EXPANSION DELAYS

Hammering, setting, torquing — wedges and sleeves add minutes per anchor.

EDGE CRACKING

Expansion pressure splits concrete near edges and forces wider layouts.

SKU SPRAWL

Different anchors for solid concrete, block and brick — multiple boxes, multiple bits.

ONE-SHOT INSTALLS

Expansion anchors are permanent. Mistakes cost time and material.

CODE DOCUMENTATION GAPS

Non-rated anchors get rejected by inspectors and engineers of record.

THE TAPCON+ DIFFERENCE

TAPCON+ ELIMINATES ALL OF IT.

Patented Advanced Threadform Technology™ cuts its own threads into the substrate — no expansion, no shields, no setting tools. One anchor, one drill bit, one workflow across concrete, hollow block, grout-filled block and brick. Removable and reversible when the job changes.

ONE ANCHOR — FEWER SKUS ON THE TRUCK

One Tapcon+ SKU replaces stock-outs of wedges, sleeves and lag shields across the most common heavy-duty applications:

Sill plates & ledger boards
Beams, columns & conveyors
Railings & stadium seating
Equipment & HVAC base mounts

ONE ANCHOR. FEWER SKUS. SIMPLER INVENTORY.

ENGINEERED & MANUFACTURED IN THE USA

Tapcon+ is engineered, heat-treated and manufactured in the United States — built to perform when supply matters most:

Reliable domestic supply
Tight tolerances on every batch
Consistent threadform & finish
Faster replenishment for distributors

BUILT HERE. AVAILABLE WHEN THE JOB CAN'T WAIT.

PROVEN, APPROVED, AND TRUSTED

Tapcon+ meets the strict standards modern jobsites and engineers demand:

Code-approved for cracked concrete & seismic (ICC-ES)
Full ESR documentation & submittal package
2,500–8,500 psi concrete compressive strength range
Backed by decades of ITW fastening expertise

CONFIDENCE YOU CAN SPECIFY, SELL, AND INSTALL.

THE TAPCON+ ADVANTAGE

HOLDING POWER THAT PROTECTS YOUR BOTTOM LINE.

30% less installation torque than the original Tapcon
20% more holding power for heavy-duty applications
Up to 8,500 psi concrete compressive strength rated
Cracked-concrete & seismic approved (ICC-ES ESR)
Removable & reversible — no shields left in the wall

That means fewer call-backs, fewer rejections from the engineer of record, and faster installs on every floor.

Drill

Hammer-drill the pilot hole to the spec'd diameter. Drill ¼" deeper than the embedment depth to clear dust.

Clean

Blow or brush the hole clear. Clean holes equal full pull-out values, every time.

Drive

Drive with an impact wrench or socket — the Hi-Lo threads cut their own grip. Do not over-torque.

Patented Advanced Threadform Technology™ — notched cutting teeth tap threads directly into hardened concrete, brick and block.
