The Titen HD is a patented, high-strength threaded anchor for concrete and masonry. The self-undercutting, non-expansion characteristics of the Titen HD makes it the ideal anchor for structural applications, even at minimum edge distances and under reduced spacing conditions. The proprietary cutting teeth enable the Titen HD to be installed in significantly less time than traditional expansion anchors, and at significantly reduced installation torques. This heat-treated anchor undercuts the concrete to form a strong mechanical interlock over the entire length of the anchor. The anchor can be installed with a standard ANSI masonry drill bit and is removable. The Titen HD is recommended for permanent dry, non-corrosive applications or temporary outdoor applications.
FEATURES
- Higher load capacity and vibration resistance: Threads along the length of the anchor efficiently transfer the load to the base material.
- Less spacing and edge distance required: The anchor does not exert expansion forces on the base material.
- No special drill bit needed: Designed to install using standard sized drill bits.
- Installs with 50% less torque: Testing shows that when compared with a major competitor, the Titen HD requires 50% less torque to be installed in concrete.
- Less installation time: No secondary setting or torquing is required.
- Stamped Hex-washer head: Requires no separate washer and provides a clean installed appearance. The head is stamped
with the Simpson sign
and the anchor length in inches for easy inspection. (Some local building jurisdictions may
require a separate washer.)
- Removable: Ideal for temporary anchoring (e.g. formwork, bracing) or applications where fixtures may need to be moved.
- Mechanical galvanized coating is available. Refer to www.strongtie.com/info for corrosion information.

Edge and end distances for Titen HD® in concrete slab corner condition
US Patent 5,674,035
SHEAR LOADS IN NORMAL-WEIGHT CONCRETE
- Washer and CFS member thickness to be considered by Designer.
- Refer to ICC ESR-1056 reduction factors for edge distance less than 4 1/2".
- Shear parallel to the edge of slab (except shear can be applied in any direction for 3/8 Titen HD). Allowable loads may be increased 1/3 for short-term loading due to seismic or wind forces where permitted by code (See Steel Stress Increase).
- 2001 AISI NASPEC, Eq. E3.3.1-1, Ω = 2.5. See Conversion Charts for CFS thickness standards and General Notes (e) for CFS properties.
- Allowable loads must be the lesser of the concrete or CFS strength.
TENSION LOADS IN NORMAL-WEIGHT CONCRETE
- Use interaction formula for combined tension/shear (Ps/Pt)5/3 + (Vs/Vt)5/3 ≤ 1.0.
- Critical spacing distance = 16D. Critical end distance = 8D.
- 2001 AISI NASPEC, Eq. E4.4.2-1 divided by 2.0 (one-sided loading), Ω = 3.0, dw = 0.5". See Conversion Charts for CFS thickness standards and General Notes (e) for CFS properties.
- Allowable loads must be the lesser of the concrete or CFS strength.
- Allowable loads may be increased 1/3 for short-term loading due to seismic or wind forces where permitted by code (see Steel Stress Increase).
