The Simpson Titen HD 1/2 in. x 6-1/2 in. Mechanically Galvanized Heavy-Duty Screw Anchor is a high-strength carbon steel anchor engineered for reliable structural fastening 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, this heavy-duty screw anchor is qualified for both interior and exterior anchoring applications - making it a dependable choice for sill plates, ledgers, post bases, holdowns, and temporary applications such as bracing and formwork where the anchor may need to be removed and reused.

Key Features

• Head-stamped for easy identification - allows installers to quickly confirm the correct anchor is in use on the job site, reducing costly mix-ups.
• Serrated teeth on the tip facilitates cutting and reduces installation torque - less effort and strain during driving means faster installation and reduced tool wear.
• Thread design undercuts to efficiently transfer the load to the base material - optimized load transfer helps the anchor achieve strong, consistent holding power in concrete and masonry.
• Specialized heat-treating process creates tip hardness for better cutting without compromising ductility - the anchor cuts cleanly through base material while retaining the flexibility needed to resist structural stress.
• Hex washer head requires no separate washer, unless required by code - eliminates an extra component from the installation process, saving time and simplifying assembly.
• ASTM B695 Class 65 mechanically galvanized coating - provides corrosion resistance that qualifies this screw anchor for exterior use as well as protected interior environments.
• Removable design supports temporary and relocatable applications - the anchor can be backed out and reused for bracing, formwork, or fixture repositioning without damaging the base material.

Why This Product

• Versatile base material compatibility - engineered for use in both cracked and uncracked concrete as well as uncracked masonry, this anchor covers a broader range of structural conditions than many standard screw anchors, reducing the need to stock multiple anchor types.
• No special tooling required - designed to install using standard-sized ANSI tolerance drill bits, so crews can get to work immediately without sourcing proprietary accessories or specialty equipment.
• Built-in corrosion protection for demanding environments - the ASTM B695 Class 65 mechanically galvanized finish means this anchor holds up in exterior conditions and wet environments where uncoated carbon steel anchors would fall short.
• Engineered for high-load structural connections - the combination of proprietary heat treatment, an undercutting thread design, and serrated tip geometry makes this anchor well suited for critical connections such as holdowns, post bases, and ledger attachments where load performance matters.
