FAQ’s

What does "Tapcon" mean?

The Tapcon name is derived from its ability to "tap" threads into "con"crete.

How do I install a Tapcon anchor?

First, drill a hole using a hammer-drill or rotary hammer in the hammer mode. Second, switch your drill out of hammer mode and position the Tapcon anchor into a nut driver or onto a Phillips bit. Then drive the anchor into the pre-drilled hole until it is fully seated. For more information, click here

How much holding power does a Tapcon anchor provide?

Tapcon anchor performance depends on the diameter of the screw, embedment depth and compressive strength of the concrete. Click here for specific performance data.

Can Tapcon anchors be used in coastal and other highly corrosive environments?

Yes, 410 Stainless Steel, White Ultrashield, coated Tapcons including Phillips, Hex, and Maxi-set headed anchors provide the highest degree of protection in highly corrosive environments. 

Can Tapcon anchors replace other types of anchors?

Yes, Tapcon anchors can be used in place of traditional mechanical expansion anchors such as wedge anchors, sleeve anchors and plugs.

What if I need to remove and/or move my application in the future?

Tapcon anchors are reversible, allowing future removal of any application.

How deep do I drill the pilot hole?

The drilled hole for a 3/16", 1/4" and 5/16" anchors requires a 1/4" deeper hole, and the 3/8" and 1/2" anchors require a 1/2" deeper hole. This will ensure that any dust that settles in the hole will not interfere with the Tapcon threads.

What does ANSI stand for?

The American National Standards Institute is a private, non-profit organization that oversees product standards, including masonry drill bits.
