The Titen HD® Rod Coupler is designed to be used in conjunction with a single or multi-story rod tie-down system. This anchor provides a fast and simple way to attach threaded rod to concrete stem wall or thickened slab footing. Unlike adhesive anchors, the installation requires no special tool, cure time or secondary setting process; just drill a hole and drive the anchor.

INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
See below.
INSTALLATION
Caution: Oversized holes in the base material will reduce or eliminate the mechanical interlock of the threads with base material and will reduce the anchor’s load capacity. Use a Titen HD® Rod Coupler one time only. Installing the anchor multiple times may result in excessive thread wear and reduce load capacity
- Drill a hole using the specified diameter carbide bit into the base material to a depth of at least 1/2" deeper than the required embedment.
- Blow the hole clean of dust and debris using compressed air. Overhead application need not to be blown clean.
- Tighten the anchor with appropriate size socket until the head sits flush against base material
