Tapcon+ unmatched performance in concrete, block and brick applications make them an excellent alternative to expansion anchors, plugs, lag shields and have a blue corrosion resistant coating that enables them to withstand the harshest conditions.
Carbide tipped bit must be used for drilling the hole into the base material for the Tapcon screw. The quality ANSI standard carbide tips are brazed onto the end of the bit to ensure long life and consistent hole tolerance. Older style or less expensive carbide-tipped bits have the carbide soldered on.
The 3/16” tapcon uses a 5/32” bit, the 1/4” tapcon needs a 3/16” diameter bit, the 3/8” tapcon requires a 5/16”, the 1/2” tapcon requires a 7/16” bit, a 5/8”tapcon needs a 1/2” bit and the 3/4” tapcon requires the use of a 5/8” carbide tipped bit.
The minimum depth of embedment for the Tapcon screw is 1 inch, and the maximum embedment is 1-3/4 inch. The depth of the hole should be drilled to allow a minimum space at the bottom of the hole of 1/2 inch. The minimum depth of the hole equals 1 inch plus 1/2 inch or 1-1/2” inches.
The hole must be drilled using a hammer drill with a carbide tipped bit meeting ANSI standards. A bit that meets ANSI standards will ensure that the hole diameter will meet the requirements of the Tapcon®.
Tapcon® concrete screws tap threads into a predrilled hole in concrete, brick or block. The 5/32" bit is used for the 3/16" Tapcon® concrete screw and the 3/16" bit is used for the 1/4" Tapcon.
Over tightening/driving can result in the threads of the Tapcon being worn down as they spin against the concrete, some of the concrete will also be ground away. The result is a fastener that won't hold, just like over boring the whole with the masonry bit. So remember, snug it up, but don't over tighten.
To use concrete screws all you need to do is drill a 6mm pilot hole and drive in the screw. It's that simple. The torx socket (TX30) gives a positive drive to send the screw in. The self-tapping screw's threads will dig in to the material to keep the fastening secure.
5/16” 1-3/4” 3,045 lbs.3/8” 2-1/2” 5,955 lbs.1/2" 3” 11,960 lbs. A safety factor of 4:1 or 25% of ultimate pullout/shear value is generally accepted as a safe working load.
Masonry and Concrete anchors vary in strength and how much weight they can support. They usually fall under light-duty (for up to 50 pounds), medium-duty (for up to 200 pounds), and heavy-duty (for structural applications and weights over 200 pounds).
Light-duty anchors are good for wall hangings that weigh up to 50 pounds. Medium-duty anchors are good for wall hangings that weigh up to 200 pounds. Heavy-duty anchors are good for structural needs and wall hangings over 200 pounds.
