The Simpson Titen HD 1/2 in. x 6 in. Mechanically Galvanized Heavy-Duty Screw Anchor is a high-strength carbon steel anchor engineered for structural anchoring in cracked and uncracked concrete, as well as uncracked masonry. Built with a proprietary heat treatment and an ASTM B695 Class 65 mechanically galvanized coating, it delivers dependable performance across interior and exterior environments - making it a reliable choice for sill plates, ledgers, post bases, holdown applications, temporary bracing, and formwork.

Key Features

• Head-stamped for easy identification - allows installers to quickly confirm the correct anchor is in use on the jobsite, reducing costly mix-ups.
• Serrated teeth on the tip facilitate cutting and reduce installation torque - less force required during driving means faster installation and less wear on tools.
• Thread design undercuts to efficiently transfer the load to the base material - optimized load transfer helps the anchor perform reliably under structural demand.
• Specialized heat-treating process creates tip hardness for better cutting without compromising ductility - the anchor cuts cleanly into concrete while retaining the toughness needed to resist cracking or breaking during installation.
• Hex washer head requires no separate washer, unless required by code - fewer components to manage on the job means a simpler, more efficient installation process.
• ASTM B695 Class 65 mechanically galvanized coating qualified for exterior applications - provides corrosion resistance in exposed conditions, extending the service life of the anchor in outdoor and high-moisture environments.
• Installs with standard-sized ANSI tolerance drill bits - no special drill bit required - compatible with common jobsite tooling so there is no need to source specialty equipment before starting work.

Why This Product

• Versatile structural performance across multiple base materials - rated for use in both cracked and uncracked concrete as well as uncracked masonry, this screw anchor covers a broad range of anchoring conditions that a single-substrate anchor cannot match.
• Removable and reusable for temporary applications - the screw anchor design allows it to be backed out and repositioned, making it practical for temporary bracing, formwork, and applications where fixture relocation may be needed.
• Engineered for interior and exterior use without additional hardware - the mechanically galvanized finish and integrated hex washer head mean the anchor is ready for exterior exposure right out of the box, with no extra washers or protective coatings required in most installations.
• Designed for a wide range of structural connections - approved for sill plates, ledgers, post bases, seating, and holdown applications, this anchor handles the high-demand connections that are common in residential and light commercial construction.
