The Simpson Titen HD 5/8 in. x 5 in. Mechanically Galvanized Heavy-Duty Screw Anchor is a high-strength carbon steel fastener engineered for demanding 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, this heavy-duty screw anchor performs reliably in both interior and exterior environments. Designed for applications including sill plates, ledgers, post bases, seating, and holdown connections, it also supports temporary uses such as bracing and formwork thanks to its removable design.

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 - makes driving the anchor faster and less physically demanding, improving efficiency on every installation.
• Thread design undercuts to efficiently transfer the load to the base material - maximizes holding strength in concrete and masonry so connections perform as engineered.
• Specialized heat-treating process creates tip hardness for better cutting without compromising ductility - delivers a tip tough enough to penetrate hard base materials while keeping the anchor resistant to brittle failure under load.
• Hex washer head requires no separate washer, unless required by code - reduces the number of components needed on site and speeds up the fastening process.
• ASTM B695 Class 65 mechanically galvanized coating qualified for exterior applications - provides corrosion resistance suitable for exposed and outdoor anchoring conditions without sacrificing structural integrity.
• No special drill bit required - installs using standard-sized ANSI tolerance drill bits, so no additional tooling investment is needed.
• Easy to remove after installation - makes the anchor practical for temporary structures such as bracing and formwork, or whenever a fixture must be relocated.

Why This Product

• Versatile across base materials and conditions - approved for use in both cracked and uncracked concrete as well as uncracked masonry, this screw anchor covers a broad range of structural and construction anchoring scenarios with a single product.
• Built for interior and exterior use without compromise - the combination of a proprietary heat treatment and ASTM B695 Class 65 mechanically galvanized finish means the anchor holds up in exposed outdoor environments just as reliably as in protected interior settings.
• Engineered for fast, straightforward installation - serrated tip geometry reduces driving torque, the hex washer head eliminates the need for a separate washer, and compatibility with standard ANSI tolerance drill bits means less setup time and fewer accessories to manage.
• Reusable for temporary applications - because the anchor can be removed cleanly after installation, it is a practical choice for bracing, formwork, and other temporary fastening needs where repositioning or fixture relocation is anticipated.
