Titen screws are 3/16" and 1/4" diameter masonry screws for attaching all types of components to concrete and masonry. Carbon-steel Titen screws are available in hex and phillips head designs in blue, white or silver colors. Use with appropriately sized Titen drill bits included with each box.

For more information, see the Simpson Strong-Tie Anchor Systems page for Titen Concrete & Masonry Screws.

• Shear & Tension Loads

For more information, see Titen Concrete & Masonry Screws.

 

Shear and Tension Loads

1. Allowable loads are based on a safety factor of 5.0 for installations under the IBC and IRC.
2. Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) values are based on 2001 AISI NAS, Section E4, Ω=3.0, d_w=5/16" (3/16" Titen) and d_w=3/8" (1/4" Titen). Reference General Notes for CFS properties.
3. Governing load is the lesser of CMU and CFS.
4. Use interaction formula for combined tension and shear (P_s/P_t) + (V_s/V_t) ≤ 1.0.
