Tapcon Screws

Tapcon®is the #1 recognized screw anchor brand in the industry with unmatched performance in concrete, block, and brick applications, making it an excellent alternative to expansion anchors, plugs, and lag shields.

Patented in 1976 by ITW Buildex, the Tapcon anchor is the original masonry fastener that revolutionized the fastener industry. The name Tapcon comes from its unique ability to TAP its threads into CONcrete. No other product in the industry anchors to concrete, block, and brick with the ease and power of a Tapcon anchor.

With high pullout performance values, large-diameter Tapcon screw anchors are a viable alternative to wedge and sleeve anchors.
