Titen HD® Screw Anchor Code Listed for Cracked Concrete

Pleasanton, Calif. – As one of Simpson Strong-Tie Anchor Systems' most popular anchors, the Titen HD® screw anchor provides a high-strength connection for concrete and masonry. The patented anchor is now code listed for use in both cracked and uncracked concrete, meeting the requirements of the new 2006 International Building Code (IBC) for post-installed anchors (see ICC-ES evaluation report: ESR-2713).

The Titen HD screw anchor has been tested in accordance with AC193 and has shown to provide outstanding performance in cracked and uncracked concrete under both static and seismic loading conditions. The self-undercutting, non-expansion characteristics of the anchor make it ideal for structural applications, even at reduced edge distances and spacings.

As an anchoring solution for all types of fixtures and base plates, the Titen HD anchor is available in 3/8"-3/4" diameters. The threaded design requires less installation torque, allowing for quick and easy installation. The anchor installs with standard size drill bits and is removable.
