    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.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The best choice for wet and outdoor environments. These screws have a stainless steel head to resist corrosion and a hardened steel point and threads to penetrate concrete.
    Oversized Flange—Spread out pressure during installation to prevent damaging thin and soft materials. The flange also neatly covers pilot holes.
