    Also known as Tapcons, use these screws in applications requiring high strength. All have a hex-washer head for a secure grip with a wrench. Drive into a hole with a hammer drill or socket wrench. Pull-out strength and shear strength values are 25% of the ultimate values.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Zinc-Plated 410 Stainless Steel—410 stainless steel screws are strong, wear resistant, mildly chemical resistant, and magnetic. They have a zinc plating that adds extra corrosion resistance.

    Hex Head Tapping Screws for Masonry and Concrete

    Secure material into masonry and concrete—these screws have a hex head for a firm, high-torque grip. They’re also known as Tapcons. To create a pilot hole, use a hammer drill or rotary hammer and a compatible bit. Pull-out strength and shear strength values are 25% of the ultimate values.
    Corrosion-Resistant-Coated Steel—Won’t rust in wet environments but are less corrosion resistant than stainless steel screws.
    410 Stainless Steel—Tougher and more wear resistant than other stainless steel screws but less corrosion resistant.

    Removable Taper-Bolt Anchors for Concrete

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Anchors. Removable Taper-Bolt Anchors for Concrete.
    Remove the bolt to adjust, move, or replace components. Manufactured in the U.S. with Grade 5 steel, these anchors have over twice the shear strength of our wedge anchors, making them strong enough to secure highway barriers and train tracks. When you tighten them, the tapered bolt expands the nut, spreading the gripping force along its entire length. This creates the higher strength than wedge anchors, where the grip is focused at the wedge. These anchors are more forgiving of variations in hole precision than wedge anchors and require more torque to install. The increased torque puts stress on your base material, so don't use them near edges, corners, or in cracked surfaces.
    To install, thread the nut onto the tapered bolt. Drive the anchor through your component into a drilled hole. Then, turn the bolt to expand the nut for a tight hold. You can repeatedly use the bolt in the same hole. To use the bolt in a new hole, a replacement expander nut (sold separately) is required.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—The most common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.

    Bolt-Style Sleeve Anchors for Block and Brick

    Remove the bolt so the anchor is flush with your walls and floors to slide components past these anchors, making it easier to install or make adjustments. They’re best for door frames that need to be pressed into place or machinery you service frequently. All have a sleeve that expands inside your hole to create a strong grip. Since the gripping force is distributed along the entire length of the anchor, it won’t crack soft materials like block and brick. You can use these anchors as an alternative to wedge anchors in concrete near edges, corners, or other weak points, but they are not as strong.
    To install, drive the anchor through your component into a drilled hole until the head meets the surface. Then, tighten the bolt to expand the anchor sleeve. As you tighten, the nylon ring compresses to secure the component against the surface. You can remove the bolt, but the anchor itself cannot be removed.

    Anchors for Drywall

    The traditional, economical choice for mounting lightweight switches, security cameras, and clocks into drywall. All of these anchors expand against your hole’s walls to reinforce your mounting hole and resist pullout.
    To install, drill a hole slightly deeper than the anchor is long. Next, insert the anchor until it's flush with the surface. Then, thread a tapping screw through your component into the anchor and tighten. Remove your component by unfastening the screw, but the anchor itself cannot be removed.
