Tapcon ITW 1/4 x 1-3/4 Torx Anchor Screws 100 Pack with Drill Bit

Description

Product Overview

Tapcon ITW 1/4 x 1-3/4 Torx concrete anchor screws are precision‑engineered masonry fasteners designed to cut threads directly into concrete, brick, block, and other solid substrates. Constructed from hardened steel, each screw features a star‑Torx drive that provides superior torque transfer while minimizing cam‑out during installation. The package includes 100 screws, each measuring 1/4 inch in diameter and 1‑3/4 inches in length, along with a matching 5/32 inch drill bit to ensure a perfect pilot hole. The compact 4 × 4 × 3‑inch box weighs approximately 1.7 pounds, making it easy to store and transport for on‑site projects. These anchors are part of ITW’s Tapcon line, renowned for Advanced Threadform Technology that creates a secure, load‑bearing connection in a variety of masonry materials.

Usage

These anchors excel in residential, commercial, and industrial settings where reliable attachment to concrete or masonry is required. Typical applications include mounting shelving brackets for electrical equipment, securing HVAC strapping, fastening 2×4 lumber to concrete walls, and installing window frames, door jambs, and sill plates. The Torx head design allows for quick, one‑handed driving with standard power tools, reducing installation time and fatigue. Because the screws cut their own threads, no pre‑drilled tapping is necessary, making them ideal for retrofit projects, new construction, and repair work. The included drill bit matches the recommended pilot hole size, ensuring optimal thread engagement and load capacity for each fastener.

FAQ

What type of material can these anchors be used with?

Tapcon ITW anchors are designed for concrete, brick, block, and other solid masonry substrates. They also work well with stone and hardened concrete surfaces where a strong, permanent attachment is required.

Do I need a special tool to install the Torx head screws?

No special tool is required. A standard power drill or impact driver equipped with a Torx (star) bit of the appropriate size will drive the screw efficiently. The included drill bit matches the recommended pilot hole size for optimal performance.

How much load can each screw support?

Load capacity varies based on the substrate and installation depth, but the 1/4″ x 1‑3/4″ Tapcon anchors typically hold up to 1,200 lb in solid concrete when installed according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Always consult the ITW load‑capacity chart for specific project requirements.

Are these anchors suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The hardened steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, making the anchors suitable for exterior applications such as mounting fence posts, outdoor shelving, and exterior wall fixtures.

What warranty does ITW offer on these products?

ITW backs its Tapcon anchors with a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and material failures under normal use. For detailed warranty terms, contact ITW customer support or refer to the product documentation included in the packaging.
