The Simpson Titen HD 1/2 in. x 12 in. Mechanically Galvanized Heavy-Duty Screw Anchor is a high-strength carbon steel screw anchor built for demanding structural fastening in cracked and uncracked concrete, as well as uncracked masonry. Its proprietary heat treatment and ASTM B695 Class 65 mechanically galvanized coating make it a dependable choice for both interior and exterior anchoring, whether you are securing sill plates, ledgers, post bases, holdowns, or temporary formwork and bracing.

Key Features

• Head-stamped for easy identification - lets installers quickly confirm the correct anchor is in use without slowing down the job.
• Serrated teeth on the tip facilitate cutting and reduce installation torque - means faster, easier driving and less wear on tools during installation.
• Thread design undercuts to efficiently transfer the load to the base material - delivers reliable load performance in both cracked and uncracked concrete anchoring applications.
• Specialized heat-treating process creates tip hardness for better cutting without compromising ductility - gives you a tough cutting edge that resists breakage, helping the anchor perform consistently in hard base materials.
• Hex washer head requires no separate washer, unless required by code - reduces hardware count and simplifies installation, saving time on the job site.
• ASTM B695 Class 65 mechanically galvanized coating - qualifies the anchor for exterior applications where corrosion resistance is essential.
• Removable after installation - makes this anchor a practical choice for temporary applications like bracing and formwork, or whenever a fixture needs to be relocated.
