The new stainless-steel Titen® screws are ideal for attaching all types of components to concrete and masonry in environments where corrosion is a concern. These screws combine the versatility of our standard Titen screws with the benefits of enhanced corrosion protection. The combination of 410 stainless steel and a protective coating provides excellent corrosion resistance. Available in hex and phillips head, the Titen screws are designed for use with appropriately-sized drill bits that are included with each box.

Installation Sequence
Caution: Oversized holes in the base material will reduce or eliminate the mechanical interlock of the threads with the base material and will reduce the anchor's load capacity.
- Drill a hole in the base material using the appropriate diameter carbide drill bit as specified in the table. Drill the hole to the specified embedment depth plus 1/2" to allow the thread tapping dust to settle and blow it clean using compressed air. Overhead installations need not be blown clean. Alternatively, drill the hole deep enough to accommodate embedment depth and dust from drilling and tapping.
- Position fixture, insert screw and tighten using drill and installation tool fitted with a hex socket or phillips bit.
Preservative-treated wood applications: Suitable for use in non-ammonia formulations of CCA, ACQ-C, ACQ-D, CA-B, SBX/DOT and zinc borate. Acceptable for use in exterior environments. Use caution not to damage coating during installation. The 410 stainless-steel Titen with C4 top coat provides "medium" corrosion protection (reference chart on Corrosion Information). Recommendations are based on testing and experience at time of publication and may change. Simpson Strong-Tie cannot provide estimates on service life of screws.
