Simpson Strong Tie’s new Stainless Steel Titen HD (THDSS) heavy-duty screw anchor for concrete and masonry is made using a bi-metal design that combines the corrosion resistance of Type 316 stainless steel with the undercutting ability of heat-treated carbon-steel cutting threads. To protect the surrounding concrete from cracking caused by corrosion (and thus expansion) over time of the metals in the anchor, the use of carbon steel is confined to the helical-coil thread that’s brazed into the stainless steel shank of the anchor. Pricing varies by distributor. strongtie.com
