allow placement closer to edges and adjacent anchors than many traditional expansion anchors, giving engineers and installers greater layout flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Titen HD anchor be used in cracked concrete?

Yes. The Titen HD anchor is specifically designed and tested for optimum performance in both cracked and uncracked concrete, making it suitable for a wide range of structural applications.

Do I need a special drill bit to install the Titen HD anchor?

No special drill bit is required. The Titen HD is designed to install using standard-sized ANSI tolerance drill bits, simplifying the installation process.

Can the Titen HD anchor be reused or reinstalled?

No. The Titen HD screw anchor is designed for one-time use only. Installing the anchor multiple times may result in excessive thread wear and reduce load capacity.

Is the Titen HD anchor suitable for outdoor use?

The zinc-plated carbon steel Titen HD is recommended for permanent dry, interior non-corrosive environments or temporary outdoor applications. It is not intended for permanent exterior or corrosive environment use.
