 Tapcon Anchors—
SPECIFIED FOR ANCHORAGE INTO CONCRETE, BRICK OR BLOCK
tap_prod1b.jpg (9108 bytes)
The "original masonry" anchor that cuts its own threads into concrete, brick, or block. Maximum performance is achieved because the Tapcon Anchor, the Condrive Installation Tool, and the carbide-tipped Tapcon Drill Bits are designed to work as a system. It is essential to use the Condrive tool and the correct drill bit to assure consistent anchor performance.
 
ADVANTAGES
TapconWorks in all masonry base materials
TapconFast and easy— 3 anchors per minute
TapconNo hole spotting or inserts required
TapconRemovable
TapconSlotted hex and philips flat head styles
TapconExcellent corrosion protection— Climaseal™ coated
TapconAvailable in 410 Stainless Steel
 
Tapcon Anchors

Hex Head style on Tapcon Anchors is available for majority of fixture anchoring needs

Climaseal™ Coating is standard on all Tapcon anchors to provide extended corrosion resistance

Now available in 410 Stainless Steel

Phillips Flat Head style is available when flush seating is necessary in countersink applications

Advanced Threadform cuts into masonry materials for greater stability and pullout values

Lengths of Tapcon Anchors range from 1-1/4" to 4" in 3/16" and up to 6" in 1/4" diameters.

Nail-Type Point guides the anchor into the pre-drilled hole. Excellent for wood to concrete applications

INSTALLATION STEPS
Read instructions before using (installation)!
warning symbol WARNING! If there are any questions concerning proper installation, applications or appropriate use of this product, please call our Technical Services Department at 1-800-899-7890. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury.
1. Select proper fastener – diameter/head style/length
a)
 Use selection chart to choose proper length.
2. Drill Hole – use selection chart to determine drill bit length and depth of hole.
a)
 Choose appropriate drill bit based upon diameter of Tapcon Anchor.
b)
 Drill hole minimum ¼” deeper than Tapcon Anchor to be embedded.
Minimum anchor embedment: 1”
Maximum anchor embedment: 1-3/4”
3. Drive Anchor
warning symbol WARNING! Failure to wear safety glasses with side shields can result in serious personal injury. Always wear ANSI compliant eye protection (ANSI Z87.1-2003)
warning symbol WARNING! Using the wrong size drill bit will affect performance values and may cause faliure.
