Simpson Strong Tie THD50500H 1/2" x 5" Titen HD Heavy Duty Screw Anchor for Concrete/Masonry 20 per Box

Product Information

Allowable loads have been increased for wind or earthquake loading with no further increase allowed. Reduce where other loads govern. Spacing requirements for the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor are less between anchors and an unsupported edge because the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor is not an expansion anchor and does not exert force against the base material. The minimum spacing requirements for all diameters of the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchors is 3” Titen HD® Minimum Edge Distance Drill a hole in the base material using a carbide drill bit (complying with ANSI B212.15) with the same diameter as the nominal diameter of the anchor to be installed. Drill the hole to the specified minimum hole depth overdrill (see table below) 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 the dust from drilling and tapping.

With a hammer drill and a carbide bit that meets ANSI standards and the same diameter as the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor being installed, drill a hole in the base material. Drill the hole a minimum of 1/2” deeper than the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchors will penetrate. A space of 1” under the head is unthreaded on two of the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchors to allow for installation into the tilt-up braces used in tilt-up construction. The 3/4” x 6” and the 3/4” x 7 are designed specifically for this type of application. Titen HD® Installation Models THD37134H and THD37212H do not meet minimum embedment depth requirements for strength design and require maximum installation torque of 25 ft. – lb. using a torque wrench, driver drill or cordless 1/4" impact driver with a maximum permitted torque rating of 100 ft. – lb.Post installed inspection of the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor is simple because the length of the anchor is stamped on the head of the anchor. During an inspection, the embedment depth of any particular anchor can be determined by subtracting the length of the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor above the surface of the base material from the total length of the anchor. Drill Bit Requirements Considered a post-installed concrete fastener, the Titen HD anchor needs to be located a minimum distance from an unsupported edge. Since this is not an expansion anchor, the minimum distance from an unsupported edge is 1-3/4-inches for all diameters.

The hole drilled must be larger in diameter than the diameter of the Titen HD anchor. It is necessary to determine whether the anchor will fit properly through the fixture hole before the hole is drilled into the base material. The drill bit used for drilling a hole in the base material for the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor must meet ANSI standards. Hole size is equal to anchor size. The diameter of the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor being installed is equal to the hole diameter that must be drilled into the base material. If the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor is 3/8” then a 3/8” hole must be drilled into the base material using a bit that meets ANSI standards. Hole Size

The anchor includes a hex-washer head for a cleaner installed appearance. No separate washer is necessary unless it is required by code. 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.

Models THDC25238CS6SS, THD37212CS and THD37212CS6SS do not meet minimum embedment depth requirements for strength design and require maximum installation torque of 25 ft. – lb. using a torque wrench, driver drill or cordless 1/4" impact driver with a maximum permitted torque rating of 100 ft. – lb. All Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchors come with a hex washer head that does not require the use of a separate washer. The hex head leaves a very clean look once installed with no stud or nut protruding above the fixture. The hex washer head is serrated, giving the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchors very good vibration resistance once the head of the Titen

ABU products may be installed with either bolts or nails (not both) to achieve table loads. ABU88Z, ABU88RZ, ABU1010Z, ABU1010RZ, and ABU1212Z/RZ may be installed with (8) 1/4" x 3" Strong-Drive® SDS Heavy-Duty Connector screws (sold separately) for the same table load. The hole in the fixture needs to be larger in diameter than the diameter of the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor being installed. It is very important to make sure that the Titen HD® heavy-duty screw anchor being installed will fit through the fixture hole before the hole in the base material is drilled. See the chart below for the dimensions of the recommended hole diameter in the fixture: Titen HD® Diameter Nominal embedment depth for post-installed anchors into concrete must be 4" for SET-3G™ or AT-XP®, or use THD50400H Titen HD® screw anchors. Anchorage into CMU is per designer.

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 minimum hole depth overdrill (see table below) 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 the dust from drilling and tapping. If the anchor doesn’t install completely, remove it from the hole, make certain that all the dust is removed from the hole or drill the hole deeper so that the dust can settle below the anchor. Re-install the anchor by hand to avoid cross threading from occurring. Post-installed inspection of the anchor can be performed in a snap because the length is stamped on the anchor’s head. Embedment depth of any particular anchor has to be calculated. To determine the depth, simply subtract the length of the anchor above the surface of the base material from the total length of the anchor. From testing to service to availability, everything we do is engineered to ensure your project's success. With every product, you know you are getting the quality, value, service and on-time delivery that we have built our reputation on for the past 60 years. It is easy to remove, so it’s ideal for temporary anchoring of formwork, bracing, or for applications where fixtures may be moved.Refer to a chart that provides the diameter of the anchor, the recommended fixture, the hole diameter, and the wrench size before installation. Many of these products are approved for installation with Strong-Drive® SD Connector screws. Model No. Use the hammer drill and carbide bit to drill a hole into the base material. The hole should be about a 1/2-inch longer than the length of the anchor.
