SIMPSON STRONG-TIE THD37500H TITEN HD 3/8 X 5

Titen HD® Screw Anchor

The Titen® HD screw anchor is a patented, high-strength screw anchor for concrete and masonry. The anchor offers high-strength performance and low installation torque with no secondary setting. For use in dry, interior, non-corrosive environments or temporary outdoor applications, the Titen HD has been tested to offer industry-leading performance in cracked and uncracked concrete – even in seismic loading conditions.

Features:

·          Code-listed under the current IBC/IRC in accordance with AC193 for cracked concrete applications per ICC-ES ESR-2713

·          Code-listed under the current IBC/IRC in accordance with AC106 for masonry applications per ICC-ES ESR-1056

·          Thread design undercuts to efficiently transfer the load to the base material

·          Specialized heat-treating process creates tip hardness for better cutting without compromising the ductility that helps prevent breakage

·          No special drill bit needed: Designed to install using standard-sized ANSI tolerance drill bits

·          Installs with 50% less torque: Testing shows that when compared to competitors, the Titen HD requires 50% less torque to be installed in concrete

·          Hex-washer head: Requires no separate washer and provides a clean installed appearance.

·          Removable: Ideal for temporary anchoring (e.g. formwork, bracing) or applications where fixtures may need to be moved. Re-use of the anchor to achieve listed load values is not recommended.

 Codes: ICC-ES ESR-2713 (concrete); ICC-ES ESR-1056 (masonry); City of Los Angeles RR25741 (concrete), RR25560 (masonry); Florida FL 11506; FM listed

Material: Carbon steel, heat treated

Finish: Zinc plated or mechanically galvanized

Installation: Holes in metal fixtures to be mounted should match the diameter

specified in the table on page 22.

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.

·          Use a Titen HD screw anchor one time only. Installing the anchor multiple times may result in excessive thread wear and reduce load capacity.

·          Drill a hole in the base material using a carbide drill bit the same diameter as the nominal diameter of the anchor to be installed. Drill the hole to the specified embedment depth plus 1/2" minimum

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.

·          Insert the anchor through the fixture and into the hole.

·          Tighten the anchor into the base material until the hex washer head contacts the fixture.

·          Do not use impact wrenches to install into hollow CMU.
